As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data. In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He'll explore the need for Extended Access Management, a modern approach that ensures every identity is authentic, every device is healthy, and every application sign-in is secure, including the unmanaged ones. Tune in to learn how security teams can bridge the Access-Trust Gap while empowering employees with frictionless security. In this topic segment, we discuss the most interesting insights from the 2025 edition of Verizon's DBIR. You can grab your own copy of the report at https://verizon.com/dbir In this week's enterprise security news, Lots of funding announcements as we approach RSA New products The M-Trends also rudely dropped their report the same day as Verizon Supply chain threats Windows Recall is making another attempt MCP server challenges Non-human identities A startup post mortem Remember that Zoom outage a week or two ago?

In this interview, we're excited to speak with Pravi Devineni, who was into AI before it was insane. Pravi has a PhD in AI and remembers the days when machine learning (ML) and AI were synonymous. This is where we'll start our conversation: trying to get some perspective around how generative AI has changed the overall landscape of AI in the enterprise. Then, we move on to the topic of AI safety and whether that should be the CISO's job, or someone else's. Finally, we'll discuss the future of AI and try to end on a positive or hopeful note! What a time to have this conversation! Mere days from the certain destruction of CVE, averted only in the 11th hour, we have a chat about vulnerability management lifecycles. CVEs are definitely part of them. Vulnerability management is very much a hot mess at the moment for many reasons. Even with perfectly stable support from the institutions that catalog and label vulnerabilities from vendors, we'd still have some serious issues to address, like: disconnects between vulnerability analysts and asset owners gaps and issues in vulnerability discovery and asset management different options for workflows between security and IT: which is best? patching it like you stole it Oh, did we mention Matt built an open source vuln scanner? https://sirius.publickey.io/ In the enterprise security news, lots of funding, but no acquisitions? New companies new tools including a SecOps chrome plugin and a chrome plugin that tells you the price of enterprise software prompt engineering tips from google being an Innovation Sandbox finalist will cost you Security brutalism CVE dumpster fires and a heartwarming story about a dog, because we need to end on something happy!

Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most. The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up. Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead. This is what we'll be talking to Threatlocker's CEO and co-founder, Danny Jenkins, about on this episode. They seemed to have cracked the code here and are eager to share how they did it.

The core challenge of security operations, incident response, and even compliance is still a data management and analysis problem. Which is why we're seeing companies like Abstract Security pop up to address some of these challenges.

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited. Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach? We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills.

Segment Resources: This blog post from our threat research team on Scattered Spider shows how threat actors move laterally in an environment across identity providers, Iaas, PaaS and SaaS environments, and how this lateral movement ultimately creates blind spots for many security teams This great talk by Ian Ahl, from fwd:cloudsec 2024, touches on a lot of great TTPs used by attackers in IDPs and in the cloud Another blog, When AI Gets Hijacked: Exploiting Hosted Models for Dark Roleplaying and another, What Security Teams Can Learn From The Rippling/Deel Lawsuit: Intent Lies in Search Logs This week, in the enterprise security news, we check the vibes we check the funding we check runZero's latest release notes tons of free tools! the latest TTPs supply chain threats certs won't save you GRC needs disruption the latest Rippling/Deel drama All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

A successful SIEM deployment depends on a lot more than implementing the SIEM correctly. So many other things in your environment have an impact on your chances of a successful SIEM. Are the right logs enabled? Is your EDR working correctly? Would you notice a sudden increase or decrease in events from critical sources? What can practitioners do to ensure the success of their SIEM deployment? This segment is sponsored by Graylog. Visit https://securityweekly.com/graylog to learn more about them! In this interview, we feature some research from Geoff Cairns, an analyst at Forrester Research. This is a preview to the talk he'll be giving at Identiverse 2025 in a few months.

What does a mature SecOps team look like? There is pressure to do more with less staff, increase efficiency and reduce costs. JP Bourget's experience has led him to believe that the answer isn't a tool upgrade, it's better planning, architecture, and process. In this interview, we'll discuss some of the common mistakes SecOps teams make, and where to start when building the SOC of the future. It feels like forever ago, but in the mid-2010s, we collectively realized, as an industry, that prevention was never going to be enough. Some attacks were always going to make their way through. Then ransomware got popular and really drove this point home. Detection engineering is a tough challenge, however. Where do we start? Which attacks should we build detections for? How much of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix do we need to cover? How often do these detections need to be reviewed and updated? Wait, are any of our detections even working? In this interview with Michael Mumcuoglu, we'll discuss where SecOps teams get it wrong. We'll discuss common pitfalls, and strategies for building more resilient and effective detections. Again, as an industry, we need to understand why ransomware attacks keep going unnoticed, despite attackers using routine techniques and tools that we see over and over and over again.

