May 18, 2022: What do hackers want from healthcare? Join us for a special episode. Reverse Engineering, a Hackers Approach. https://www.linkedin.com/in/guidogrillenmeier/ (Guido Grillenmeier), Chief Technologist at Semperis and https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattsickles/ (Matt Sickles), Solutions Architect at Sirius Healthcare walk us through Semperis Purple Knight. A free tool to help you find your most dangerous vulnerabilities. AD is typically a weak point for HC organizations. 90% of attacks exploit AD. It is very difficult to gain an understanding of where your AD is at risk. Purple Knight maps those indicators to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and provides guidance on how to fix the issues. As hackers, what defenses do we have to be concerned about? What will cause us to choose a different target? If we are detected will that just move our timeline up or will we move on? How long do we need access to the compromised AD to know if we can get to our target hack? How much time do we need in the target system? And flipping back to the other side, what can a CIO do today to ensure their health system is ready for an attack on their Active Directory?  Key Points: AD is typically a weak point for HC organizations, 90% of attacks exploit AD It is very difficult to gain an understanding of where your AD is at risk You cannot secure older operating systems the same way as newer ones What is the state of active directory right now?

On today’s episode we have the fabulous Matt Sickles, aka. the Hard Part. He’s used to go with a faux hawk, but has recently shifted to a hard part to minimize setup time, and he usually plays the hard part on guitar with his many bands. Including, as we have recorded here, Mr. Haircut. We got some pretty nasty improvisations this episode, and some deep, inspiring, thought provoking, raucous conversation. I wrote out a script for Matt to follow, but once again, forgot it at home… so this episode is improvised. I think my squirrel already chewed on my script for next week, so we might have to improv that one too. You are in for a treat– biscuits, grandma guitars, speed picking, and cross sticking all make an appearance in this week’s Mr. Haircut.

In this six-part series, “The Six Pillars of Security," we’ll explore how companies can stay agile and secure in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape. According to Gemalto's Breach Level Index 2016 Report, data breaches led to almost 1.4 billion data records being compromised worldwide during 2016, an increase of 86 percent over 2015. And Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report found that in 93 percent of cases where data was stolen, systems were compromised in minutes or less. Organizations, meanwhile, took weeks or more to discover that a breach had even occurred — and it was typically customers or law enforcement that sounded the alarm, not their own security measures. Traditional prevention and detection methods are being bypassed, and many organizations either don’t know what to do, or don’t have the right resources in place to advance their security. To keep up with highly skilled and aggressive attackers, we need to move beyond the predictable patterns of network security and static defenses that our cyber adversaries are well-attuned to. Listen to the podcast to learn more. 10 Keys to Data-Centric Security - It is no longer enough to focus our efforts on networks and endpoints. As IT changes continue to occur, organizations need to keep pace and advance their security by focusing on the data itself through the development of a data-centric security program. 7 Key Elements of a Successful Encryption Strategy - It’s imperative to remember that your encryption program — and IT security in general — is a process, not a product. Effective encryption takes time; in addition to careful consideration of data states and encryption techniques, there are seven key elements that can help you build a successful end-to-end approach.
