Recorded December 3, 2021 Are your AV devices secure? Probably not. Is your campus network secure? Fingers crossed! We start with some recent non-AV news about campus network security and ransomware that forced two entire community colleges to simply close temporarily. Then we discuss the current state of AV network security. How many devices do we all have out there on the network running firmware from years ago? Has that firmware been through a security audit recently? Or ever? Of course not! AV manufacturers have a bit of a cultural problem when it comes to security in that it often seems to be an afterthought-- even for native AVoIP devices or gear that requires a network connection to function. Finally, we commiserate about campus clients who want to second-guess project estimates. Over the last two years, everyone has gotten used to "good enough AV” experiences while teaching, learning, and working from home, but is that really good enough for a university learning space? Also, we just bought this TV at Best Buy. Can you just install that for us real quick?

This is a bonus episode, meaning we're releasing it out of order so that we can deliver this piping hot content before its relevance crumbles under the weight of the media cycle. It's a Met Gala recap, so we're talking about favorites and least favorites, and giving our takes on the event's most controversial looks. Along the way, Hope and Jackie both come out as pro flower crown and ask the question “where were you when you found out what a deductible is?” Finally, a conversation about Simon Denny's art exhibit Security Through Obscurity, which tells a story of neoliberal irony through the beautiful and unexpected collision of Margaret Thatcher's scarves with Patagonia puffy vests.

Security Through Obscurity is Not Security at All I started thinking this a little while ago about how far the world has come and going back into the days of my first job, yep, many, many moons ago at Jaycar. I was thinking abouthow many people paid and their PIN number was on the back of their credit card or on the back of their key card. I thought, oh my goodness, that's not even an obscurity, that's not security at all. You might as well use a chisel to lock your door. It doesn't make any sense. Learn more about Business IT Security: https://dorksdelivered.com.au/blog/368-security-through-obscurity-is-no-security-at-all Security is Everything The biggest problem you can face is you don't even know if your business is secure or not unless you're in the game. You need to make sure that it is secure. You want to make sure that things aren't being taken away and that those little bits of ease aren't at the expense of security. I'm sure your IT companies have told you this before, but if you want to have everything completely secure, the most secure network you'll ever find is one that has no people on it and no connection to the internet. When I was doing some support work for a school of 1,200 machines, I can comfortably say that during the school holidays after I got everything working, nothing broke, everything just kept working. It was great, but it's not a usable system. Stay Flexible If you have everything completely locked down and nobody's able to touch them there's no point in having them. There always has to be a bit of flexibility and that's where you need to make sure that you're staying secure, because flexibility comes at a risk if it's not done properly. If you're connecting into your workforce from remotely you should be using a VPN or something to connect in that would connect to your phone, such as a two factor authentication.You want to make sure that you have great security in place. This goes on premise as well. Lock it Up With Good Quality Locks You can go down to Bunningsand you can buy a cheap lock. One of my sort of side hobby that I've done in the past to pass time and get my mind away from the analytical thinking and more towards a creative, physical thing is lock picking. It's quite a hobby andit's quite interesting. It was surprising to find, when I went over to my mate's house, his parents had just built this beauty of a home, maybe 1.6 million dollar home near the water and it looked quite nice, as you'd imagine. The home was so fresh, that grass, you could still see those lines where the turf had been rolled out. We couldn't get into the house. His parents weren't home and his parents didn't have a hidden key or anything like that, again, security through obscurity. They said, "Look, we just have to wait for us to get home, we'll be home in about two hours." I said, "If you don't mind I'll just use my lock picking set." I opened the door in about 10 seconds and that comes down to shitty locks. You can't have bad locks on your doors. You've got to have good locks, you've got to have good security, otherwise you're only keeping out the honest criminals. That's what a lock is and that's what a lot of security is around IT practises. Get An Audit These people have just popped in antivirus solutions and they've turned a small network into a bigger network. They're still running a mumand dad practise, butthe business is now turning over sizable income and wouldn't be able to have the downtime that was associated with a mom and dad business. Have a look, get an audit. Get someone to jump in and audit your business. You'll be surprised at what they can find, anything from security patches missing, old router firmware that needs to be updated, old wireless protocols that should be disabled or even things that let them get in because you don't have the correct types of encryptions with any of the resources that you are dishing out remotely. What About the Cloud? Some people think, "I'm in the Cloud, I don't have to worry about security." Well here's a big, scary notice for you, you really really do more than ever if you're in the Cloud because now if someone's breaking into your shit, you can't even unplug the cord and get away from them. You have to just sit there and let it happen. How terrible is that? That is of course unless you've got the right processes in place. The Final Word Have talk to your IT company and see what they can do. Security should be your number one priority. Remember that security through obscurity is not security at all. Stay good.  

This episode focuses on topics introduced by the following TechGenix articles: - Heed the warnings: 5 telltale signs of impending IT disasters - 5 top-paying IT jobs in 2018 - Fax hack? Why old tech is getting renewed interest from cybercriminals

In this week’s cyber security news round-up, we chat about Threat Intel’s Liam O’Murchu’s Black Hat presentation: How To Use Machine Learning to Discover New Targeted Attacks. We also discuss the Snapchat source code leak, the coin mining campaign targeting MikroTik routers, and the concept of “security through obscurity” – adding more bugs to code to make it harder for black hat hackers to figure out which bugs are the exploitable ones.

Aaron and Cory take their first deep dive into the topic of security. They get in depth with the technical aspects of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that makes them so secure.

It's time to talk code security when developing applications to try to stop people from stealing our precious code and apps. We discuss the different methods we have used to attempt to obfuscate our code and the tools we use to peek into our own code. When it comes to security, it is more than just the executable we ship as we have to be aware of everything happening on the device such as in app purchases, certificates, web requests, and a bunch of other things. We discuss all this and more on this week's show.
