In Search of Secure Design - ASW #325

We have a top ten list entry for Insecure Design, pledges to CISA's Secure by Design principles, and tons of CVEs that fall into familiar categories of flaws. But what does it mean to have a secure design and how do we get there? There are plenty of secure practices that orgs should implement are supply chains, authentication, and the SDLC. Those practices address important areas of risk, but only indirectly influence a secure design. We look at tactics from coding styles to design councils as we search for guidance that makes software more secure.

Soft skills for engineers - Evgeniy Kharam, Paul Nguyen - ESW #401

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited. Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach? We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills. Segment Resources: https://www.softskillstech.ca/ Order the Book You might know them from their excellent research work on groups like Scattered Spider, or their refreshing branding/marketing style, but Permiso is laying some impressive groundwork for understanding and defending against identity and cloud-based attacks. In this interview, we talk with co-founder and co-CEO Paul Nguyen about understanding the threats against some of cybercriminals' favorite attack surface, insider threats, and non-human identity compromise. Segment Resources: This blog post from our threat research team on Scattered Spider shows how threat actors move laterally in an environment across identity providers, Iaas, PaaS and SaaS environments, and how this lateral movement ultimately creates blind spots for many security teams This great talk by Ian Ahl, from fwd:cloudsec 2024, touches on a lot of great TTPs used by attackers in IDPs and in the cloud Another blog, When AI Gets Hijacked: Exploiting Hosted Models for Dark Roleplaying and another, What Security Teams Can Learn From The Rippling/Deel Lawsuit: Intent Lies in Search Logs This week, in the enterprise security news, we check the vibes we check the funding we check runZero’s latest release notes tons of free tools! the latest TTPs supply chain threats certs won’t save you GRC needs disruption the latest Rippling/Deel drama All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

Avoiding Appsec's Worst Practices - ASW #324

We take advantage of April Fools to look at some of appsec's myths, mistakes, and behaviors that lead to bad practices. It's easy to get trapped in a status quo of chasing CVEs or discussing which direction to shift security. But scrutinizing decimal points in CVSS scores or rearranging tools misses the opportunity for more strategic thinking. We satirize some worst practices in order to have a more serious discussion about a future where more software is based on secure designs.
