David Strom is my go-to guy for all things Networking and Security -- the two hottest topics for the last 20 years. He's also an alumni friend who ran Network Computing, eWeek and has contributed or led many other tech-oriented media products. Strom was coerced to join me for a chat on The Look Back and in return I feel obliged to mention his must-read bylines on @SiliconAngle -->  one of the sharpest perspectives on internet and security issues. 

Tony Uphoff has media instincts in his DNA -- as a child born into a media active family, Tony was destined to a world of publishing -- but at the helm of eWeek and InformationWeek and many other well known brands, and is not lending his experience and energy to Media/Research disruptor, @Acceleration Economy. Tony also led the turnaround and successful sale of Thomasnet.com to Xometry for $300M - just a blast to catch up with an alumni brother and someone I've always learned from and admired.

AWS re:Invent is happening this week in Las Vegas, and we have a fascinating piece of history courtesy of our guest​​ eWeek's James Maguire who shares an early video of an AWS rep from 2007/2008. Also, catch a quick clip of your co-host's car being broken into in Oakland. There's a lesson here for you. 

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series The web is awash with sites claiming they know what the security trends will be for 2022. All of them were filled with quotes from security experts at different vendors who "surprise" we're saying the big trend is what their product can fix. One publication, eWEEK, had probably the only logical set of trends and they look a lot like what happened in 2021. This week's episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Andy Ellis (@csoandy), operating partner, YL Ventures. Our sponsored guest is Ori Arbel, CTO, CYREBRO. Thanks to our podcast sponsor, CYREBRO Ninety percent of post mortems show that the high cost of damage from a cyberattack was avoidable, but no one knew in time to stop it.

This week, Corey Nachreiner, Chief Security Officer at WatchGuard, joins The Holtz Story to discuss data's role in ransomware. Corey is an authority on network security and an internationally quoted commentator. He is a regular contributor to leading publications including CNET, Dark Reading, eWeek, Help Net Security, Information Week, and Infosecurity, and delivers WatchGuard's "Daily Security Byte" video on Facebook.This episode opens with a discussion of ransomware and how it has evolved over time. Corey calls the early years of ransomware the shotgun period, where everyone was targeted and ransoms were small. Now, cybercriminals are taking more time to select their targets and are seeking bigger paydays. The conversation then shifts to budgets and strategic approaches of SMBs. Corey points out that we can achieve a lot in cybersecurity by implementing best practices with traditional tools, as well as the need to focus not only on blocking attacks but on the detection and remediation of threats. Tracy brings the conversation back to a broader security framework and Zero Trust. Corey points out Zero Trust is an evolution of the least privilege principle which has been around for a long time. It starts with identity, making sure we can validate the person is who they say they are, and then only letting the user do what they are permitted to do. This podcast ends with a discussion about why SMBs need MSSPs, and how MSPs are adapting to this need. Corey shares how we went from VARs to MSPs to MSSPs, and how blurred the role of the MSP has become in cybersecurity. This also includes a brief discussion on how M&A is shaping some of this change. We hope you enjoy the show.

