CISOs struggle more with reactive budgets than CIOs or CTOs. It's not that part of the CISO's budget shouldn't be reactive, it's certainly necessary to an extent. The problem is when proactive measures suffer as a result. In this interview, we'll discuss some of the causes behind this and some strategies for breaking out of this loop.

Today's cyber threat actors are capitalizing on organizations' identity vulnerabilities, such as MFA. Nearly 75% of cloud security failures now result from mismanaged identities, access, and privileges, and the identity attack surface is becoming more challenging to protect as companies expand their cloud environments and supply chains to meet their IT needs. Damon McDougald, Global Cyber Protecti...

Alcatraz AI is doing exactly that with technology that works similarly to how smartphones unlock using your face. It works in the dark, if you shave off your beard, and so quickly you don't even need to slow down for the scan - you can just keep on walk...

Customer Identity is everywhere. It's powering secure experiences for billions - enabling people to check their luggage at the airport, watch their favorite Major League Soccer games, or take their favorite Peloton class. Because it's everywhere, threat actors now see customer identity as a path to financial gain. Bots now make up nearly 50% of all internet traffic and are being used to steal sign...

The vast majority of the folks working polls and elections are volunteers. This creates a significant training challenge. Not only do they have to learn how to perform a complex and potentially stressful job in a short amount of time (most training is one day or less), cybersecurity-related concerns are usually not included for individual poll location and election workers. Kirsten Davies has a pa...

Ever heard someone say, "the attacker only has to be right once, but the defender has to get it right every time"? On this episode, we'll dispel that myth. There is some truth to the saying, but only with regards to initial access to the target's environment. Once on the inside, the attacker's advantage flips to the defender. Call it the 'Home Alone' effect. Or the Goonies effect? Die Hard? So man...

Secure by design is more than just AppSec - it addresses how the whole business designs systems and processes to be effective and resilient. The latest report from LevelBlue on Cyber Resilience reveals security programs that are reactive, ill-equipped, and disconnected from IT and business leaders. Most security problems are out of security teams' hands. Addressing them requires input, buy-in, and...

Aaron was already a skilled bug hunter and working at HackerOne as a triage analyst at the time. What he discovered can't even be described as a software bug or a vulnerability. This type of finding has probably resulted in more security incidents and breaches than any other category: the unintentional misconfiguration. There's a lot of conversation right now about the grey space around 'shared re...

For this interview, Ben from CyberNest joins us to talk about one of my favorite subjects: information sharing in infosec. There are so many amazing skills, tips, techniques, and intel that security professionals have to share. Sadly, a natural corporate reluctance to share information viewed as privileged and private has historically had a chilling effect on information sharing. We'll discuss how...

The way we use browsers has changed, so has the way we need to secure them.

We've been hearing a lot lately about how the talent gap in cybersecurity is much more complex than some folks have been making it out to be. While making six figures after going through a six week boot camp might be overselling the cybersecurity job market a bit, it is definitely a complex space with lots of opportunities. Fortunately, we have folks building passion projects like My Cyber Path. W...

A month ago, my friend Wolfgang Goerlich posted a hot take on LinkedIn that is less and less of a hot take these days. He posted, "our industry needs to kill the phish test" ,and I knew we needed to have a chat, ideally captured here on the podcast. I've been on the fence when it comes to phishing simulation, partly because I used to phish people as a penetration tester. It always succeeded, and a...
