Our guest in this episode is Jon Gelsey. Jon was the first CEO of Auth0, a leading identity-as-a-service platform, which grew from 5 to 300 employees during his four years at the helm. Auth0 was acquired by Okta in February 2021 for $6.5B. After Auth0, Jon served as CEO of Xnor, a computer vision and machine learning spinoff of the Allen Institute. The company was acquired by Apple for ~$200M in January 2020. When Auth0 first started in 2013, there were already several authentication vendors in the market. Okta, ForgeRock, and OneLogin had all built considerable scale by the time Auth0 launched its product. Not only did Jon and the team build a successful company in a very crowded space, but they also did it their way. While all of Auth0's competitors were running a top-down GTM motion, Jon made a critical decision to adopt a bottom-up, product-led growth (PLG) strategy. Instead of relying on traditional marketing tactics for demand generation, Auth0 built an extensive content rollout plan to help drive inbound interest in the product. To date, Auth0 is the only PLG company in cybersecurity to achieve a multi-billion dollar exit. On Inside the Network, Jon talks about building go-to-market strategies, identifying the right buyer personas, and establishing success metrics for customer acquisition.  In addition to his experience as a serial entrepreneur, Jon worked on the M&A and strategy team at Microsoft from 2007 to 2014 where he led several acquisitions for the company. Jon shares the tips and tricks founders need to know to plan, negotiate, and successfully close acquisitions with potential buyers.

Welcome to another illuminating episode of Tech Talks Daily Podcast. I sit down with Fran Rosch, the visionary CEO of ForgeRock, a global leader in digital identity management. With a radical transformation on the horizon, Fran sheds light on the pressing challenges and monumental opportunities in enterprise identification management. Having previously been at the helm of Symantec's $2B+ Consumer Digital Safety segment, Fran brings two decades of rich industry experience to the table. In this episode, Fran takes listeners through a historical overview of how authentication has evolved over the past 20 years, punctuating the narrative with intriguing insights. Has technology really moved the needle, or are we stuck in a quagmire of incremental advancements? With solutions like self-service options and biometrics, Fran argues we're on the cusp of a passwordless future. But is the industry ready for it? Are we, as users, prepared for such a monumental shift? As we delve deeper into the realm of identity management, we discuss the far-reaching challenges and opportunities for organizations and governments in an ever-connected world. With identities numbering in the millions, perhaps billions, Fran casts a lens on the complexities of scale, specifically in the context of AI and IoT. We then explore why, despite notable technological advances, flawed passwords continue to be the Achilles heel of digital identity management. Is it inertia, or is it a complex web of technological, social, and economic factors? Fran paints a vivid picture of the challenges surrounding technology adoption and change management, especially when it comes to passwordless authentication. He emphasizes the urgency for companies to transition to new identity solutions—not just to stay competitive, but also to improve user experiences, both for consumers and within the enterprise. This episode is a must-listen for anyone intrigued by the future of digital identity, AI, and the ever-evolving technological landscape. From C-suite executives to tech enthusiasts, there are actionable insights and thought-provoking discussions that promise to keep you engaged from start to finish. Tune in and prepare to rethink what you know about passwords and digital identity.

Covid forced federal organizations to move to the cloud. Federal leaders discovered a confusing world of multi-clouds, public cloud, private cloud, and even hybrid cloud. We have even seen federal systems using cloud tools to manage premises applications and data. There is one constant variable:  an organization must be able to identify users. Years before Covid, this was a small, isolated field of knowledge. However, the complex nature of the cloud has forced system administrators to gain an understanding of the identity ecosystem.  One crucial aspect of that ecosystem is identity management. Companies have had to adapt to the demands that include scalability, user experience improvement, and rapidly changing security compliance requirements. This is an interview with Tommy Cathey from ForgeRock. He has deep knowledge of the whole identity management lifecycle and carefully explains to listeners the many aspects of identity. He gives a clear and cogent explanation of governance, access management, identity proofing, and even point access management. One way to gain a better grasp of this field is to read the recent called ForgeRock Identity Breach Report. Combine this with the detailed federal section of the ForgeRock website, you will get a handle on complex terms like decentralized identity and federated identity.

This week, we discuss fundings, acquisitions (TWO DSPM exits!), the ongoing market downturn/weirdness, and surprise - LLM-based AIs! We spend a fair amount of time talking about the importance of breach transparency - we need to be able to learn from others' failures to improve our own defenses. We also discuss the inevitable 'One App To Rule them All' that will serve as an all-knowing personal assistant. It will integrate with all our comms, calendars, and notes, which will be scary and fraught with privacy and security issues. But Tyler and Adrian still yearn for it, as their pre-frontal cortexes become increasingly dulled by scotch and beer.   Enterprises are struggling to manage and reduce their organizational attack surface, especially with a shortage of skilled staff.

As businesses increase their digital estate, insider theft poses an increasingly large risk. Whether it's through malicious parties gaining access to crucial systems and data or employees stealing information to which they should never have had access, firms should be considering these scenarios carefully.This has been exacerbated by the economic climate, with layoffs and a greater reliance on third-party individuals leading to a lack of oversight and cohesion when it comes to access management.

