This is a special episode, recorded live at the Mind Over Cyber Networking Breakfast and Mindfulness Workshop at RSA Conference 2024. George A was called away for CISO things, but I had a chance to sit down with three guests who wanted to share their stories of resilience: challenges to their mental wellbeing and also the strategies and frameworks they use on the regular to navigate those challenges.You are not alone. Our hope in sharing these stories is to help others understand many of your peers are going through the same stuff, but more importantly, share the ways they've learned to work with and through stress rather than try to block it all out or push it away.I spoke with Allan Alford, Kade Hennings, and Amanda Berlin. We're grateful for their time.WARNING: There is a mention of suicide in my last conversation, with Amanda. It's in the general, abstract sense, nothing specific or graphic, but a warning all the same.

Today Amanda Berlin from Blumira teaches us how to unlock the power of Sysmon so we can gain insight into the good, bad and ugly things happening on our corporate endpoints!  Key takeaways: Sysmon turns your windows logging up to 11, and pairs well with a config file like this one or this one. Careful if you are are running sysmon on non-SSD drives - the intense number of writes might bring that disk to its knees. Just getting started logging all the things with sysmon?  Why not pump those logs into a free logging/alerting system like Wazuh? I think it was SolarWinds log collector I was trying to think of while recording the show, not CloudTrail.

After you listen to today's episode,

When it finally dawned on me that I'd done nearly 100 episodes, I couldn't really believe it. Have I really come that far and been doing this that long. It almost feels like yesterday that I started. An entrepreneur's journey is by no means an easy one. But when you can stick with it the rewards are many. And I've asked three very special guests to join me to celebrate as we approach the 100th episode. Amanda Berlin, has been a guest more than once on the show, she was also the first coach I worked with in my business. She always has great insights and an interesting way of expressing things. It's such a pleasure to have her joining me.One of the impressions I had of  Dr. Carrie Graham, after she was a guest on the show was her ability to share so openly for the better of you listeners. Such authenticity can be hard to find, she does it with both grace and power. Something we can all do with more of.Last but far from least, Simone Köchli. Her passion for sustainability and making an impact is contagious. She's a follower of the show and I remember during one of our conversation she shared how she went through so many episodes to really understand pricing better for her, her co-founders and the business.In This Episode:They are each amazing in their own right, and lucky me (and you) I've brought them here together so we can learn from their lives and experience. In this episode we celebrate the podcast, the journey of the entrepreneur and so much more.

Today we're so excited to welcome Amanda Berlin, Lead Incident Detection Engineer at Blumira, back to the show (did you miss Amanda's first appearance on the show?  Check it out here)!  You might already be familiar with Amanda's awesome Defensive Security Handbook or her work with the Mental Health Hackers organization.  Today we virtually sat down to tackle a variety of topics and questions, including: What if HAFNIUM2 comes out today and only affects 2 specific versions of Exchange?  Does Blumira buy every software/hardware thingy out there and have an evil scientist lab where they test out all these different exploits, and then create detections for them? Can an old, out-of-touch security guy like me still find a place at the Vegas hacker conferences (even though I hate lines, heat, crowds and partying)?  Spoiler alert: yes. Are security vendors more likely to share their software/hardware security services with a defensive security group like Blumira, rather than pentesters like 7MinSec? Does Amanda think there's a gender bias in the security industry? Besides being aware of it happening, what can we do to cut down the bullying/secure-splaining/d-baggery/etc. in the industry?

Today we're pumped to share a featured interview with Amanda Berlin, Lead Incident Detection Engineer at Blumira. You might already be familiar with Amanda's awesome Defensive Security Handbook or fine work with Mental Health Hackers. We polled our Slack friends and structured this interview as an AAA (Ask Amanda Anything). That resulted in a really fun chat that covered many things technical and not technical! Questions we posed to Amanda include: Can you tell us more about your infosec superhero origin story and creation of your book? Will there ever be a new version of the Defensive Security Handbook? What blue team certs/YouTube vids/classes/conferences give the best bang for your buck? Was it a mistake to invent computers? From a logging standpoint, what devices provide blind spots (Linux systems, ioT devices, etc.)? You can wave a magic wand and solve any three security challenges instantly - what do you choose? Infosec Twitter drama. Love it? Leave it? Something inbetween? Tips to prevent business email compromise? How do we keep beloved family/friends (who keep falling prey to social engineering campaigns) safer on their computers and on the Web? Our company had a partial ransomware deployment a few years ago. Is changing Active Directory passwords changed and formatting affected systems enough? (Spoiler alert: no. See Microsoft's advice on the topic)

Aligning the price to the value you deliver makes sense. But too often it's simply not the case.Selling a high value offer at a low value price is a situation many businesses find themselves in. Often because they don't understand the value of what they're offering. Sometimes that's combined with a lack of confidence in charging the higher price. Either way the result is the same, they're undervaluing their offer. That's what I spoke about in this episode with Amanda Berlin, she's a visibility and business consultant for entrepreneurs. Helping them grow their business and impact based on tactics used and honed over 12 years in the corporate PR world. We talked about how the first step is awareness, because only once you know the problem can you start to solve it. Only then are you ready to raise your prices. There are many ways to go about it. This is one of the things that Amanda shares with us in this episode of Live with the Pricing Lady. She realized she was selling a high touch, high ticket offer at a low ticket price. What did she do? You'll have to listen to find out.Reach out to Amanda:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandagailberlin/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/berlinamanda/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amandaberlinTwitter: https://twitter.com/AmandaBerlin*****Need help optimizing your profits?

