“Shift Left” is a popular phrase in software development used to represent the idea of prioritizing certain tasks earlier in the life cycle process to avoid or easily identify potential problems before it moves on.   This week on Feds At The Edge, we ask the question – What does it take and what does it really mean to “shift left.” Our expert guests share practical insights on tackling the complex realities of modern software design and deployment.   Amit Madan, Chief Architect, Center for Enterprise Modernization at Mitre, recommends preparing for potential gaps when integrating legacy systems with modern, cloud-based solutions—and ensuring clear delineation of security responsibilities between agencies and cloud providers.  Eoghan Casey, Field CTO for Own, offers a compelling take on risk: sometimes, staying put poses more danger than moving forward. He highlights the need for early collaboration with security professionals and stresses the value of cross-agency knowledge sharing to foster a culture of security grounded in risk management and compliance.   Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform today to learn how federal teams are embedding security into every step of the software lifecycle—right from the start.

GithHub invented collaborative coding and in the process changed how open source projects, startups and eventually enterprises write code. GitHub Copilot is the first blockbuster product built on top of OpenAI's GPT models. It now accounts for more than 40 percent of GitHub revenue growth for an annual revenue run rate of $2 billion. Copilot itself is already a larger business than all of GitHub was when Microsoft acquired it in 2018. We talk to CEO Thomas Dohmke about how a small team at GitHub built on top of GPT-3 and quickly created a product that developers love—and can't live without. Thomas describes how the product has grown from simple autocomplete to a fully featured workspace for enterprise teams. He also believes that tools like Copilot will bring the power of coding to a billion developers by 2030.

Welcome to another edition of Brand Stories, part of our On Location coverage of Black Hat Conference 2024 in Las Vegas. In this episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli chat with Jeswin Mathai, Chief Architect at SquareX, one of our esteemed sponsors for this year's coverage. Jeswin brings his in-depth knowledge and experience in cybersecurity to discuss the innovative solutions SquareX is bringing to the table and what to expect at this year's event.Getting Ready for Black Hat 2024The conversation kicks off with Marco and Sean sharing their excitement about the upcoming Black Hat USA 2024 in Las Vegas. They fondly recall their past experiences and the anticipation that comes with one of the most significant cybersecurity events of the year. Both hosts highlight the significance of the event for ITSP Magazine, marking ten years since its inception at Black Hat.Introducing Jeswin Mathai and SquareXJeswin Mathai introduces himself as the Chief Architect at SquareX. He oversees managing the backend infrastructure and ensuring the product's efficiency and security, particularly as a browser extension designed to be non-intrusive and highly effective. With six years of experience in the security industry, Jeswin has made significant contributions through his work published at various conferences and the development of open-source tools like AWS Goat and Azure Goat.The Birth of SquareXSean and Marco delve deeper into the origins of SquareX. Jeswin shares the story of how SquareX was founded by Vivek Ramachandran, who previously founded Pentester Academy, a cybersecurity education company. Seeing the persistent issues in consumer security and the inefficacy of existing antivirus solutions, Vivek decided to shift focus to consumer security, particularly the visibility gap in browser-level security.Addressing Security GapsJeswin explains how traditional security solutions, like endpoint security and secure web gateways, often lack visibility at the browser level. Attacks originating from browsers go unnoticed, creating significant vulnerabilities. SquareX aims to fill this gap by providing comprehensive browser security, detecting and mitigating threats in real time without hampering user productivity.Innovative Security SolutionsSquareX started as a consumer-based product and later expanded to enterprise solutions. The core principles are privacy, productivity, and scalability. Jeswin elaborates on how SquareX leverages advanced web technologies like WebAssembly to perform extensive computations directly on the browser, ensuring minimal dependency on cloud resources and optimizing user experience.A Scalable and Privacy-Safe SolutionMarco raises the question of data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Jeswin reassures that SquareX is designed to be highly configurable, allowing administrators to adjust data privacy settings based on regional regulations. This flexibility ensures that user data remains secure and compliant with local laws.Real-World Use CasesTo illustrate SquareX's capabilities, Jeswin discusses common use cases like phishing attacks and how SquareX protects users. Attackers often exploit legitimate platforms like SharePoint and GitHub to bypass traditional security measures. With SquareX, administrators can enforce policies to block unauthorized credential entry, perform live analysis, and categorize content to prevent phishing scams and other threats.Looking Ahead to Black Hat and DEF CONThe discussion wraps up with a look at what attendees can expect from SquareX at Black Hat and DEF CON. SquareX will have a booth at both events, and Jeswin previews some of the talks on breaking secure web gateways and the dangers of malicious browser extensions. He encourages everyone to visit their booths and attend the talks to gain deeper insights into today's cybersecurity challenges and solutions.ConclusionIn conclusion, the conversation with Jeswin Mathai offers a comprehensive look at how SquareX is revolutionizing browser security. Their innovative solutions address critical gaps in traditional security measures, ensuring both consumer and enterprise users are protected against sophisticated threats.

[By popular request, an archive re-release from August 2018, featuring our extraordinary conversation with one of the central figures of the original North American Soccer League - from its chaotic formation in 1968 to its untimely demise in 1985.] + + + Soccer America columnist (and Episode #6 guest) Paul Gardner summed up this week's National Soccer Hall of Fame guest in his May 2015 commentary: “The debt owed by American soccer to Clive Toye is a vast one. It is not too much of an exaggeration to say, flatly, that without Toye's blind faith in the sport in the 1970s, pro soccer in the USA would have withered and died. Yes, Phil Woosnam and Lamar Hunt and Bob Hermann were there too. But in those unpromising years it was Toye's voice -- it came in a steady flow of ridiculously optimistic press releases and grandiose plans for a future that few others even dared to ponder -- that called loudest. “The New York Cosmos general manager credited with turning that league's fortunes around when he signed Pele to a contract in 1975. Toye, who was born in England and came to the United States in 1967 at the age of 33, was president of three North American Soccer League teams – the Cosmos, Chicago Sting and Toronto Blizzard – and general manager of the [original National Professional Soccer League and subsequent NASL] Baltimore Bays.  [He] was an official of the NASL in helping it through its crisis year of 1969 and in its final months in 1985 – and helped to found the third American Soccer League in 1988. “There has always been the spirit of a showman in Toye, and surely it was that spirit that enabled Toye to overlook the virtual collapse of the old North American Soccer League and to see instead a glittering future for the sport in the USA, even to declare to anyone who was listening -- and not many were in those days -- the preposterous notion that the USA should begin preparing to stage the World Cup. “And when the NASL, by the skin of its teeth and by the mad devotion of Toye et al., did survive, it was Toye who gave the reborn league its glittering image with his invention of the Cosmos, with his canny maneuvering and dealing, who brought Pele and Beckenbauer to New York.  Showmanship indeed.” Toye (A Kick in the Grass: The Slow Rise and Quick Demise of the NASL; Anywhere in the World) joins host Tim Hanlon for a lyrical and anecdote-filled journey through the pro league that he helped create, later put to rest, and which ultimately shored up the long-term foundation of the “beautiful game” in America. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: "Good Seats" Show & Defunct Team Merch:  http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN:  A Kick in the Grass: The Slow Rise and Quick Demise of the NASL (2006): https://amzn.to/3Ln1KAt Anywhere in the World (2015): https://amzn.to/3Y3TD3A SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable
