Episode notes
Spice Rack of Security Tools
- Rich Campagna uses a kitchen spice rack analogy to illustrate the complexity of managing numerous security tools.
- Searching for the right security control among 83 different tools is as frustrating as finding rosemary in a cluttered spice rack.
Misconfiguration Causes Incidents
- Complexity and misconfiguration cause most security incidents, not lack of efficacy.
- Managing many disparate tools overwhelms teams and creates gaps attackers exploit.
Vet AI Models Carefully
- Vet AI models and datasets carefully before integrating them into applications.
- Unvetted models can leak sensitive information or introduce vulnerabilities into your systems.