While the impact of successful mentorship has been proven in a multitude of ways, there is still the fear that participants could be mismatched or that a mentor's time might be wasted. Concerns that the relationship will be short-lived or even fail can also get in the way of tremendous results. Today's guest asks us to consider using intention and purpose to guide these relationships. Please join us in welcoming Tschudy Smith, Chief People Officer at ForgeRock, to share her perspective on purpose-driven mentorship. Tuning in, you'll learn some of the characteristics of great leaders, why Tschudy believes we have to be more intentional than ever about who we bring into our network, and how to set outcomes and objectives before entering into a mentorship relationship. We also touch on the importance of empathy, the fundamental differences between a sponsor and a mentor, and the role that places and culture play for CPOs in a post-pandemic world, plus so much more.   Key Points From This Episode:   Insight into Tschudy's background and how she ended up in her current role at ForgeRock. How she came to understand the role that empathy plays in a leadership role. The value of mentorship and why Tschudy believes we have to be more intentional than ever about who we have in our network. A purposeful, outcomes-driven approach to inviting a mentor or a sponsor to work with you. Measuring the success of a mentor/mentee relationship against those initial objectives. An understanding of the differences between a mentor and a sponsor. Characteristics of a great leader, from transparent dialogue to advocating on behalf of others. Why the role of a sponsor is such a complicated one in today's highly matrixed organizations. How Tschudy conceived of the role of Chief People Officer (CPO) and her approach to it. Why today's leadership is about more than to-do lists and agendas; it's about people. The role that places and culture play for CPOs in a post-pandemic world. Tschudy elaborates on some of the ‘non-negotiables' for CPOs today. How Tschudy decided that CPO was the right role for her and how it aligned with her goals.   Tweetables:   “Some of those formal or informal engagements we might have expected to have are fewer and [farther] between, [so] we have to be even more intentional about who we have in our network that is there to support us, to guide us, and to give us some coaching and insight.” — Tschudy Smith [0:06:22]   “I feel like it's important to pay it forward and, I'll tell you, when you can play the role of mentor, you also learn.” — Tschudy Smith [0:07:32]   “The idea of a sponsor is to have somebody who advocates on your behalf, who is in those rooms, who is in those conversations, and who actually [thinks] about you when you're not there.” — Tschudy Smith [0:15:07]   “This is 22nd-century leadership. It isn't just about managing a to-do list. It isn't just about showing up to run an agenda for a team meeting. It's getting proximate, caring for your people, seeing them at their best, and figuring out how you can help them do more of that.” — Tschudy Smith [0:22:22]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:   Tschudy Smith on LinkedIn ForgeRock Talk Talent to Me Hired

Mary Writz, Vice President of Product Strategy at ForgeRock, shares how each career path she has taken has led her to where she is now. Mary describes how she has been a woman working in a male dominated field for most of her career and how she had to take charge, and she had to get the men to take charge with her. She says "I was often leading people, mostly men older than me, potentially smarter than me, more well paid than me. So I had to learn how to think about galvanizing this group to charge forward with me, even though I was a bit of a minority in that way." She also states that she tells herself to always make a positive out of a negative by showing people how you can respond to what's happening with a lot of energy, focus, and care and that's what got her to where she is today.

Identity management issues are difficult for enterprise companies and for consumers. According to Javelin's 2021 Identity Fraud Study, there was 43 billion dollars worth of identity fraud scams in 2020. Small business owners to c-suite execs are all looking for the answer to security and simplicity, especially in the face of the enemies — bad actors and security systems that are too complicated to use. Everyone wants an answer, but perhaps the first step to a solution is for an identity management company to engage in an ongoing process of active listening.On this episode of Business X factors, Fran Rosch, the CEO of ForgeRock, shares how ForgeRock, under his leadership, has developed a perpetual process to innovate toward solutions where customers do not have to compromise user experience or security. He reveals how this process includes listening, making decisions and then acting accordingly. Fran also chats about how ForgeRock does more than loftily talk about creativity; instead, it invests in the creative process, including ensuring its people are truly able to be creative. Main Takeaways: A Perpetual Refining Process: When Rosch joined ForgeRock, he initiated “Project Rocket,” which was a process to activate change in the company. The process involved listening, making determinations, and then acting on them. The lesson here is not that a new CEO had an initial strategy in order to provide a jolt to a company. Instead, it is that “Project Rocket” has morphed into an ongoing process for ForgeRock's self-reflection and improvement.  Think About Creative Investment: Many companies talk a good game about establishing a creative environment, but some don't back up these words with actions. Rosch contends that creativity must be something that is actually invested in. Additionally, according to Rosch, supporting creativity is about setting up a culture where people are being listened to and helpful questions are also being asked.Diversity Is Key: Diversifying a workforce is imperative for a healthy culture and company, and there are many ways to consider diversity. Rosch speaks about fostering a “diversity of ideas,” and this includes gathering a team from many different backgrounds and experiences. He mentions that this sort of diversity is about getting ”creative ideas on the table.” Diversity and creativity are interconnected and they must both be considered in that manner.---Business X factors is produced by Mission.org and brought to you by Hyland. For over a decade, Hyland has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms, leading the way to help people get the information they need when and where they need it.

