LaColombe CEO Todd Carmichael: Yes… Coffee Really Is That Important       "You know… this is, excuse me, a damn fine cup of coffee. I’ve had I can’t tell you how many cups of coffee in my life, and this… this is one of the best"    -- Special Agent Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks     When is the last time you went to work and saw no one drinking a cup of coffee?   Imagine a cybersecurity world where this is no lattes… no PSLs… no nitro cold brews… I know… I know… it’s totally science fiction and the stuff of nightmares.   LaColombe co-founder and CEO Todd Carmichael is here to allay those fears. When he isn’t revolutionizing the coffee world, he is putting in good works around the country and around the world. Whether it is assisting in rebuilding Haitian coffee farms or working in his area to help his local school district, Todd has a lot on his plate.   Did we mention that he holds the world record for the fastest solo trek across Antarctica to reach the South Pole? Yeah. He did that.   Now consider our real world…   What if I told you that US coffee drinkers consume about 3 cups a day on average…   What if I told you that the US coffee shop market did $45.4 BILLION in business 2018 with over 35,000 stores…   Did I mention that Pabst Blue Ribbon recently introduced Hard Coffee?   Yeah… Coffee really is that important   This week on InSecurity Matt Stephenson speaks with Todd Carmichael about a life long, globe spanning journey that includes trekking across Antarctica, a hand-restored sailboat, all 7 continents, a hand made, blown glass bong that revolutionized the coffee industry, helping to rebuild Haitian coffee farms and how he hacked the coffee industry because “America deserves a better cup of coffee.”   About Todd Carmichael Todd Carmichael’s passion to push the U.S. coffee scene forward, alongside his partner and co-founder JP Liberit, pushed La Colombe to the forefront of the ethical trade movement where they regularly dabble in new terrain, invent ground-breaking new brewing devices and beverages, such as the first ever Draft Latte. He is also the host of two Travel Channel series, Dangerous Grounds and Uncommon Grounds. A passionate crusader for social and ecological causes, Todd has a decades-long history of undertaking self-supported treks into challenging environments. He’s visited nearly half of the world’s countries, crossed large parts of the Sahara Desert on foot, as well as the Gobi Desert, Namib Desert, and others. He is also the first American to solo trek across Antarctica from the coast to the South Pole, establishing a world record speed of 39 days, 7 hours, and 49 minutes. Oh… and… in 2018, he was the 46th Coolest Dad in the world. Just saying… Married to singer songwriter Lauren Hart, the couple have expanded their family by adopting three beautiful girls and a baby boy from Ethiopia.

Parham Eftekhari: Is Government Cybersecurity Broken?     … the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.  -- former Senator Ted Stevens, 2006   This photo… is not a photo of the internet… in case you were wondering.   Do we really want to trust that our elected officials have the slightest idea of what to do with regards to cybersecurity? Whether it is election meddling, attempts to hack voting facilities or data breaches of personnel records… this is territory that needs detailed research and expert analysis.   The current administration proposed an overall federal cybersecurity budget of $17.4 billion, which is an increase from the estimated $16.6 billion in fiscal 2019. Under this proposal, Civilian agencies overall would receive $7.79 billion which is roughly 1.5 percent below current levels.   If that number seems odd, that’s probably okay considering how much attention cybersecurity is attracting. However, it could have been worse, given the current administration’s general desire to trim civilian-agency spending. The White House is proposing to reduce overall non-defense spending by 5 percent.   With just a little bit of focus, we can discern that an agency was more likely to be proposed for an increase if it works on national security in some way. Cybersecurity efforts at the Departments of Energy, Justice and State all saw increases of over 7% or more.   Cyber programs at the Office of Personnel Management, which is under close scrutiny for how it protects the data of federal employees, saw a 4% increase to $47 million. You may recall the famous OPM data breach a few years back that put over 21 Million records into the wild   Oh… and… not for nothing… but it was Cylance that fixed that one…   In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, Matt Stephenson welcomes ICIT Executive Director Parham Eftekhari for a chat about what is happening in Washington when it comes to American policies on Cybersecurity. We take a look at the key pillars of Technology, Budget, Lobbying/Partisan politics and Legislation. Wanna drain the swamp? Take a listen first.     About Parham Eftekhari       Parham Eftekhari (@icitorg) is the Executive Director of the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT), the nation’s leading cybersecurity Think Tank whose mission is to improve the resiliency of the country’s 16 critical infrastructure sectors and empower generations of cybersecurity leaders. Leveraging 15 years of technology industry experience, Parham advises the world’s top public and private sector cybersecurity leaders, manages strategic alliances, executes business strategies, and builds meaningful thought leadership and educational programs.   Parham has organized, led or contributed to over 100 cybersecurity briefings and events at institutions including Congress, TEDx, C-SPAN and the World Bank, and regularly speaks to the media on cybersecurity issues.     About Matt Stephenson     Insecurity Podcast host Matt Stephenson (@packmatt73) leads the Security Technology team at Cylance, which puts him in front of crowds, cameras, and microphones all over the world.