She's the DiscoverE Director of Communications and Programs, that has a lot to do with all the activities that are going on in celebration of Engineering Week. Thea, welcome to Engineering Influence podcast.Thea: Thanks Alan. I'm really happy to be here.Host: Well I know this is a busy busy time for you. Is this like Christmas season for a DiscoverE?Thea: Oh, it sure is. It sure is. You know, you work year round, getting ready, getting all the materials, all the resources together, and then you kind of watch what everyone around the country does to be pioneers of progress and really engage kids and celebrate all the wonderful things that engineers are doing. One of my favorite things to do during Engineer's Week is to Google Engineer's Week 2020 (#eWeek2020) and just see everything that people are doing. It's really incredible.Host: Well, that's a very interesting because I think a lot of people don't realize that Engineering Week celebrations are throughout the next year.Thea: You're right.Host: We're at the beginning and and we've got a whole week worth of activities planned. What so how things are going so far?Thea: Things are going great. You know, across the country on engineering universities at college campuses, their celebrations lots of small and medium sized engineering firms are going out there, volunteering with their local schools. Some of our larger corporations are doing multiple events around the country, but it's really individuals out there, people who say, you know, this week I'm going to go into my kids' school, or this week I'm gonna work and find an organization that I can partner with. And you know, while we call it Engineer's Week, it's really a 365 year round mindset of, you know, just taking a moment, volunteering, going out there, talking to a child about what engineering is. Cause sometimes we forget that you know, us an engineering community, we know a lot of engineers. We know what engineers do. Most Americans don't know what engineers or technicians do. They've never met one. They don't run across them in their daily lives. So and we know that role modeling and telling kids what's involved in engineering is one of the first and best ways to engage kids and get them excited.Host: Well, we have, you know, ACEC represents more than 5,200 individual engineering firms throughout the nation. And it's always a pleasure to just see all the activities that our member firms are engaged in. And I remember organizations to celebrate the the importance of, of engineers and engineering overall. So tell me a little bit about yourself. How long have you been involved with the discovery?Thea: I've been involved with DiscoverE for nine years. But before that, I mean, I've been an employee of discovery for nine years, but I've been an Engineer's Week volunteer and advocate for the last 20 years. I was at a PBS station in Boston and we created Design Squad and Engineer Your Life. So I've been working to engage kids in engineering for a long time. And yeah, and what I like about it is we really think that engineering is the gateway to math and science. You know, that that's that hands on problem solving you get the kids hooked that way and then all of a sudden they're going to be like, Oh, if I know math and science, if I know those concepts, then my, you know, my catapult or my lever or whatever they're working on or whatever problem they're trying to solve, they'll go and look for the science and then it becomes real. And then, you know, engineers and engineering can really answer that "so what" question for kids?Host: Well it sounds like, you know, these programs also help take the fear of mathematics out of the equation and brings it back to a more realistic, a realistic plane for, for kids who are curious and wondering what to do and how things work. I was scared to death of math coming through school, so that's why I went into words. I can handle words, but math is kinda hard. Well, I know we had we, you know, in, in DC we, we had the big future cities competition yesterday and we got a lot of pictures and some story for that for our blog. Tell me what else is, what are the other big highlights that are coming up through the end of the week, both here and throughout the nation that you guys are focuses on?Thea: Right, right. Yes. So future cities, our competition for middle school students where we ask them to design and build a city of the future. With 45,000 students from around the world participate and we crowned the world champions yesterday and they're from Indiana, which is very exciting. So that was great. So a big shout out to them and their hard work. And then tomorrow, Thursday the 20th, is introduce a girl to engineering day. So that's a time during seven days to really focus in on girls who may not know about engineering or be engaged in engineering. And you know, we've turned a lot of attention to this area, but there's still a lot of work to be done to kind of bring more girls into the fold. And so we released a report back in December called despite the odds where we looked at why girls choose STEM and why women stay in the field.Thea: You know, we know all the reasons why they leave, but we were like, what can we learn from why they stay? And what we've found is the importance of role models. You know, volunteers going out there talking to kids, doing hands on engineering activities and, and telling them what engineering is, how engineers solve problems, what those problems are, you know, what are the kinds of fascinating things all of your members and their employees are working on. That's, you know, and there's no magic bullet, right? It's just really getting out there and, and doing the outreach. We know the formula. We just need more people to be doing it. And that's what we love so much about ACEC and your members is that they're so close to their local communities that they're doing that work. And we just want to give a big shout out to everyone and say thank you and keep on keeping on.Host: Oh, excellent. Excellent. That will bring a smile to a lot of people's faces. And just on a personal note, I've been at ACEC for 17 years and I've been going to you know, the national meetings, the fall conferences and the annual convention twice a year. And I've noticed a difference just in, for example, we would get 800 to a thousand attendees at these conferences and it would be rare back in, you know, 15 years ago, it'd be kind of rare to see a woman engineer. Everybody would notice. It's not rare, it's not rare anymore. And you know, just to dovetail on that, we give numerous scholarships out to engineering students to help them finish and proceed in their educations. And I had noticed that over the years you know, five out of, you know, six out of 10 scholarships that we give out, we'e going to women, we're going to women students. So I think your messages and your your efforts are paying off - women are engineers and it's not a rare thing anymore. And I'm old enough to be able to realize that. So kudos to everybody at DiscoverE. So tell me what does discovery really want to accomplish? What's the overall mission of your organization?Thea: So we have a dual mission of celebrating engineers and you know, really elevating the field. And, and giving a big, you know, making sure that the world, just how much engineers contribute to, to our way of life and making the world a safer, stronger, better place. Right. That's, you know the work that engineers do is just, is mission critical and it is awesome. And then our second our, our second piece of that pie is really encouraging kids to investigate and explore engineering. We know not every child is going to become an engineer, no one wants that. But if we could give kids the, the tools, the engineering design process, project management, if they take those skillsets, any career, imagine how effective they could be just to kind of break down large problems into bite sized chunks and tackle them and solve them. And, and, and, and bring that kind of mindset. I think would be wonderful. And our big audacious goal is that every child around the world, every year has an engineering experience. You know, cause so many kids just don't know that it exists or it's even a possibility or that they have, you know, that they have the chops for it.Host: Or the role that engineers play in practically everything that goes on. So.Thea: Exactly.Host: So really incredible and worthy, worthy endeavor for sure. You said you'd been there for discovery as you know, working on staff and then, but you said you had volunteered before. What changes have you seen in what DiscoverE offers and, and tries to accomplish over the years? And how have you seen that reflect on the results and the reaction to your efforts?Thea: Sure. I think, you know like all good engineering organizations has been an iterative learning process, right? Try something or put it out there, what works, how can we make it better? How can we make it better? And we look at the evolution of the resources that we offer the training that we offer. We're continually saying, okay, you know, what's resonating with the kids, what messages can we share? What hands on activities can we share, what's working? And then just, you know, constantly improve the resources and the delivery mechanisms that we have, you know, as technology changes, can we take advantage of of community, you know, ways to communicate to reach more students. You know, if you're in a rural area, can we try a webinar, you know, a webcast bringing on an engineer right into your classroom electronically.Thea: So I think, you know, we're always willing to try new things. And I think that the volunteers out there working with kids are a lot more, and sophisticated is not quite the right word, but they've been doing it a long time. They know what works. And so it's really listening to all our wonderful volunteers out there and responding to what they're asking for, what resources they need. You know, cause we can't, we're a tiny staff of six people. So how do we support the work of 50,000 volunteers out there reaching a million kids? So I think that's just kind of our constant thinking is, what do you guys need? What do you gals need and how can we help you?Host: Yeah. Well, you know, I think one of the one of the benefits also that I had discovered when, when preparing communications for the upcoming Engineers Week I went to the DiscoverE website and, and you guys provide all kinds of ideas and, and, and, and pointers for activities to further on your mission that I believe a lot of our member firms who, and I've talked to a few, they want to do something but they just don't know quite what to do. What's the best way to go about it? I think going to your website would be would be a great thought starter on PRI trying to, you know, basically pitch in and do our part as an industry.Thea: Well definitely we have a right on our homepage. You can download the ultimate how to guide. In four pages it outlines for you what you can do to engage a child in engineering. And there's really simple steps and then it takes you to all the other resources. But we have an extensive library of activities. We have an extensive library of how, you know, messages that you can share with kids. And like some people are like, I don't even know how to reach out to my school. I have a cheat sheet of what you can say and, and and who you should ask for when you call the school. So, you know, how do you arrange a classroom visit? So, and then videos of engineers. And then we have an extensive section on engineering careers, so you can send kids who might be interested in engineering to our website. So it's all there. DiscoverE with an E dot org. I hope folks will visit usHost: I'm pretty sure they will. I know you're very busy lady. You getting ready to head back to Boston. So good luck to you. Thank you for sharing a few minutes with us this morning. And good luck to the entire, for the rest of the week of all the activities you guys have your hands on and we'll see you again next time.Thea: Yeah, thank you and thanks to all the pioneers of progress out there, all of your engineers, your technicians who are, who are, you know, doing such great work to make my life easier and safer. I really appreciate it.Host: Okay, thanks Thea and have a good day and we'll see you on the next one. Enjoy.Thea: Okay. Bye. Bye.Host: Once again, that was Thea Sahr, Director of Communications for DiscoverE, which basically coordinates all the eWeek and Engineering Week activities that just don't occur once a week. There are ongoing throughout the year program and activities and knowledge and awareness and seminars and they obviously do an excellent job. So thank you for joining us today. My name is Alan Crockett, once again, Director of Member Communications and we'll see you on the next side. Enjoy.