Most recently, his focus has been on cybersecurity, helping build a cybersecurity consulting practice for Microsoft and then leading security teams for companies such as Amazon, Sonos, and CenturyLink.On today's show we talk with Steve White, Field CISO for Pivotal, where he gets to regularly exercise his passion for working at the intersection of application security, development, infrastructure, and operations. Steve spends his time helping organizations envision and implement new ways of integrating security into their software development, deployment, and operations life cycle. Most recently, his focus has been on cybersecurity, helping build a cybersecurity consulting practice for Microsoft and then leading security teams for companies such as Amazon, Sonos, and CenturyLink. Prior to joining Pivotal, Steve was the Chief Security Officer at ForgeRock. In this episode we are going to get a broader perspective from Steve on digital transformation within organizations. We also hear from Steve why he recommends making small incremental changes, we discuss the idea of a security champion, as well as the best practices for helping developers understand the importance of cybersecurity work. Finally, Steve shares more about how to recognize when organizations are having challenges with digital transformation, and why it is key to focus only on the actual threats and not the imaginary ones. So don't miss out on today's enlightening conversation with Steve White of Pivotal.Transcript[00:01:32] Guy Podjarny: Hello, everyone. Welcome back to The Secure Developer. Today, we're going to get a bit of a broader market perspective here from someone who works with a lot of security and development through the years across the enterprise, and that is Steve White who is a Field CISO at VMware.Steve, welcome to the show. Thanks for coming on.[00:01:49] Steve White: Thanks, Guy. Thanks for having me.[00:01:50] Guy Podjarny: Steve, we're going to go broad in a sec. But before we do that, tell us a little bit about yourself and your path to where you are today.[00:01:58] Steve White: Absolutely. Well, the first thing I'll say about my path was, like many, it was accidental in a lot of cases. I started my career really honestly back before security was even a profession, the early security practitioners. We were sys admins and network admins and the people running the systems. We didn't have things like firewalls and we didn't have things like anti-malware software. We kind of invented this space, trying to protect our systems. The first firewall I ever used was a bit of software running on a Sun server.Fast-forward a career from there, I learned to really appreciate all facets of security during those early years. I moved into some application development roles. Ultimately, senior tech leader role and then moved into security full-time, trying to help build up a security consulting practice for Microsoft. Then from there, I've held a number of internal security roles at places like Amazon, CenturyLink Cloud, and Sonos. Then I was the Chief Security Officer at ForgeRock. Now, I'm a Field CISO at Pivotal VMware and spend my time really focusing on how can I best help organizations think through and strategize around this transformation into cloud native. How do we take what had become traditional enterprise security mechanisms and methods, and how do these change based on sort of this move to interesting things like containers and microservices and agile development? That's why I spend my time thinking about and looking at today.[00:03:35] Guy Podjarny: Who do you typically work with? Who's the peer in the companies you work with or maybe the profile of the companies?[00:03:42] Steve White: It has to be the larger global enterprises, so those companies who are primarily going through digital transformations. Companies who are writing a lot of their own custom code that they derive significant business value from, and they're working to transform how they write that code from sort of the traditional monolithic waterfall method into now the microservice-oriented cloud native 12- factor apps, right? As those companies who are making that transformation because it brings business value to them.I'm working primarily with their security leadership and security engineering and architecture organizations.[00:04:29] Guy Podjarny: Within those organizations, within the enterprises that you work with, who is the sort of typical profile or role of a person who works with you on sort of understanding the security concerns? Is it more the CTO? There's more security mind role. [00:04:44] Steve White: It's definitely the security organizations. I have a number of peers that I work with who spend more time on the application development organization side of things. I focus almost exclusively on the security organization, so I spend my time talking primarily with CISOs, with director of information security, or sort of the leadership in engineering security architecture kinds of spaces. I spend much of my time there.Lately, I have been doing some more detailed hands-on security workshops with I would say representatives sort of from every security discipline in the company, so security operations, incident response, architecture and engineering. We'll bring them all together in a room for a day and work through some of the implications of what cloud native security really means in each of those parts of the security team.[00:05:36] Guy Podjarny: Thanks for that. It's sort of the context.[00:05:37] Steve White: Yup.[00:05:37] Guy Podjarny: Just to dive right into it, like you're helping these organizations kind of keep security or level up even security as they do this sort of digital transformation and embrace all of these exciting new technologies. What do you see as kind of the pillars or the core tenets of change that they need to do?[00:05:55] Steve White: Well, it starts with – The first tenet of change in this space is that it's not just a technology change, although there is some technology shift that needs to happen. It's a culture and a perspective change that ultimately is the larger piece of what's to happen in information security, like it has happened in the rest of the business, right? We liken it to this change from security historically perhaps was perceived as providing perhaps gates, and you had to pass through the security gate to get to production or something like that.The phrase I like to use is we're moving from gates to guardrails, right? So security's function in the enterprise moving forward should be to provide these – They're like the safety net, right? There's a top and bottom guard rail that would protect you from sort of exceeding really bad parameters but within those guardrails. Development teams, operations teams have the flexibility to move around, to fluctuate, to flex, and to experiment frankly with what they need to do. That's one big topic. It's just that it's that cultural shift, that mindset.When you start to peel that back, how do you think about these culture changes, it really honestly comes down to – From my experience, it's the idea of pairing, right? The key differentiator I believe these days in helping security transform into this kind of cloud native organization is pairing them with developers from application development teams and vice versa, right?Let's expand our knowledge, let's expand our relationships, and let's expand our understanding of how this work impacts the business. I think that's like one of the really key factors.There's a whole lot of technology that comes with that culture change too. "But without the culture and perspective change, all the technology in the world isn't going to make a difference."[00:07:55] Guy Podjarny: I've got like a whole like a series of questions now to just ask based on that aspect. I'll start with that pairing comment. Pairing is a bit of a loaded term in the world of development you talked about sort of in those three program in pairing. When you talk about pairing developers and security people, are you literally talking about like two people watching the same screen and work together or pairing them to like a team?