We interviewed SEVEN former student and staff members from the Agape Boarding School in Stockton, Missouri. They told their stories of severe emotional, sexual, and physical abuse happening at this school. We had young adults from 1994-2018 on the show. They all told the similar stories. They claim the abuse is still happening today in 2020. We heard about students having their heads put through walls. They were hit in the neck with a "Jurassic Elbow". They were beaten until they were bruised and bleeding. Our show makes no claims about this school. We are relaying the stories of students who claim severe abuse has been happening here for decades. Thank you to Amanda (Berlin),Tristan, Sean, Nicole, Aimee, Colton, and Rich for joining us tonight and bravely telling us their stories.  Please join us live tomorrow at 4PM EDT for episode 2. We will be interviewing Brett and other students who also tell stories of abuse. It will broadcast live on Podbean.  I can be reached at thejondivitoshow@gmail.com

In this sponsored BDS episode, Bryan Brake and Amanda Berlin interview Emily Eubanks, a Security Operations Analyst for #Blumira. We discuss common business risks like IT staff turnover, a lack of Incident Response procedures, choosing not to follow PowerShell best practices, and MFA use for critical or sensitive applications. We also discuss ways to improve security posture to mitigate these risks as well as how Blumira can help organizations in light of these common business challenges.

Please do not use SMS based MFA for critical applications. [6] [7] This is an easy layer of defense that has historically been very effective [5] One-Time Passwords (OTP) good but [8] FIDO U2F better Consider hardware tokens (e.g. Yubico YubiKey, Google Titan Security Key). MITIGATION:  Blumira requires use of MFA MFA related detections (e.g. AWS, Duo) BLUMIRA HELPS:   Incident Response Procedures   RISK: A lack of Incident Response Procedures or the decision to postpone incident response procedures because they would result in a disruption in service typically results in unfavorable outcomes. A written plan that identifies the roles, responsibilities, and procedures that should be set in motion once an incident has been declared.  If this is overwhelming to conceptualize, know there are a good amount of free and openly available resources already in existence to help with creations of new IR plans >> I highly recommend looking at NIST documentation to get an idea of what is possible and then scale to what is appropriate for your organization [4] The plan should be reviewed at a minimum once annually with everyone who is responsible for responding to incidents present. If anybody is unclear with their role, responsibilities or procedures then the Incident Response lead should work with them to get them there.  Incident Response procedures should be like a fire drill so that when there is a real fire, the team can work together to quickly put that fire out and minimize impact to the company and their customers. (Shoutout to the BDS podcast on drawing connections from fire fighting to Incident Response procedures with Dr. Catherine J. Ullman (@investigatorchi)) MITIGATION: Workflows Blumira helps with this by providing built-in guidance with workflows. Workflows ask direct questions and provide specific options to record responses to security findings to guide practitioners towards a conclusion. provides additional details to help operators make informed decisions in response to new findings. Finding analysis  BLUMIRA HELPS:   Recent or Frequent IT Staff Turnover   RISK: impedes troubleshooting logflow and/or investigations due the a lack of familiarity with the network environment Prevention might be the best solution? Giving your workers time during the work week to improve a work related skill can help identify when a team is reaching or exceeding their resource capacity. If your team is overworked they are more likely to make mistakes, will be less prepared to go the extra mile when it is needed because they'll already be tapped out of energy, and may be more likely to consider opportunities elsewhere. You want to limit keystone employees, meaning that if an employee leaves for whatever reason you do not want that employee's absence to cause a breakdown in processes for others. Redundancy is best here in most cases IMO. MITIGATION: Blumira works hard to create fewer, more actionable findings.  We strive to keep our alerts simple to provide the information that operators need to make informed decisions. We try to focus on findings that require action and provide workflows to provide additional guidance to help share recommendations on what to investigate next to evaluate the impact of a security event BLUMIRA HELPS:    PowerShell Scripting Best Practices   RISK: Detections will be less helpful if staff are frequently dismissing events in response to approved administrative behavior like maintenance scripts. Follow the PowerShell recommendations shared by Microsoft [1] including: Sign your scripts (lol Microsoft has this bolded by the way hint hint wink wink) “another method for keeping scripts security is vetting and signing your scripts Do not store secrets in PoSH scripts; if you are doing this you're gonna want to google “secrets management” [2] and learn more about how to secure store and access secrets across an enterprise environment  Briefly, there is a powershell module for vault secret extensions [3] some vault extensions include KeePass, LastPass, Hashicorp Vault, Azure KeyVault, KeyChain, and CredMan Use a recent version of Powershell (we are on version 7, but this article recommends 5+) Enable and collect powershell logs MITIGATION: Blumira detects on malicious powershell usage.
