Sitting down with Marcus J. Ranum, Author of "The Myth of Homeland Security" and credited with a number of innovations in firewalls and intrusion detection systems, as well as being a co-founder at Tenable. We take a look at some of his predictions that date back to 2004 and earlier. We also look at Cybersecurity through the lens of reliable systems. If the system can be relied on then one would argue that it is probably secure. Ultimately it comes down to a properly motivated Systems Administrator who is focused on solving root problems and not just adding another layer of proverbial Duct tape. A big thanks to our sponsor PC Matic, Endpoint Security built on a zero-trust/default deny philosophy, allowing only trusted sources and blocking all the rest. Lightweight, simple to deploy, easy to manage & compatible with all major antivirus products. Find out more about PC Matic by visiting PCMatic.com/msp/.

We've had enough conversations about the relationship between technology, cybersecurity, and technology to know that people have different expectations, hopes, and visions. Some utopian, some dystopian, and some are Marcus J. Ranum.We met Marcus J. Ranum a few years ago during an ISSA Los Angeles Summit, where we had an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about the idea of needing the equivalent of a Geneva Convention for cybersecurity. Given the many twists and turns the conversation had, it was at that point that we knew Marcus had a different perspective on cyber life, as many other professionals do.Jump ahead a few years to our partnership with ISSA International and we find ourselves with the opportunity to have an extended Luminaries Series chat with Marcus—this time looking at things through the lens of our Redefining Security channel. We take a look at the past, where Marcus was instrumental in bringing to life the first information security firewalls, and from there, we leaped into the present and the future. Buckle up, because it is not a pleasant stroll in the park, and it got pretty dark, very quickly.In 1976, when Marcus "got into computing," the deployment of systems involved running a wire to a terminal, plugging it in, and enabling the operating system. And, when we say "enabling the operating system" we mean actually building a kernel for your system that you were going to run it on, configuring the hardware, and configuring the device drivers that you needed in the operating system for the hardware that you were going to run everything on."We didn't have all these gigantic driver frameworks as we do nowadays. Everything was kind of low and slow, and lean and mean… it had to be because there wasn't infinite amounts of memory nor infinite amounts of processing power. And that had a direct effect on the way security evolved." —Marcus J. RanumFast forward 40+ years—where have we landed—where are we headed?As you will hear, Marcus has a very dark view of the future of security; a future that involves software engineers, hardware engineers, increased complexity, ongoing abstraction, and an overall lack of comprehension of how things work. This story may be ripe for the picking for a Hollywood flick to hit your favorite streaming service. However, it may not be the traditional Hollywood ending that you might expect.Come on, join us for this journey. It's one you won't want to miss being part of. Is there hope for the future of technology and humanity?Maybe. Maybe not.Guest(s)Marcus J.

A great deal of discussion about privacy focuses on the technicaldetails of metadata, data in motion, data at rest, etc -- details which are designed to obscure the basic discussion rather than to illuminate.In this talk we'll look at some of the philosophical questions regarding privacy and what they may mean in modern terms. About the speaker: Marcus J. Ranum, Senior Strategist at Tenable Network Security, Inc., is a world-renowned expert on security system design and implementation. He has been involved in every level of operations of a security product business, from developer, to founder and CEO.

In this episode... We discuss "big data", what the heck it really is, and whether it's something new, something old, or something marketing made up Marcus does interpretive dance, and makes up new words Alex (shockingly) disagrees with Marcus, and actually describes 'data science' We hear Marcus talk about "NBS - never before seen" detection and why it's so critical We collectively agree (it's OK to be shocked) that "big data" is not a product Marcus discusses why you should be defending against the sniper The guests disagree on whether we have too little data, or whether we just don't know how to make it work for us Alex puts on a tinfoil hat ... Guests Marcus Ranum ( @mjranum ) - Marcus J. Ranum is a world-renowned expert on security system design and implementation. He is a pioneer in security technology who was one of the early innovators in firewall, VPN, and intrusion detection systems. Since the late 1980s, Marcus designed a number of groundbreaking security products including the DEC SEAL, the TIS firewall toolkit, the Gauntlet firewall, and NFR's Network Flight Recorder intrusion detection system. He has been involved in every level of operations of a security product business, from developer to founder and CEO of NFR. In SC Magazine's 20th Anniversary Edition, Marcus was named as one of the top industry pioneers over the last 20 years. Marcus is currently the CSO at Tenable. Alex Hutton ( @alexhutton ) - Alex is the Director of Operations Risk & Governance for a very, very large financial, so he has to stay incognito. Frankly, it doesn't matter much whether he says where he works, the dude's one of the smartest people I know, and lives, breathes, and often excretes 'risk' knowledge.