[00:08:15] Steve White: In an ideal world. Yeah, both in an ideal world. So I am ingrained in the Pivotal culture. I know you're familiar with Pivotal and what we created, right? Pivotal is very big on extreme programming and pair programming and test-driven development and all of the things that go with that. I'm here because I believe pretty strongly in the value of those things, but not every enterprise is there, right? Not every application development organization, for example, sees pair programming the same way.When I speak of pairing, I would love to see it be in the true sense of paired programming where two heads sitting in front of one screen, working on solving one problem together. If one of those folks is a security engineer and one of them is a feature developer, they're both learning a lot and adding a good chunk to the conversation. That doesn't necessarily work for every organization. If you're not an organization where pairing is a particular practice that you use, then you go along the line of things like rotations, right? Take a security engineer out of security. Put them into a feature development team for 90 days or let them be a part of that team and participate at whatever level they can and write code at whatever level they can and vice versa, right? Take a feature developer. Embed them in the security organization for 90 days or 180 days, whatever you can do.Pairing can look like a lot of different things depending on the what's appropriate to that enterprise. But it's pairing these folks who would not necessarily have been working together side-by-side. Give them common shared goals and outcomes for a period of time and let them learn from each other, right? That connectedness in that relationship I think is a really important part of that.[00:10:03] Guy Podjarny: I love the analogy to sort of extreme programming pairings. I think organizational pairing, that makes a lot of sense to me as well. That visual of sort of working together is beautiful one for the cases where that works.[00:10:14] Steve White: It is.[00:10:16] Guy Podjarny: Unpacking another piece that you said over there was this notion of guardrails. I'm a firm believer, right? Guardrails, you basically want to say, basically paint out the extremes about general paths kind of between past those elements. How do you help developers go make the right decisions in-between the guardrails? There's still a range of security and decisions that you make.[00:10:36] Steve White: That's right, yes. This is another key thing I think that's enabled by this idea of cross team sharing that I described, and that's in the modern sort of cloud native security organization. I say a good chunk of time used to be spent writing tools, writing code that the rest of the organization can adopt. Whether those tools be things like – Whether those are code blocks that enforce identity, authentication, and authorization in a particular way for the languages used by your company, right? That's one idea. There's a lot of other ways that security teams can write code, and that's typically in the realm of either reusable objects that developers can embed in their project and use or it's in the realm of tools that help them integrate their methods and their procedures better with the tools that exist in the rest of the organization, where having security focused on writing code in those spaces I think pays big dividends in that question. How do you help developers navigate the guardrails ? You give them tools to do that. The security organization should spend a good chunk of its time creating tools and listening to the developers and making them better, so those tools better fit how the developers do their work.[00:11:57] Guy Podjarny: Yeah, for sure. I guess when you work, like you work with secure organizations that might not have had that approach before they started. I imagine like many times they're not necessarily like the skills in the team without necessarily letting themselves doing such so coding activities. How do you see or maybe how do you guide organizations to sort of navigate that expansion or transition of skills? Actually, if you have any opinions on which skills can they actually invest less in as we move to this world?[00:12:29] Steve White: Yeah. I'll maybe start with the first part of that question. I absolutely have thoughts on that. Everything goes back to agile. It's about incremental change. The first thing I would speak to organizations making that transition is don't try to do the whole thing at once, right? Pick a particular area where you can make an impact, and you don't want it to be a low, quiet, non-visible area. Some people try to do incremental change. They'll pick this little quiet part of the business that doesn't have a lot of visibility and impact. That's actually not the right way.The right way is to pick a small piece of what you do that has lots of visibility, lots of impact and make a change there, right? Pick a marquee application that's being developed and have one of your security engineers working with that team or vice versa. Pick a particular problem area. So if you do a survey across your development organizations, if there's a particular problem let's say with how SQL authentication has happened with backend databases, that's visible and it often will cause security vulnerability alarms. So pick that one problem, and now go and write some code to solve for that problem.If you don't have any folks in the security organization who are developers, borrow some. This is back to that pairing idea. Bring a couple in from the application development organization and have them help you write tools that they and their peers would want to use, right? But do it in a paired programming model. So even if you're not big on paired programming, in this scenario bring one of your security engineers who's eager to learn new things. Pair them with that developer in whatever way works in your organization. Let them learn from that effort. That's like how an organization can get started like right away.The other thing I would be doing for any enterprise organization doing security today is I'd be hiring for these skill sets. As you're hiring new people into the organization, this is a place you can hire junior people into security. Maybe they don't know a lot about security but they're pretty good. They've got some good development skills behind them. You can hire them into the organization, as most enterprise size security organizations regularly have openings that they're trying to fill. Rethink about some of those open positions. Repurpose one or two of them. Bring in a developer heavy or even a developer with little security experience and then train them over time.The last piece of that that I would say is training, right? Find individuals inside your security organization who raise their hands and say, “Hey, I want to learn this new thing. I want to be part of this change,” and give them some training, right? You can invest in your people and sending a security engineer to training to learn some development skills that creates loyalty. It creates energy. It creates enthusiasm. It creates a whole lot of positive side effects that they can then bring to the organization. Those are like three straightforward things you can do. There's a variety of others.[00:15:37] Guy Podjarny: Yeah, I know. But those are great advice, both on kind of where you focus, which is pick one that matters and not the kind of hidden that you care about. It's sort of the transitional sort of change and the pairing once again. I think that's definitely kind of a strong theme and a powerful one in kind of the human aspect of sort of [inaudible 00:15:54]. All sound like really good suggestions. It's going to be like a transition. We're going to make a bit of a transition towards the world of dev, right? This is security, and they're building and they're building those kind of skills and tools with different approaches. How do you then advise that they engage with dev? I mean, how do you see the collaboration happening in terms of process and steps?