Enterprise Security Weekly (audio)

Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers cannot practically solve. IBM's Dr. Kayla Lee will explain how close we are to a computational quantum advantage: the point where a computational task of business or scientific relevance can be performed more efficiently, cost-effectively, or accurately using a quantum computer than with classical computations alone.  Segment Resources: What is quantum computing? https://www.ibm.com/topics/quantum-computing About IBM Quantum: https://www.ibm.com/quantum About the IBM Quantum Development Roadmap: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/roadmap Access and program a quantum computer: https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/   Quantum computers are scaling rapidly. Soon, they will be powerful enough to solve previously unsolvable problems. But they come with a global challenge: fully-realized quantum computers will be able to break some of the most widely-used security protocol

So much of the tech world went remote at the start of the pandemic, and many of those jobs (and engineers) show no sign of ever going back into an office. Building successful teams in this environment takes a different approach, one defined by autonomy and trust. In this segment, Nickolas Means, VP of Engineering at Sym, will share insights from more than a decade of leading distributed teams to help us all thrive in a world where distributed is the new normal.   The White House recently revealed their National Cybersecurity Strategy and its 5 pillars. Some is straightforward - some is more controversial. Josh helped with it and wrote a blog about it. Adrian read that post and asked Josh to come discuss it. So here we are.

The CI/CD pipeline is the backbone of the software development process, so it's critical to ensure you are meeting and exceeding the most critical security measures. Throughout this podcast, Tal Morgenstern, Co-founder and CSO of Vulcan Cyber, will break down the process of how organizations can properly secure a CI/CD pipeline into a checklist of four key steps, as well as offer a handful of tools and tactics security leadership can use to bake risk-based vulnerability management into their CI/CD pipelines. He will explain how securing your CI/CD pipelines alone is not enough to reduce the chances of cyber attacks and the importance for organizations to not only maintain security at speed and scale, but quality at speed and scale. Finally, Tal will dive into how Vulcan Cyber helps organizations to streamline security tasks in every stage of the cyber-risk management process, integrating with their existing tools for true end-to-end risk management.

You know SBOMs can help you keep track of your software assets and therefore, their vulnerabilities. Despite even the White House pressing the issue, many vendors aren't forthcoming with SBOMs, and you can't afford to wait. With Tanium's Roland Diaz, we'll discuss the most important considerations when generating your own SBOMs (which is now something their product can also do!). This segment is sponsored by Tanium. Visit https://securityweekly.com/tanium to learn more!   Looking at topics around go-to-market strategy and product management, including: how building products is unique in cybersecurity compared to other industries, what is product-led growth and what shape it takes in security, and how to do it right.

The MSP space has undergone a lot of changes in the past few decades, with the emphasis on security increasing dramatically in the last 5-10 years. We discuss how ConnectWise, which builds and sells solutions to MSPs, has tackled this challenge. We'll be asking questions both from Raffael's point-of-view, selling to MSPs, but also from the customer point-of-view - small to medium businesses with a need to outsource IT and security functions.   Today, we talk to Jim Routh - a retired CISO who survived the job for over 20 years! He'll be sharing some wisdom with us, like how analytics and data science can help detect malicious insiders. Also, more generally, Jim will help us understand how data-science-backed tooling can help move the security market forward and help security teams and programs mature.   Segment Resources:  https://www.reveal.security/resources/whitepapers/   This week in the Enterprise News: Deepwatch Announces $180 Million in Investments, VulnCheck Raises $3.2 Million to Solve Prioritization

It's another holiday week, so enjoy this episode from the ESW archives!   The cloud and SaaS were supposed to make things easier, simpler, more scalable. Arguably, they _have_ done all those things, but traditional, legacy networks linger. Migrations are messy and take time. Nearly everything is encrypted in transit by default. Today, we interview Marty Roesch, the creator of Snort and founder of SourceFire, to discuss how things have changed and what defenders can do to catch up and restore some order to the madness. We'll step through some history along the way - listeners might be surprised at how much our current situation mirrors the reasons behind why Marty created Snort in the first place.

Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.  Segment Resources:  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/videos/when-use-pen-testing-red-teaming-or-both?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/guides/complete-guide-layering-offensive-security?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&am

Cyber insurance is a must-have, but organizations are finding that cyber insurance premiums are more costly, policies are more difficult to obtain, and policies attach more limitations and exclusions than before. We will discuss cyber insurance’s role in risk management and trends.   Segment Resources: https://www.forrester.com/report/q-and-a-cyber-insurance/RES178563?ref_search=3185990_1675109251447 https://www.forrester.com/report/tech-execs-guide-to-cyber-insurance/RES178564?ref_search=3185990_1675109251447 https://www.forrester.com/blogs/whos-responsible-for-cyber-insurance-policy-misrepresentations-it-depends/?ref_search=3185990_1675109251447   Insiders - employees, contractors, and partners - are responsible for almost a quarter of data breaches. Reducing insider risk requires a dedicated approach, including user monitoring. But be careful, Forrester predicts that a C-level executive will be fired for their firm’s use of employee monitoring in 2023.   Segment Resources: https://www.forrester.com/blo

There's a LOT of noise in the security industry. We've catalogued over 10,000 cybersecurity products and each of the companies behind these products has a marketing team, a twitter account, a blog, and a ton of content to blast at enterprise security buyers. There's an interesting connection between GreyNoise's product, founder, and principles. While building a product that filtered out the noise that wastes most security operations teams' time, Andrew was dead set against building a startup that resembled the typical security startup. We'll discuss Andrew's unique path to market, the latest features of GreyNoise, and where the lines are drawn between malicious and benign scanning.    Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw264   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

Despite certain economic indicators warning that a recession is on the horizon, investment remains healthy within the security market amid thirst for cloud security, in particular. One such emerging field is data security posture management (DSPM), which aims to bridge the gap between business goals and a comprehensive security mechanism that leaves no data behind as organizations scale in the cloud.   A deep-rooted cyber security culture is crucial, and it goes as far back as the hiring process… 10 years ago, a typical hiring process consisted of working your way through a checklist, hiring individuals based solely on a CV. Today, the ‘Simon Sinek’ culture is gaining more prevalence, with employers realizing that hiring the right person, rather than the CV, can have immeasurable benefits for business. Ryan will talk about why this is particularly true within the cyber security sphere, and why business leaders should follow this particular ‘Simon Sinek’ strategy to build a successful security operation, and s
