Join SD Times news editor Jenna Barron for a panel discussion on DeepSeek and what developers need to know about this model that has been in the spotlight for the past few weeks. The conversation covers why DeepSeek has gained so much attention, what makes it different from other models, proper data security and hygiene practices for using DeepSeek, and predictions for the future of AI innovation. The speakers include:Melissa Ruzzi, director of AI at AppOmniBratin Saha, chief product and technology officer at DigitalOceanKate O'Neill, author, speaker, and executive consultant on technology's impact on the human experienceRelated resources from our speakers:Kate's new book, What Matters Next: A Guide to Making Human-Friendly Tech Decisions - https://www.koinsights.com/books/what-matters-next-book/AppOmni's webinar on AI security and balancing the risks and benefits of AI - https://appomni.com/webinars/ai-security-balancing-business-and-saas-risks/ AskOmni, a chatbot for SaaS security - https://appomni.com/askomni/ How to Run DeepSeek R1 Large Language Models on DigitalOcean GPU Droplets - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/deepseek-r1-gpu-droplets DigitalOcean Deploy 2025 Keynote - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phxuIai5cD8 The video for this conversation was also posted to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdtkj2YN4Nw 

For this interview, Ben from CyberNest joins us to talk about one of my favorite subjects: information sharing in infosec. There are so many amazing skills, tips, techniques, and intel that security professionals have to share. Sadly, a natural corporate reluctance to share information viewed as privileged and private has historically had a chilling effect on information sharing. We'll discuss how to build such a community, how to clear the historical hurdles with information sharing, and how to monetize it without introducing bias and compromising the integrity of the information shared. Aaron was already a skilled bug hunter and working at HackerOne as a triage analyst at the time. What he discovered can't even be described as a software bug or a vulnerability. This type of finding has probably resulted in more security incidents and breaches than any other category: the unintentional misconfiguration. There's a lot of conversation right now about the grey space around 'shared responsibility'. In our news segment later, we'll also be discussing the difference between secure design and secure defaults. The recent incidents revolving around Snowflake customers getting compromised via credential stuffing attacks is a great example of this. Open AWS S3 buckets are probably the best known example of this problem. At what point is the service provider responsible for customer mistakes? When 80% of customers are making expensive, critical mistakes? Doesn't the service provider have a responsibility to protect its customers (even if it's from themselves)? These are the kinds of issues that led to Aaron getting his current job as Chief of SaaS Security Research at AppOmni, and also led to him recently finding another common misconfiguration - this time in ServiceNow's products. Finally, we'll discuss the value of a good bug report, and how it can be a killer addition to your resume if you're interested in this kind of work! Segment Resources: Aaron's blog about the ServiceNow data exposure. The ServiceNow blog, thanking AppOmni for its support in uncovering the issue.

On this week's episode of the Detection at Scale podcast, Jack talks with Drew Gatchell, Director, Detection Engineering at AppOmni. They discuss how to overcome the challenges to detection on SaaS platforms and how they're building strategies upon alerting and detection frameworks. They also talk about how generative AI can help with normalizing inputs, the benefits of data lakes for D&R, and why it's key to have a measurable plan for detection. Topics discussed: How AppOmni is tackling the challenges of detection in SaaS platforms and auto-logs, especially when it comes to varied latency. What frameworks Drew is working with and how he's building upon them for better detection. How signal creation starts with a hypothesis that can be turned into a plan, and why it's important to include signal redundancy. What techniques AppOmni takes to address security in real time. How they're using AI to normalize their inputs and create additional content on top of the detection rules. The benefits of data lakes and how they're a tremendous asset to D&R. Advice for security leaders on having a measurable plan for detection, why detection should be layered, and the need to continuously validate your capabilities.

SaaS Applications support large companies, small startups.

While most companies have significantly increased their investments in SaaS, they have not updated their security controls and processes to ward off threats posed by this medium. Leaving SaaS security to Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) is not sufficient. The security controls need to be placed around the data, APIs, and applications that are running inside a cloud environment, not outside its perimeter. This is the kind of security that AppOmni provides and today we have its CEO, Brendan O'Connor on the show to dive deeper into the subject of SaaS security. We begin with Brendan’s journey into IT and security and hear a bit more about what makes him tick. From there, we dive into the subject of security in the cloud as it pertains to SaaS specifically. Brendan does a great job of explaining why SaaS platforms are subject to so many misconfigurations and why these are not being recognized by security teams. He gets into how the cloud infrastructure is set up and uses a few brilliant analogies to describe how an attacker might get into a SaaS platform without security ever realizing. He talks about some basic security measures companies need to take and shares more about how solutions like AppOmni can automate security.

Most companies haven't updated their security controls to support SaaS, or invested in new technology to manage this problem.

There is not a one-size-fits-all solution.” — @AppOmniSecurity [0:05:29]“SaaS applications are becoming closer to operating systems in the cloud than a single simple web app. You can't watch what every individual is doing. You have got to put guardrails in place.” — @AppOmniSecurity [0:20:30]“SaaS is a fundamentally different architecture than hosting things on-premise. You need to rethink, what is the value that you get from your security tools? How can you get that value today in an automated fashion in these new systems that support that new architecture?” — @AppOmniSecurity [0:24:44]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Matt Chiodi on LinkedInMatt Chiodi on TwitterBrendan O’Connor on LinkedInAppOmniPrisma CloudComprehensive, full-stack cloud security Prisma Cloud is the industry’s only comprehensive Cloud Native Security Platform for IaaS/PaaS.