Jay Prassl: Patch Your $#!% Are ALL of Your Apps and OSes up to date? Are you sure? How can you tell? An American Dental Association study in 2008 found that if you don’t brush your teeth you COULD DIE. The ADA recommends brushing your teeth twice a day for 4 minutes each time. What the hell does that have to do with anything? Stick around… According to Ponemon, nearly half of all companies they surveyed had suffered a breach. 57% of those companies were breached due to an unpatched vulnerability. A third of those companies KNEW they were vulnerable before the breach. The average company spends 321 labor hours a week managing their vulnerability response process. How’s that compare to spending 4 minutes, twice a day brushing your teeth? Starting to feel the connection there? In 2017, WannaCry affected over 200,000 machines in 150 countries over a weekend. The attack weapon was developed using NSA tools built to exploit Windows vulnerabilities. What I told you that Microsoft had released a patch for this vulnerability over a month before WannaCry hit? Speaking of Microsoft… our good friends at TripWire offer the following tell us that, in 2015, Microsoft alone issued 2804 patches. That’s roughly 56 patches every Tuesday… and that’s JUST Windows OS & applications Noodle on those numbers a bit… In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson spoke with Automox CEO Jay Prassl about the role that patching plays in every business’s cybersecurity hygiene. He founded Automox based on one simple maxim: Patch Your $#!% When most of us think of key components in cybersecurity, we tend to think of things like ransomware attacks, security solutions that bog down your network or terrible things in TV and movies that sound technical but are actually ridiculous. What if you had a way to keep your network clean and up to date by doing something as simple and boring as keeping your Operating Systems and applications up to date… Take a walk with Jay Prassl and see what you think. About Jay Prassl Jay Prassl (@jprassl) is the Founder and CEO of Automox. Jay founded Automox founded to pursue a vision: the complete automation of endpoint configuration, patching, management and inventory. Prior to Automox, Jay led the marketing efforts at SolidFire. Before that, he was employee number five at LeftHand Networks, where he spent 10 years breaking new ground in the storage market with the company's distributed SAN solution. He led multiple parts of the LeftHand business through its acquisition by HP. Somehow… when not saving the world through his pursuit of cyber hygiene… Jay finds time to bike, swim and surf. Some of these hobbies are required by state law in order to live in Boulder, Colorado.  About Automox Automox (@AutomoxApp) was founded to pursue a disruptive new vision: the complete automation of endpoint configuration, patching, management and inventory.