Penetration tests are probably the most common and recognized cybersecurity consulting services. Nearly every business above a certain size has had at least one pentest by an external firm. Here's the thing, though - the average ransomware attack looks an awful lot like the bog standard pentest we've all been purchasing or delivering for years. Yet thousands of orgs every year fall victim to these attacks. What's going on here? Why are we so bad at stopping the very thing we've been training against for so long? This Interview with Phillip Wylie will provide some insight into this! Spoiler: a lot of the issues we had 10, even 15 years ago remain today. Segment resources: Phillip's talk, Optimal Offensive Security Programs from Dia de los Hackers last fall It takes months to get approvals and remediate cloud issues.

2025 brings us close to an interesting milestone - ransomware attacks, in their current, enterprise-focused form, are almost a decade old. These attacks are so common today, it's impossible to report on all of them. There are signs of hope, however - ransomware payments are significantly down. There are also signs defenders are getting more resilient, and are recovering more quickly from these attacks. Today, with Intel471's Mike Mitchell, we'll discuss what defenders need to know to protect against today's ransomware attacks. He'll share some stories and anecdotes from his experiences with customers. He'll also share some tips, and tricks for successful hunts, and how to catch attacks before even your tools trigger alerts. Segment Resources: https://intel471.com/blog/how-ransomware-may-trend-in-2025 And now, for something completely different! I've always urged the importance for practitioners to understand the underlying technology that they're challenged with defending. When we're yelling at the Linux admins and DevOps folks to "just patch it", what does that process entail? How do those patches get applied? When and how are they released in the first place? This is often one of the sticking points when security folks get nervous about "going open source", as if 90% of the code in their environments doesn't already come from some open source project. It's a legitimate concern however - without a legal contract, and some comfort level that a paid support team is actually going to fix critical vulnerabilities, how do we develop trust or a relationship with an open source project? In this interview, benny Vasquez, the Chair of the board of directors for AlmaLinux, will fill in some of the gaps for us, and help us understand how an open source project can not only be trusted, but in many cases may be more responsive to security teams' needs than a commercial vendor. Segment Resources: benny's 'highly scientific' survey on cloud vs on-prem usage across AlmaLinux users In the enterprise security news, Why is a consulting firm raising a $75M Series B? A TON of Cybereason drama just dropped Skybox Security shuts down after 23 years The chilling effect on security leaders is HERE, and what that means IT interest in on-prem, does NOT mean they're quitting the cloud Updates on the crazy Bybit heist the state of MacOS malware Skype is shutting down Mice with CRISPR'ed woolly mammoth fur is NOT the real life Jurassic Park anyone was expecting All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

In 2011, Marc Andreessen predicted that software would eat the world. Specifically, the prediction was that software companies would take over the economy and disrupt all industries. The economic prediction has mostly come true, with 9 out of 10 of the most highly valued companies being tech companies. The industry disruption didn't materialize in some cases, and outright failed in others. Healthcare seems to be one of these 'disruption-resistant' areas. Ed joins us today to discuss why that might be, and what the paths towards securing the healthcare industry might look like.

In this interview, we're excited to have Ilona Cohen to help us understand what changes this new US administration might bring, in terms of cybersecurity regulation. Ilona's insights come partially from her own experiences working from within the White House. Before she was the Chief Legal Officer of HackerOne, she was a senior lawyer to President Obama and served as General Counsel of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In this hyper-partisan environment, it's easy to get hung up on particular events. Do many of us lack cross-administration historical perspective? Probably. Should we be outraged by the disillusion of the CSRB, or was this a fairly ordinary occurrence when a new administration comes in? These are the kinds of questions I'll be posing to Ilona in this conversation. How the Change Healthcare breach can prompt real cybersecurity change 'Shift Left' feels like a cliché at this point, but it's often difficult to track tech and security movements if you aren't interacting with practitioners on a regular basis. Some areas of tech have a longer tail when it comes to late adopters and laggards, and application security appears to be one of these areas. In this interview, Jenn Gile catches us up on AppSec trends. Segment Resources: Microsoft Defender for Cloud Natively Integrates with Endor Labs 2024 Dependency Management Report How to pick the right SAST tool In the enterprise security news, Change Healthcare's HIPAA fine is vanishingly small How worried should we be about the threat of AI models? What about the threat of DeepSeek? And the threat of employees entering sensitive data into GenAI prompts? The myth of trillion-dollar cybercrime losses are alive and well! Kagi Privacy Pass gives you the best of both worlds: high quality web searches AND privacy/anonymity Thanks to the UK for letting everyone know about end-to-end encryption for iCloud!

