In this episode we sit down with Mark Simos to dive into his RSA Conference talk "You're Doing It Wrong - Common Security AntiPatterns" to dig into several painfully true anti-patterns in cybersecurity and how we often are our own worst enemy.-- First off, for those not familiar with you or your background, can you tell us a bit about that.- So you delivered this talk at RSA, focused on Cybersecurity "Anti-Patterns". How did the talk come about and how was it received by the audience?We won't be able to name them all, but I would love to discuss some of them.- You talk about the technology-centric thinking, and how folks believe security is about technology instead of business assets. Can you explain this one?- The silver bullet mindset was another that jumped out to me. This is thinking a single solution can 100% solve complex and continuous problems. What ways have you seen this one play out?- The paradox of blame is one that made me laugh because I have seen this play out a lot. You talk about the CYA mentality, how security warns about issues, they are skipped and then security is blamed. This one really stings because I have seen it happen, and in fact, I feel like we're seeing it play out with some of the CISO liability cases and regulations that are emerging. - Perhaps one of the most well known anti-patterns of security being the office of no or resisting trends. I feel like we saw this with Cloud, Mobile, SaaS and now AI. Why do we keep repeating these mistakes?

In this episode Michael talks with guest Nikhil Kumar and our own Mark Simos about a new book they have co-authored named "Zero Trust Playbook Series Zero Trust Overview and Playbook Introduction: Actionable Guidance for Business, Security, and Technology Leaders and Practitioners."

In this episode, we break down co-writing and talk about reflecting back on process and what can be learned from taking pause and observing what went well and what you wish had gone differently making you a better writer and co-writer going forward.To purchase Mark's books: https://www.amazon.com/Songwriting-Strategies-360-Degree-Approach-Music/dp/087639151X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2P5EAKVUEMJCD&keywords=mark+simos&qid=1691706851&sprefix=mark+simo%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-1Mixed by Peter Sykes: https://www.petersykesmusic.com/Otto Gross: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMnxx19QD-vxD4wnYGTn3JwScarlet's website: https://www.scarletkeys.comScarlet's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scarletkeysofficial/To purchase Scarlet Keys' book "The Craft of Songwriting:https://www.amazon.com/Craft-Songwriting-Music-Meaning-Emotion/dp/0876391927/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PP55NU6E9ST6&keywords=the+craft+of+songwriting&qid=1659573139&sprefix=the+craft+of+songwritin%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

Microsoft Azure adoption with cybersecurity first principle strategies. The cloud revolution is here. How well can we implement our first principle strategies within each environment? Do we need to embrace other security platforms to get it done? In this session, Rick and the Hash Table review Microsoft Azure through the lens of first principle thinking. They review how Azure supports, or doesn't support, strategies of resilience, zero trust, intrusion kill chains, and risk assessments. The Hash Table gives their detailed technical experiences and strategies using Azure to support cybersecurity. Two members of the CyberWire's Hash Table of experts - Rick Doten, Carolina Complete Health CISO and Mark Simos, Microsoft's Lead Cybersecurity Architect - discuss Microsoft Azure security through a first principle lens. Can Azure deployments satisfy our requirements for zero trust, intrusion kill chain prevention, resilience, and risk assessment? Cybersecurity professional development and continued education. You will learn about: Microsoft Azure services and security tools, infrastructure as code, Azure strategies that support cybersecurity first principles CyberWire is the world's most trusted news source for cybersecurity information and situational awareness.

1. Belle of Greensboro / Till havs I motorbåt (To sea in a motorboat) - lydia ievins (Montague, MA). The first waltz, by lydia, is named for Mary Jellicorse, a gracious and graceful dancer. The second is by fiddler Sixten Engström, who lived way up in northern Sweden and held a great love for fishing. Played here on 5-string fiddle and piano. Recorded on Koivu, lydia's duo album with Helsinki-based pianist Juha Kujanpää. www.lydiamusic.org    2. Imagine that, by Susan Reid (Montpelier, VT). Read by Sam Sanders (Montpelier, VT), with piano accompaniment by Aaron Marcus (Montpelier, VT). This poem was written by Susan Reid this summer and Aaron Marcus and Sam Sanders wrote and arranged most of the music this fall. The outro tune, "In Irene's Wake," commemorates the unbelievably blue sky and sun the day after Tropical Storm Irene slammed into central Vermont--yet another time that felt apocalyptic and changed the fabric of our communities. More of Aaron's music, including Susan's poetry (read by Sam and set to music), can be found on their Bandcamp site: https://aaronmarcus.bandcamp.com/releases  3. Lad O’Beirn’s / Ha’penny Reel - Maivish. Maivish is Adam Broome (guitar), Jaige Trudel (fiddle), and Matthew Olwell (bodhrán). This previously unreleased track includes two traditional tunes. www.maivish.com/  4. Nahant, by Sara Teasdale. Read by Ben Williams (Northampton, MA). Ben reflects, “As always, I love Sara Teasdale's visceral description of the sea and shore. Although she was living through World War I a hundred years ago, the sea and the shore have provided me the same unchanging calm in our times of modern conflict as well.”5. Sleepy Eyes - Lissa Schneckenburger (Brattleboro, VT). This song, written by Mark Simos and sung by Keith Murphy, is on Lissa’s album Different Game. www.lissafiddle.com  6. At nightfall, by Albert Phelps. Read by Julie Vallimont (Brattleboro, VT).7. August Lullaby - Jacob Chen (Norman, OK). Jacob wrote this waltz in 2019. He notes, “This tune came about after feeling the warm summer vibes of August evenings in Oklahoma. Initially written as a straight waltz, the tune has adopted a mazurka-like feel over time.”The opening music is “The Pearl in Sorrow’s Hand” by Julie Vallimont, from her album Dark Sky, Bright Stars.

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Mark Simos, fiddler and professor at Berklee College of Music. I visited him in his home back in February when I took my Boston trip. I didn’t know Mark at all prior to our session, but both Mark Kilianski and Adam Hurt recommended him, so my expectations were high. And I wasn’t disappointed! Mark’s a fantastic fiddler and he has a lot of ideas about what music is and why it’s important; traditional music especially. So, basically the perfect Get Up in the Cool guest. It was nice to not feel like I was being self-indulgent when I wanted to wax philosophical about fiddle tunes, he was right there with me. But, don’t get the wrong idea, this is by no means an overly talky episode. Mark curated a great jam of great versions of great tunes, with an emphasis on effective, intentional simplicity. I’m really excited for you to hear it!