Roy Christopher: Dead Precedents… How Hip-Hop Defines the Future   I have absolute control of the record. The thing was, you’re not supposed to touch the middle of the vinyl. DJs are going to hate you. People are going to hate you. You’re going to ruin these records. I decided… that this… was the only way to do this.  -- Grandmaster Flash   Let’s push the talk about hacking shall we? Hacking is about finding the vulnerable spots in any systems and making your own choices about how to improve that system... rarely with the permission of the system’s owners. Viewed through that prism, Hip-Hop has always been about hacking. Hacking was running 1000 feet of extension cord to a public outlet in order to have a Battle in the park. Hacking was a DJ talking over a record at a club. Hacking was Kool Herc throwing a party at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx and not playing disco or pop music. Hacking was Grandmaster Flash touching the middle of the vinyl. Hacking is rhyming with Orange. Dr Roy Christopher has spent a lifetime listening to, researching, teaching and loving Hip-Hop. In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson digs into the crates with Roy about how Hip-Hop hacked the world to become one of the most significant drivers of modern culture. This will likely be the first podcast you listen to this week featuring steganography, Li’l Pump and John Baptist Porta’s 1558 book series Magia naturalis Do we even need to go on…?     Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future, uses the concerns and conceits of cyberpunk to thoughtfully remap hip-hop's spread from around the way to around the world. Its central argument is that the cultural practices of hip-hop culture are the blueprint to the 21st century, and that an understanding of its appropriation of language and technology is an understanding of the now. This book is about is the many ways that the foundations of hip-hop appropriation--allusions and creative language use, as well as technology and sampling--inform the new millennium.  -- www.roychristopher.com About Roy Christopher Roy Christopher (@RoyChristopher) marshals the middle between Mathers and McLuhan… He’s a self-described aging BMX and skateboarding zine kid. That’s where he learned to turn events and interviews into pages with staples. He has written about music, media, and culture for everything from magazines and blogs to journals and books. His current book, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future, is an Amazon Best Sller. Roy holds a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago and a member of the Adjunct Faculty at Loyola University Chicago Disinformation has referred to Roy as “One of the Internet’s leading interviewers of subculture and new-science icons.” Oh… as a child, he solved the Rubik’s Cube competitively.

Greg Silberman: Keep Ya Nose Out My Business   Are the neighbors watching? Is the mail man watching me And I don't feel safe anymore Oh what a mess! I wonder who's watching me now Who? The I.R.S.?!?!       -- Rockwell, Somebody’s Watching Me, 1984 Privacy is fundamentally about the ethical and responsible handling of personal data - from initial collection to eventual deletion. It is about understanding the context under which data is shared, providing people choices over how their data is used, and it's about respecting the individual. Many in information security often confuse the goals of privacy and security, or believe that privacy is about secrecy. Put simply, privacy is why security is done and security is how privacy is achieved. It is easy to have security without privacy, but impossible to have privacy without security. In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson takes a walk with Greg Silberman. Greg is the Chief Privacy Officer at Cylance and knows a thing or two about data privacy at the corporate, user and individual levels. Since the implementation of GDPR, coutries around the world are considering or implementing their own data privacy laws, with varying degrees of success. In the United States, we are about to see California lead with way with 2020’s California Consumer Protection Act. How will this impact business? What will it do to your favorite social media platforms? Will it affect you personally?  Come hear what Greg has to say. We won’t tell anyone About Greg Silberman Greg Silberman (@gpsilberman) is the Chief Privacy Officer and Vice President of Legal Affairs at Cylance.

For a second… forget about the fact that hospitals are here to heal, cure and research. Take a cold, clinical look just at the medical technology involved in a hospital Let’s look at one Healthcare org as an example: The Mayo Clinic has 25,000 networkd medical devices More than 6,000 unique makes and models Industry Best Practices states that each device should have A unique 20 character password For every employee On every device A system that locks users out after 10 minutes of inactivity A new passwords every 30 days Mayo Clinic has 63,000 doctors, and allied health staff Do the math... That’s around 19,000,000,000 passwords to be entered. And that’s assuming no one is automatically logged out after 10 minutes of inactivity. In the healthcare industry, inefficiency can cost lives. But so can a lack of security. In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson talks with Stephanie Domas. Stephanie is the Vice President of Research & Development at MedSec.

On this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, guest host Matt Stephenson chats with Cylance Senior Director of Product Management Doris Yang.

InSecurity Podcast: Sara Lofgren: What the Hell does IoT Even Mean? An 80s keypad stuck on a 60s computer system. Take two things that work and nail them together Sam “The Falcon” Wilson Ultimate Galactus Trilogy– Warren Ellis IOT: even the name has different meanings to different people. While people in technology know that IOT stands for “Internet of Things,” what counts as a thing? IOT adoption is ramping faster than home PC or WWW adoption did. The small price tag, stand-alone nature, ease-of-use, and business value of IOT make it appealing to both individuals and industry. With any new technology, utility always proceeds security. So unsurprisingly, security is currently the biggest hurdle to adoption - or as some technologists joke, “there is no 'S' in IOT”. In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson chats with Sara Lofgren about the present state and future of the Internet of Things. As discrete network boundaries continue to dissolve, the web of connected things will continue to grow and be increasingly vulnerable. These always connected, diverse, and limited-function devices will need a bold and visionary security solution that does not require human interaction. Sara wants to make sure that we are doing the needful to protect the Things, the Data and ourselves… About Sara Lofgren Sara Lofgren is the Channel Sales Engineering Manager at Cylance.