Join the conversation on LinkedIn On this episode How CISOs are digesting the latest security news Wayne Rash of eWEEK wrote a piece on what to expect in cybersecurity in 2019. Most of the stuff is more of the same, such as nation state attacks, ransomware, phishing, and assume you're going to get attacked. But, he did bring up some issues that don't get nearly as much discussion. One was cryptomining which is hijacking your cloud instances, encrypting ALL data, moving away from usernames/passwords, and getting a third-party audit. So what's on CISOs' radar in 2019 Why is everybody talking about this now? Dutch Schwartz of Forcepoint brought up the issue of collaboration. This is not a new topic and we all know that if we don't share information the attackers who do share information will always have leverage. There are obvious privacy and competitive reasons why companies don't share information, but I proposed that if the industry believes collaboration is so important, then it should be a requirement (think GDPR) or we should build incentives (think energy incentives) with a time limit. Is this the right approach? Is the collaboration we're doing already enough? What's Worse?! We play yet another round on an issue that really annoys my co-host. What's a CISO to do? Thom Langford, CISO of Publicis Groupe, said that cybersecurity should be seen as a long term campaign. And if you keep at it, you will see results. Think anti-smoking or seat belt campaigns. Yet we see more and more companies treating security as a one-off project and not looking at dealing with it in the long term. Could this be more a problem of how we view security in the media? Ask a CISO Brijesh Singh, Inspector General of Police, Cyber at Government of Maharashtra said, "A young student asked me a very basic question, isn’t Cybersecurity just a branch of IT? Why should it be treated separately?" It's an awesome question that resulted in a flurry of responses. Is there a difference? Got feedback? Join the conversation on LinkedIn