[00:16:19] Steve White: There's a lot of different ways you get after that. I'm a big fan. I've seen a lot of success in what I have historically called the security champions program, right? Security champions tend to be – It's like a way you help the development teams get invested and take ownership of security for their code, the stuff that they're creating. It's difficult to try to train everyone all the time and get them really enthusiastic about security things, right? I think that's not effective for most organizations. It's to try to get an entire development team jazzed about security.It's like pick same ideas. I have one on the security side and on the developer side. Pick a person, one person that's part of the team who has some enthusiasm for security, who has some understanding or some background in why it's important, and invest in them, right? Give them some additional training. Delegate to them some responsibility that perhaps the security team might've held within their arms previously. Find a security champion. Say, “Hey, we're going to invest in some training and we're going to invest in some responsibility, right? That now because you're on the team, we're going to take off the reins somewhat. We're going to take off some controls, loosen the guardrails, and give them more flexibility within this operating framework, because you now have a security voice embedded within the team.”That person, because they are a day-to-day functioning member of the team, can find incremental ways to help the team make small changes or do small things a little better. I'm a big fan of that natural growth of security awareness inside of a team.The second part of that is frankly is to move security tooling and security validation earlier in their process, right? Well, I like to talk about this shift left thing with security. Although if you ever look at the DevOps lifecycle, it's a continuous loop, so how you shift left in the loop is beyond me. But nonetheless, we still use that terminology. For me, it's simply where do I provide security feedback to developers in a more timely fashion and in a way that's consistent with the way they work. That's always been one of the challenges is in security we'll like run our SaaS and our desk tools somewhere down in the pipeline, and all we do is send them a report of a thousand probabilities in their code, and we're done.That's just not how you build those bridges, right? It's not how you build awareness, and so finding ways to give those developers actionable real-time feedback as close to the time they write the code as possible and then making sure that when you're providing security-related findings or feedback or what have you, that it really actually truly is actionable. It's not fanciful. We have this tendency in security to sort of take the high ground, right? It's like all the vulnerabilities have to be gone. There can't be a single line of misplaced code. That's not really where we need to be, right?One of the advice I've heard from others who I respected in this space is pick a particular security problem you're going to focus on, say, for a month and have all the development teams focus on that one class of vulnerability like SQL injection. We like to pick on that, because that's a pretty bad one. It's like all the teams focused on – We're going to focus on SQL injection this month, and so we're going to turn the knob up. We're going to turn the noise level up on SQL injection this month, and we're going to do everything we can. Then next month, we'll look at something else. But engage the teams in that conversation about what it should be, how they should receive the feedback, what's best for them. If you actually engage the developers in that conversation, I think you will ultimately get better results. Those are some of the keys, yeah.[00:20:20] Guy Podjarny: All great advice and I very much resonate with some of the whole shift left on it to say it's not shift left. It's top to bottom, it's to go from central governance to central controls and sort of bottom up and power teams.The question about the practicality of the security champions program, I mean, lots of good things to say about it. One of the pushbacks is that organizations don't always acknowledge this developer, the person in the development team who's now been sort of added in some form of authority, might have a different job. I mean, how do you recommend or sort of how do you see work best for organizations that do that security champion in terms of the role description for the security champion? Is it a percentage, less work that they do on the product side? I mean, how does that relate to their day job?[00:21:08] Steve White: Well, that's a really interesting question, and I think is also in some ways a cultural question, right? If you are trying to measure output of individual developers down to the level where they if they've spent two hours on security champion work, it would show up in some developer productivity metric. I think you need to question the cultural approach to that, because frankly, "output of development organizations should be focused minimally on the team output, right? There is very little external measure I would argue that is effective in measuring explicit individual developer productivity and especially in organizations where you're pairing, because now it's like, “Well, am I measuring the pair?”"Frankly, I would first say if you're trying to measure individual developer productivity at that level, I think you'd need to ask some tough questions about is that really effective and is that really the culture you want drive. If you take that up a level and you're measuring productivity and impact, it's really more about impact and feature flow and team metrics, right? Are they getting impactful things to the customers? Do the customers love what they deliver? Do they deliver frequently? Those kinds of metrics are what's important. I would argue that you're not going to see a big change in that by having one person spend some time on security champion types of duties.The other thing is that once trained – So there is a training period. Then during that training period, there may be some reduction in flow, but the responsibilities of the security champion are really just to speak up during planning or speak up during design sessions to ask the questions of the team. Did you think about this or did we include this or is this something that really should go through a deeper security review? It doesn't take a lot of work, right? It's not a big investment of time. It's like a focus versus amount of effort kind of thing, so it shouldn't take a lot of time.[00:23:14] Guy Podjarny: That's some great aspect. It kind of leads me to sort of another question I wanted to ask, which is like this measure. That team is also supposed to produce secure software and presumably whatever low [inaudible 00:23:26] provided by this sort of individual that might be helping also take some off or like helping others do their work more effectively. We're going to kind of take that last step into the world of dev and ask some questions there. How do you see, again, kind of best practices around helping the dev side of the fence appreciate security work, sort of time times spent, effort made in security, in terms of like measurements, mandates? I mean, like these are enterprises [inaudible 00:23:57] small organization sometimes or small [inaudible 00:24:00] in values in change suffice. It tends to be that in the enterprise it needs something a little bit more structured. What works best?[00:24:09] Steve White: First off, I don't think that I've seen a one-size-fits-all for every enterprise, because honestly it is a very cultural perspective. Even within enterprises, there's a big variety in culture. But I will say that I think the most effective thing I have seen in terms of helping the developers understand the impacts and the importance of security is frankly the value of something like a pen test, but a pen test specific to the code they're writing, because really a penetration test or a testing like that comes from the attacker mindset. What we're really trying to do in this scenario is to help the developers really adopt an attacker mindset. It's like if I was attacking this code, number one, why would I? Give them some really good illustration like if I break ‘this', then I got to ‘this'. Now, all of a sudden, I copied a thousand credit card numbers or healthcare or health record pieces of information.Nothing I think reinforces that message better than that kind of effort, and that's true from the executive tier and down, right? Like a good penetration test that demonstrates a chain of vulnerabilities carries powerful illustration.