We've got a few compelling topics to discuss within SecOps today. First, Tim insists it's possible to automate a large amount of SecOps work, without the use of generative AI. Not only that, but he intends to back it up by tracking the quality of this automated work with an ISO standard unknown to cybersecurity. I've often found useful lessons and wisdom outside security, so I get excited when someone borrows from another, more mature industry to help solve problems in cyber. In this case, we'll be talking about Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL), an ISO standard quality assurance framework that's never been used in cyber. Segment Resources: Introducing AQL for cyber. AQL - How we do it An AQL 'calculator' you can play around with We couldn't decide what to talk to Allie about, so we're going with a bit of everything. Don't worry - it's all related and ties together nicely. First, we'll discuss AI and automation in the SOC - Allie is covering this trend closely, and we want to know if she's seeing any results yet here. Next, we'll discover SecOps data management - the blood that delivers oxygen to the SOC muscles. Finally, we'll discuss MITRE's recent EDR evaluations - there was some contention around some vendors claiming to ace the test and we're going to get the tea on what's really going on here!

Celebrating and Elevating Women in Cyber: Recently, International Women in Cyber Day (September 1) highlighted the ongoing challenges women face in the cybersecurity field, as well as the progress made in recent years. Women bring exceptional skills and knowledge to cybersecurity; however, it is estimated that they make up only 20% to 25% of the cybersecurity workforce—a percentage that has remained stagnant for years. Even more concerning, women often hit a glass ceiling just six to ten years into their cybersecurity careers. Lynn Dohm sheds light on these issues and emphasizes what the industry needs to focus on to continue celebrating and elevating women in cyber. Segment Resources: 2023 State of Inclusion Benchmark in Cybersecurity 2024 Cyber Talent Study by N2K and WiCyS WiCyS Programs This week, we've added an extra news segment just on AI. Not because we wanted to, but because the news cycle has bludgeoned us into it. My mom is asking about Chinese AI, my neighbor wants to know why his stocks tanked, my clients want to know how to prevent their employees from using DeepSeek, it's a mess. First, a DeepSeek primer, so we can make sure all Enterprise Security Weekly listeners know what they need to know. Then we get into some other AI news stories. DeepSeek Primer I think the most interesting aspect of the DeepSeek announcements is the business/market impact, which isn't really security-related, but could have some impact on security teams. By introducing models that are cheaper to train, sell access to, and less demanding to run on systems, DeepSeek has opened up more market opportunities. That means we'll see generative AI used in markets and ways that didn't make sense before, because it was too expensive. Another aspect that's really confusing is what DeepSeek is or does. For the most part, when someone says "DeepSeek", they could be referring to: the company the open source models released by the company the SaaS service (https://chat.deepseek.com) the mobile app (which is effectively just a front end for #3) the API (which is what the mobile app and SaaS service are built on top of) From a security perspective, there's little to no operational risk around downloading and using the models, though they're likely to get banned, so companies could get in trouble for using them. As for the app, API, or SaaS service, assume everything you type into them is getting collected by China (so, significantly less safe, probably no US companies should do this). But because these services are crazy cheap right now, I wouldn't be surprised if some suppliers and third parties will start using DeepSeek - if your third party service provider is using DeepSeek behind the scenes with your data, you still have problem #2, so best to ensure they're not doing this through updated contract language and call to confirm that they're not currently doing it (can take a while to get a new contract in place).

HackerOne's co-founder, Michiel Prins walks us through the latest new offensive security service: AI red teaming. At the same time enterprises are globally trying to figure out how to QA and red team generative AI models like LLMs, early adopters are challenged to scale these tests. Crowdsourced bug bounty platforms are a natural place to turn for assistance with scaling this work, though, as we'll discuss on this episode, it is unlike anything bug hunters have ever tackled before. Segment Resources: https://www.hackerone.com/ai/snap-ai-red-teaming https://www.hackerone.com/thought-leadership/ai-safety-red-teaming This interview is a bit different from our norm.