Marshall Kuypers is a PhD candidate in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, concentrating in Risk Analysis. His research studies quantitative models to assess cyber security risk in organizations. I heard Marshall talk at a major IT Security conference and after listening to him, I knew that I had to get him on the show to share his expertise. Marshall continues a theme that I have been harping on recently which is for you to deepen your sophistication of communicating at the highest level in your organization about Cyber Risk and investments that you want your company to mitigate against. For some of you this discussion will be re-enforcement of concepts and ideas that you already know but need to be reminded of. For others, Marshall will bring a fresh approach to you to test with your CFO, CEO or Board. The more effective you can be with communicating to your horizontal peers and upstream reports the better you can fulfill your mission within your company. Major take aways from this episode are: 1. A Practical and actionable discussion regarding Risk Analysis for Cyber Security 2. How Develop situational awareness for making better IT Security Investment Decisions 3. How to look at your internal security event data in a different way (no not your log data) to support IT Security investment. 4. How to validate or eliminate intuition from assessing probability of IT Security events happening. 5. How to eliminate recency bias from IT Security decisions (Fear and uncertainty cranked by media). 6. We also discuss power laws and complex systems theory which is fun as well. I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Marshall's presentation and research. About Marshall Marshall Kuypers is a PhD candidate in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, concentrating in Risk Analysis. His research studies quantitative models to assess cyber security risk in organizations. Marshall has a diverse background spanning many fields, including modeling cyber security, developing trading algorithms with a high frequency trading company, researching superconducting materials at UIUC, and modeling economic and healthcare systems with the Complex Adaptive Systems of Systems (CASoS) engineering group at Sandia National Labs.

Slides here: https://defcon.org/images/defcon-22/dc-22-presentations/Cerrudo/DEFCON-22-Cesar-Cerrudo-Hacking-Traffic-Control-Systems-UPDATED.pdf Hacking US (and UK, Australia, France, etc.) traffic control systems Cesar Cerrudo CTO, IOACTIVE LABS Probably many of us have seen that scene from "Live Free or Die Hard" (Die Hard 4) were the "terrorist hackers" manipulate traffic signals by just hitting Enter key or typing a few keys, I wanted to do that! so I started to look around and of course I couldn't get to do the same, that's too Hollywood style! but I got pretty close. I found some interesting devices used by traffic control systems on important cities such as Washington DC, Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc. and I could hack them :) I also found that these devices are also used in cities from UK, France, Australia, China, etc. making them even more interesting. This presentation will tell the whole story from how the devices were acquired, the research, on site testing demos (at Seattle, New York and Washington DC), vulnerabilities found and how they can be exploited, and finally some possible NSA style attacks (or should I say cyberwar style attacks?) Oh, I almost forgot, after this presentation anyone will be able to hack these devices and mess traffic control systems since there is no patch available (sorry didn't want to say 0day ;)) I hope that after this I still be allowed to enter (or leave?) the US Cesar Cerrudo is CTO at IOActive Labs where he leads the team in producing ongoing cutting edge research in the areas of SCADA, mobile device, application security and more. Formerly the founder and CEO of Argeniss Consulting, acquired by IOActive, Cesar is a world renown security researcher and specialist in application security.