[00:25:26] Guy Podjarny: A sobering moment too. [00:25:27] Steve White: It does. Those things don't have to be external, so the other really interesting thing here is if you're building this kind of culture, is you can actually build a pen testing or a vulnerability assessing kind of mindset even within the application development organization, right? There's nothing that says that you might not take a Sprint and attack your own code or attack your neighbor's code and have them attack yours. Actually, you spend some time having folks go out actually purposefully attempt to exploit their own code or the other team's code. It really reinforces these things of, A, thinking like an attacker, understanding how these things can chain together and more importantly leading back to what's really important to the business.Every developer I've ever worked with, they care about the business. They care about what's important to the business. They care about their code doing good things for the business. If you can always tie these back to what data is being protected, how their code fits into that story, and if you can make this connection very visceral through pen testing and those kinds of things, I find that carries a lot of emotional value for the organizations.[00:26:42] Guy Podjarny: I love that as well. I mean, it's like security to an extent is sobering, as well as fun. So security and risk is – This other one's boring but sort of –[00:26:51] Steve White: I will tell people like the most fun I ever had in security is red teaming, right? That was my most fun assignment ever in security was being a red teamer or a black hat hacker.[00:27:02] Guy Podjarny: One more question on the dev side. We're going to level up a little bit. What you suggested right now is good for like getting them engaged, kind of getting them alive. How do you measure if they're doing a good job? I guess that's just not the developer's job but security as a whole. But how do you know that it's working?[00:27:21] Steve White: There are I think various ways to answer that question. But ultimately, it comes down to me. Number one, are the risk metrics that you use as an enterprise, are they improving? Every enterprise has a set of risk metrics that they're tracking as it relates to all parts of the organization, and so the way to look at this from the app developer side is a set of those metrics that apply to the custom developed applications and the platforms on which they're running. One way of looking at this is simply talking about are those risk metrics going down or up. Whichever way they're going, having a pretty open honest conversation about what it is that's driving those metrics down or up. So that's one way.Another way to look at that would be in the – I'm thinking of the relational metrics of it, right? I'm big on actually having people who are working together, basically kind of rating that experience or rating their collective collaboration. I'm looking for a word here, but it's like how do I rate the effectiveness of my collaboration. That's ultimately what I'm after. I think –[00:28:34] Guy Podjarny: Almost like a sentiment element – [00:28:36] Steve White: Yes. It's almost like an NPS. It's like a net promoter score but it's internal, and so I would say you're seeing success in this scenario if you ask the app development organization, “Hey, how good of a partner is security? How easy is it to follow the guardrails? What roadblocks are you seeing in the security processes,” and vice versa. You marry that up with similar questions from the security organization. Hey, how receptive do you find the app development teams? How collaborative is your relationship with them? How is the quality of the security in the custom-built applications going? Ask these questions on both sides of that equation and focus on sort of the collaborative aspects of it more than the “are the desk tools results going up or down in terms of vulnerability”. That's sort of an irrelevant metric to me, frankly.The number of vulnerabilities found in the source code, well, that can change just as I release a new tool into the environment, and it skyrockets, right? So I think more about metrics that are more about collaboration, effectiveness, and then ultimately like what really is getting through like flow. How easy is the flow of applications through my security pipeline? If it's easy to flow things through that are secure, great. If it's not so easy to flow things through, even if they're secure, that's a red flag, and you can put metrics around that. You can measure it.[00:30:07] Guy Podjarny: That's awesome. I definitely agree with kind of the sentiment of like it's people first, and you do those sorts of just the metrics. But there's a lot. I haven't heard this sort of the survey idea or this notion of ask people thing if they are collaborating well or not.Before I kind of ask you for your bit of advice, just one overlaying question. You've been in security for a while and you've kind of seen it transition. You're also advising organizations specifically on that transition from pre-imposed cloud native. It must have sort of developed more of a sort of – beyond the frameworks and all that, some crunch, some sort of sniff test about you're coming in, some properties that you're sort of seeing indicate, hey this company is probably not or is very effective in security. What would you say are like the key highlights that really kind of triggered that alert and how has that changed between kind pre-cloud native I guess, which arbitrarily affects the worlds into pre-cloud, post-cloud? [00:31:06] Steve White: There's a lot of things I would say around that one. The first and most important I would go back to - is there an ongoing collaborative relationship between security and the application development teams? Is that relationship through service desk tickets or is there an actual conversation happening on a regular basis? That, to me, is the key indicator of a problem. If there is not an active ongoing like daily or weekly conversation happening with active participation from security and app dev, then I think you need to dig deeper because I think that's indicative of a challenge. If all communication is through service desk tickets and those service desk tickets take three weeks to solve, I mean that's an indication of an organization that may have some challenges in these kinds of digital transformations. That's the point of it, right. These kinds of digital transformations are all about speed and agility, so you only get speed and agility if you're having active conversation versus trying to communicate sort of asynchronously. That's number one to me.Number two comes down to that conversation about gates versus guardrails. If I look at an organization, I can pretty quickly determine “do the application development teams have some guardrails to function within or do they have a bunch of gates they have to get through that I have to toss things over a silo wall to get security approvals.” That's really another really big indicator, right? Those are two key ones, and then there's a whole ton other ones like how you're giving feedback on your security testing, how effective is your security testing and how well tuned is it, are you providing developer feedback to keyboard entry layer, etc. etc. All of those are indicators, but the first two always come back to that. How do they communicate? How do they collaborate?[00:32:56] Guy Podjarny: They're both great. Would you say like are they just as important in the sort of the pre-cloud era as they are post? Is it – How they're useful here like when you actually not even recommend them if you're sort of developing some [inaudible 00:33:12] applications.[00:33:14] Steve White: Yeah, but I'll be careful. It's not so much about the word ‘cloud', because the word ‘cloud' can imply a move to the public cloud. It can imply a lot of things. I use the term cloud native, which is I like to define four key things. Cloud native architecture and organizations are defined by microservices. They're writing all their apps as microservices. They're defined by automated CICD pipelines. They're doing SRE/DevOps kinds of things and they're doing containers.Those four things really make up a cloud native organization. I would say that traditional enterprises who are not defined by those four things, if they're not doing containers, if they're not doing micro services, they're not doing automated CICD, and they're not doing agile DevOps, the existing security mechanisms may work fine for what they're trying to achieve, because the existing security mechanisms kind of grew up and were developed in that world, and they work fine if you weren't trying to make those kinds of transformations.But those are the exact things that put the existing security measures in a lot of pressure on them, right? When you're doing automated microservice agile code development, trying to release features to production, say, daily, the traditional code review, code testing feedback cycle just doesn't work. The short answer is it can work for traditional enterprise to continue to do security the way they have done it. Most enterprises that are writing custom code, they don't have the luxury to stay there. They have to move into this cloud native world in order to compete. They'll become irrelevant if they don't.