It's CyberSecurity Awareness Month and this year's theme, set by CISA, is See Yourself in Cyber. We're going to take some liberties in the interpretation of this to talk about the lines blurring between personal and work accounts and devices. We'll also discuss MFA risks - what types of MFA are safe to use, and which aren't in 2022? This segment is sponsored by Tanium. Visit https://securityweekly...

Cybersecurity is now battling a human problem just as much, if not more, than a technical one. According to Verizon's 2021 Data Breach Security Report, 85% of successful cyberattacks now involve a human element. Combine that with the fact that even the very best technology can only thwart about 93% of attacks and that leaves a large hole in an organization's basic security hygiene. This has led to...

This is a recurring segment, in which we bring on a VC to provide an investor's point-of-view on all this activity.

In this segment, we'll discuss how the attack happened. We'll go over the controls that failed, why they failed, and what Uber could have done to prevent or detect this attack. For those listening live, ques...

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is not your dad's DLP. This new category has emerged to tackle one of the toughest areas of security: protecting data. Today, Jonathan Roizin from Flow Security helps us understand what this new security category is all about and how it differs from the OG, false positive heavy DLP we'd all rather forget.

From its origins a decade ago, the grassroots movement to enshrine in law the right to repair our stuff (read: cell phones, laptops, home appliances, cars, machinery) has morphed into a potent, global movement. Today, much of the debate over right to repair laws has focused on issues like concentrations of market power by large corporations and anti-competitive behavior with regard to service and...

Security training isn't just about anti-phishing and security awareness for employees. When reading through breach details, a similar picture often emerges: the people were there, the tools were in place, but the people didn't know how to use the tools effectively. Every day, security tools catch attacks, but it doesn't matter if a human doesn't notice and tools are in 'monitor only' modes. This s...

In 2023, at least five new "rights-based" data privacy laws will become enforceable in the United States at the state level, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

These indicators typically aren't valid shortly after the incidents happen. Modern threat hunting by doing things like reading recent and relevant security articles, pull out behaviors that attackers are doing like commands such as net group "domain admins" or RDPing...