"The use of phishing/cross-site scripting (XSS) hybrid attacks for financial gain is spreading. It?s imperative that security professionals familiarize themselves with these new threats to protect their websites and confidential corporate information. This isn't just another presentation about phishing scams or cross-site scripting. We?re all very familiar with each of those issues. Instead, we?ll discuss the potential impact when the two are combined to form new attack techniques. Phishers are beginning to exploit these techniques, creating new phishing attacks that are virtually impervious to conventional security measures. Secure sockets layer (SSL), blacklists, token-based authentication, browser same-origin policy, and monitoring / take-down services offer little protection. Even eyeballing the authenticity of a URL is unlikely to help. By leveraging cross-site scripting, the next level of phishing scams will be launched not from look-alike web pages, but instead from legitimate websites! This presentation will demonstrate how these types of attacks are being achieved. We'll also demonstrate the cutting edge exploits that can effectively turn your browser into spyware with several lines of JavaScript. And, we'll give you the steps you need to take to protect your websites from these attacks.

Xandros, a Linux variant, is challenging Microsoft in the marketplace with an attempt to grab some of the 50 million people who are still using Windows 95, 98, and Me. Eweek magazine this week looked back at 25 years of personal computing. Nerdly News considers annoyances in the latest patch for Firefox and looks into the spambox.

The use of phishing/cross-site scripting hybrid attacks for financial gain is spreading. It's imperative that security professionals familiarize themselves with these new threats to protect their websites and confidential corporate information. This isn't just another presentation about phishing scams or cross-site scripting. We're all very familiar with each of those issues. Instead, we'll discuss the potential impact when the two are combined to form new attack techniques. Phishers are beginning to exploit these techniques, creating new phishing attacks that are virtually impervious to conventional security measures. Secure sockets layer (SSL), blacklists, token-based authentication, browser same-origin policy, and monitoring / take-down services offer little protection. Even eyeballing the authenticity of a URL is unlikely to help. By leveraging cross-site scripting, the next level of phishing scams will be launched not from look-alike web pages, but instead from legitimate websites! This presentation will demonstrate how these types of attacks are being achieved. We'll also demonstrate the cutting edge exploits that can effectively turn your browser into spyware with several lines of JavaScript.

Imagine you’re visiting a popular website and invisible JavaScript exploit code steals your cookies, captures your keystrokes, and monitors every web page that you visit. Then, without your knowledge or consent, your web browser is silently hijacked to transfer out bank funds, hack other websites, or post derogatory comments in a public forum. No traces, no tracks, no warning sirens. In 2005’s "Phishing with Superbait" presentation we demonstrated that all these things were in fact possible using nothing more than some clever JavaScript. And as bad as things are already, further web application security research is revealing that outsiders can also use these hijacked browsers to exploit intranet websites. Most of us assume while surfing the Web that we are protected by firewalls and isolated through private NAT'ed IP addresses. We assume the soft security of intranet websites and that the Web-based interfaces of routers, firewalls, printers, IP phones, payroll systems, etc. even if left unpatched, remain safe inside the protected zone. We believe nothing is capable of directly connecting in from the outside world. Right? Well, not quite. Web browsers can be completely controlled by any web page, enabling them to become launching points to attack internal network resources. The web browser of every user on an enterprise network becomes a stepping stone for intruders. Now, imagine visiting a web page that contains JavaScript malware that automatically reconfigures your company’s routers or firewalls, from the inside, opening the internal network up to the whole world. Even worse, common Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities make it possible for these attacks to be launched from just about any website we visit and especially those we trust. The age of web application security malware has begun and it’s critical that understand what it is and how to defend against it. During this presentation we'll demonstrate a wide variety of cutting-edge web application security attack techniques and describe bestpractices for securing websites and users against these threats. You’ll see: * Port scanning and attacking intranet devices using JavaScript * Blind web server fingerprinting using unique URLs * Discovery NAT'ed IP addresses with Java Applets * Stealing web browser history with Cascading Style Sheets * Best-practice defense measures for securing websites * Essential habits for safe web surfing Jeremiah Grossman is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of WhiteHat Security (http://www.whitehatsec.com), where he is responsible for web application security R&D and industry evangelism.