[00:35:00] Guy Podjarny: Yeah. No, absolutely. Fully aligned, and you're right about this. I am sometimes kind of lazy and say cloud where they really mean cloud native in their approach but just the challenge of it. In that one, it's like – For most enterprises, the switch to cloud native is hardly a one-time thing, they will have a for a long period of time a portion of their assets or kind of their technology stacks be cloud native and a portion remain in that traditional surrounding. Would you advocate using kind of those, if you will, cloud native approaches to security across the board or would you actually kind of bifurcate the organization to say it's actually better for the sort of the traditional enterprises sort of stay where it was?[00:35:44] Steve White: Well, I would definitely suggest that it's best long-term to get the entire approach to security aligned with what I've described for cloud native. But if you have a bifurcated – Most enterprises are as you said. We've got a lot of existing things that we have to keep up and running and maintain in those kinds of pieces. For most organizations, this is not an overnight transition on the security side either, right? So I would suggest that it's best for those organizations to start the transition now. Get moving on transforming security just like you've got moving, transforming application development and have a plan and a strategy to make that transformation universal across all of security. But you don't have to do it overnight, just like you don't have to transform all of the application development overnight, right? Make it sensible for your organization. Make the right pace of change, something that the larger organization can consume, and do it in a planful way.Ultimate answer is you – I mean, this kind of transformation is great for all of security, but you don't have to artificially rush it to get there immediately for the whole organization. Do it incrementally, just like everything else.[00:37:04] Guy Podjarny: A nice kind of full circle as well is one of your first bits of advice. It's kind of pick the area you're going to start first. It's very clear. This has been some jam-packed with great advice I think for the whole journey. But I'll ask you for one more. As you know, I like to ask every guest that sort of come to the show if you have kind of one bit of advice or even like a pet peeve or something that kind of annoys you when people start doing if you'd like to give sort of a team that is looking to kind of level up their security too, what would that be?[00:37:33] Steve White: That would be focus on the actual threats to your organization, not the science lab projects that your neighbor has dreamed up. Keep your organization focused on combating those threats. That, to me, is like "my number one advised any security team. Focus on the real threats, not necessarily all of the imaginary ones."[00:38:02] Guy Podjarny: Excellent spoken like a person who's had many conversation with enterprise security teams with advanced [inaudible 00:38:09] threat and nightmares –[00:38:10] Steve White: I've had lots of conversations with lots of really brilliant people. To be clear, there are organizations under some very, very sophisticated threats. I have a pretty long military career in cyber, and there are lots of really interesting threats out there. But a lot of enterprises out there today aren't going to see those threats.[00:38:29] Guy Podjarny: That's great advice. Steve, this has been a pleasure. Thanks a lot for coming on the show.[00:38:33] Steve White: Absolutely. Thanks for having me.[00:38:33] Guy Podjarny: Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. I hope you join us for the next one.[END OF INTERVIEW]

The costs of open sourcing a project are explored, we discover why PS4 downloads are so slow, delve into the history of UNIX man pages, and more. This episode was brought to you by Headlines The Cost Of Open Sourcing Your Project (https://meshedinsights.com/2016/09/20/open-source-unlikely-to-be-abandonware/) Accusing a company of “dumping” their project as open source is probably misplaced – it's an expensive business no-one would do frivolously. If you see an active move to change software licensing or governance, it's likely someone is paying for it and thus could justify the expense to an executive. A Little History Some case study cameos may help. From 2004 onwards, Sun Microsystems had a policy of all its software moving to open source. The company migrated almost all products to open source licenses, and had varying degrees of success engaging communities around the various projects, largely related to the outlooks of the product management and Sun developers for the project. Sun occasionally received requests to make older, retired products open source. For example, Sun acquired a company called Lighthouse Design which created a respected suite of office productivity software for Steve Jobs' NeXT platform. Strategy changes meant that software headed for the vault (while Jonathan Schwartz, a founder of Lighthouse, headed for the executive suite). Members of the public asked if Sun would open source some of this software, but these requests were declined because there was no business unit willing to fund the move. When Sun was later bought by Oracle, a number of those projects that had been made open source were abandoned. “Abandoning” software doesn't mean leaving it for others; it means simply walking away from wherever you left it. In the case of Sun's popular identity middleware products, that meant Oracle let the staff go and tried to migrate customers to other products, while remaining silent in public on the future of the project. But the code was already open source, so the user community was able to pick up the pieces and carry on, with help from Forgerock. It costs a lot of money to open source a mature piece of commercial software, even if all you are doing is “throwing a tarball over the wall”. That's why companies abandoning software they no longer care about so rarely make it open source, and those abandoning open source projects rarely move them to new homes that benefit others. If all you have thought about is the eventual outcome, you may be surprised how expensive it is to get there. Costs include: For throwing a tarball over the wall: Legal clearance. Having the right to use the software is not the same as giving everyone in the world an unrestricted right to use it and create derivatives. Checking every line of code to make sure you have the rights necessary to release under an OSI-approved license is a big task requiring high-value employees on the “liberation team”. That includes both developers and lawyers; neither come cheap. Repackaging. To pass it to others, a self-contained package containing all necessary source code, build scripts and non-public source and tool dependencies has to be created since it is quite unlikely to exist internally. Again, the liberation team will need your best developers. Preserving provenance. Just because you have confidence that you have the rights to the code, that doesn't mean anyone else will. The version control system probably contains much of the information that gives confidence about who wrote which code, so the repackaging needs to also include a way to migrate the commit information. Code cleaning. The file headers will hopefully include origin information but the liberation team had better check. They also need to check the comments for libel and profanities, not to mention trade secrets (especially those from third parties) and other IP issues. For a sustainable project, all the above plus: Compliance with host governance. It is a fantastic idea to move your project to a host like Apache, Conservancy, Public Software and so on. But doing so requires preparatory work. As a minimum you will need to negotiate with the new host organisation, and they may well need you to satisfy their process requirements. Paperwork obviously, but also the code may need conforming copyright statements and