DirtySecurity Podcast: Anton Grashion: The Private Parts of Security Does privacy even exist any more? Who has access to you and your data? The launch of GDPR in Europe, the signing of the Japanese Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), and the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) started a global shift toward comprehensive data privacy regulations. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2018, more than 50 percentof companies affected by GDPR will not be in full compliance with the requirements. With just a few weeks left to go in the year, many global organizations still fail to adhere to the regulation’s strict conditions and are instead taking a wait-and-see approach. They mistakenly believe compliance only affects large organizations with deep pockets. Cylance provides needed resources to organizations that don’t have the IT and personnel budgets to meet compliance regulations on their own—from identification to remediation to ongoing prevention. In this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, Edward Preston talks with Cylance Managing Director of Security Practice Dr Anton Grisham about living in a post-GDPR world. The pressure is on businesses now to respect and protect the privacy of people across the UK and European Union.

What if I told you a man named Matthew Mellon owned a cache of Ripple that at one point was valued at over $1 BILLION and was still worth over $500 MILLION at the time of his unexpected death Mellon claimed to have kept the digital keys to his Ripple wallet locked in cold storage in other people's names at various locations around the US What does the family of the deceased do in a situation like this?

InSecurity Podcast: Why is Cylance entering the consumer market? What if I told you that 67% of workers use their own personal devices while at work 37% of US workers telecommute What if you asked me “why should I care?” Cloud-based solutions (Office365, DropBox, Box, Trello, Atlassian, etc) allow employees to access corporate assets from personal devices Employees can connect USB thumb drives to personal devices infected with malware, then plug them into a company device Employees can access corporate email on personal devices Telecommuters can VPN into work from a personal device Cached credentials from employees logging into company assets from a personal device could be stolen by malware Web-cam enabling malware on a personal device could spy on and compromise employees The virtual borders of a Corporate network are no longer defined by the corporate firewall. With the proliferation of work and personal devices at home, the distinction between the corporate network and employee’s home networks have become blurred. CISOs and their Security Teams have a difficult time controlling their security risk and exposure from cybersecurity threats originating from employee’s homes. Think you’ve got the kind of security solution in place you need to protect your network from not just the bad guys, but hard-working employees? In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, Hiep Dang and Edward Preston join Matt Stephenson to introduce Cylance’s new baby… Cylance Smart Antivirus. Hiep and Edward will explain how Cylance is bringing their groundbreaking, enterprise security solutions to the home user.

His journey has given Hiep a spectrum of experiences from burgeoning startups to Fortune 500 companies while solving deep technical to abstract business problems. Hiep’s sweet spot is product management because it is at the intersection of product strategy and technical execution. During the day, he geeks out on building innovative security products and at night Hiep teaches Kung Fu. About Edward Preston Edward Preston (@eptrader) has an eclectic professional background that stretches from the trading floors of Wall Street to data centers worldwide.

InSecurity Podcast: Katie Moussouris answers the question… Should the pursuit of coding perfection always include Bug Bounties? What if I told you that the industry average is 15-50 bugs per 1000 lines of code? You may not care if you’re creating a Word doc. What if you are in charge of launching the latest SpaceX rocket? What if you are Lewis Hamilton driving for Mercedes Formula 1 and a software glitchcauses you to lose a 3 second lead at the Australian Grand Prix? What if you are a general in charge of military forces using tools that include the same software I can buy on Amazon or Ali Baba? With so much of our world now driven by software, everything is on the line: money, property, lives. Perfection is never going to be an option, but it is fair to say that we need to be as close to perfect as possible No small feat… and no pressure on folks like today’s guest Katie Moussouris joins Matt Stephenson on the InSecurity podcast to talk about bugs and bug bounties and the impact they can have on security and privacy.