more. That's more work for your liberation team. Migration of rights. Your code has an existing community who will need to migrate to your new host. That includes your staff – they are community too! They will need commit rights, governance rights, social media rights and more. Your liberation team will need your community manager, obviously, but may also need HR input. Endowment. Keeping your project alive will take money. It's all been coming from you up to this point, but if you simply walk away before the financial burden has been accepted by the new community and hosts there may be a problem. You should consider making an endowment to your new host to pay for their migration costs plus the cost of hosting the community for at least a year. Marketing. Explaining the move you are making, the reasons why you are making it and the benefits for you and the community is important. If you don't do it, there are plenty of trolls around who will do it for you. Creating a news blog post and an FAQ — the minimum effort necessary — really does take someone experienced and you'll want to add such a person to your liberation team. Motivations There has to be some commercial reason that makes the time, effort and thus expense worth incurring. Some examples of motivations include: Market Strategy. An increasing number of companies are choosing to create substantial, openly-governed open source communities around software that contributes to their business. An open multi-stakeholder co-developer community is an excellent vehicle for innovation at the lowest cost to all involved. As long as your market strategy doesn't require creating artificial scarcity. Contract with a third party. While the owner of the code may no longer be interested, there may be one or more parties to which they owe a contractual responsibility. Rather than breaching that contract, or buying it out, a move to open source may be better. Some sources suggest a contractual obligation to IBM was the reason Oracle abandoned OpenOffice.org by moving it over to the Apache Software Foundation for example. Larger dependent ecosystem. You may have no further use for the code itself, but you may well have other parts of your business which depend on it. If they are willing to collectively fund development you might consider an “inner source” strategy which will save you many of the costs above. But the best way to proceed may well be to open the code so your teams and those in other companies can fund the code. Internal politics. From the outside, corporations look monolithic, but from the inside it becomes clear they are a microcosm of the market in which they exist. As a result, they have political machinations that may be addressed by open source. One of Oracle's motivations for moving NetBeans to Apache seems to have been political. Despite multiple internal groups needing it to exist, the code was not generating enough direct revenue to satisfy successive executive owners, who allegedly tried to abandon it on more than one occasion. Donating it to Apache meant that couldn't happen again. None of this is to say a move to open source guarantees the success of a project. A “Field of Dreams” strategy only works in the movies, after all. But while it may be tempting to look at a failed corporate liberation and describe it as “abandonware”, chances are it was intended as nothing of the kind. Why PS4 downloads are so slow (https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-08-19-slow-ps4-downloads/) From the blog that brought us “The origins of XXX as FIXME (https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-04-17-xxx-fixme/)” and “The mystery of the hanging S3 downloads (https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-07-20-s3-mystery/)”, this week it is: “Why are PS4 downloads so slow?” Game downloads on PS4 have a reputation of being very slow, with many people reporting downloads being an order of magnitude faster on Steam or Xbox. This had long been on my list of things to look into, but at a pretty low priority. After all, the PS4 operating system is based on a reasonably modern FreeBSD (9.0), so there should not be any crippling issues in the TCP stack. The implication is that the problem is something boring, like an inadequately dimensioned CDN. But then I heard that people were successfully using local HTTP proxies as a workaround. It should be pretty rare for that to actually help with download speeds, which made this sound like a much more interesting problem. Before running any experiments, it's good to have a mental model of how the thing we're testing works, and where the problems might be. If nothing else, it will guide the initial experiment design. The speed of a steady-state TCP connection is basically defined by three numbers. The amount of data the client is will to receive on a single round-trip (TCP receive window), the amount of data the server is willing to send on a single round-trip (TCP congestion window), and the round trip latency between the client and the server (RTT). To a first approximation, the connection speed will be: speed = min(rwin, cwin) / RTT With this model, how could a proxy speed up the connection? The speed through the proxy should be the minimum of the speed between the client and proxy, and the proxy and server. It should only possibly be slower With a local proxy the client-proxy RTT will be very low; that connection is almost guaranteed to be the faster one. The improvement will have to be from the server-proxy connection being somehow better than the direct client-server one. The RTT will not change, so there are just two options: either the client has a much smaller receive window than the proxy, or the client is somehow causing the server's congestion window to decrease. (E.g. the client is randomly dropping received packets, while the proxy isn't). After setting up a test rig, where the PS4's connection was bridged through a linux box so packets could be captured, and artificial latency could be added, some interested results came up: The differences in receive windows at different times are striking. And more important, the changes in the receive windows correspond very well to specific things I did on the PS4 When the download was started, the game Styx: Shards of Darkness was running in the background (just idling in the title screen). The download was limited by a receive window of under 7kB. This is an incredibly low value; it's basically going to cause the downloads to take 100 times longer than they should. And this was not a coincidence, whenever that game was running, the receive window would be that low. Having an app running (e.g. Netflix, Spotify) limited the receive window to 128kB, for about a 5x reduction in potential download speed. Moving apps, games, or the download window to the foreground or background didn't have any effect on the receive window. Playing an online match in a networked game (Dreadnought) caused the receive window to be artificially limited to 7kB. I ran a speedtest at a time when downloads were limited to 7kB receive window. It got a decent receive window of over 400kB; the conclusion is that the artificial receive window limit appears to only apply to PSN downloads. When a game was started (causing the previously running game to be stopped automatically), the receive window could increase to 650kB for a very brief period of time. Basically it appears that the receive window gets unclamped when the old game stops, and then clamped again a few seconds later when the new game actually starts up. I did a few more test runs, and all of them seemed to support the above findings. The only additional information from that testing is that the rest mode behavior was dependent on the PS4 settings. Originally I had it set up to suspend apps when in rest mode. If that setting was disabled, the apps would be closed when entering in rest mode, and the downloads would proceed at full speed. The PS4 doesn't make it very obvious exactly what programs are running. For games, the interaction model is that opening a new game closes the previously running one. This is not how other apps work; they remain in the background indefinitely until you explicitly close them. So, FreeBSD and its network stack are not to blame Sony used a poor method to try to keep downloads from interfering with your gameplay The impact of changing the receive window is highly dependant upon RTT, so it doesn't work as evenly as actual traffic shaping or queueing would.
