Since D3FEND was founded to fill a gap created by the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix, it has come a long way. We discuss the details of the 1.0 release of D3FEND with Peter in this episode, along with some of the new tools they've built to go along with this milestone. To use MITRE's own words to describe the gap this project fills: "it is necessary that practitioners know not only what threats a capability claims to address, but specifically how those threats are addressed from an engineering perspective, and under what circumstances the solution would work" Segment Resources: https://d3fend.mitre.org In the enterprise security news, a final few fundings before the year closes out Arctic Wolf buys Cylance from Blackberry for cheap, a sentence that feels very weird to say the quiet HTTPS revolution passkeys are REALLY catching on resilience keeps showing up in the titles of news items Apple Intelligence insults the BBC’s intelligence MITRE ATT&CK evals drama Lastpass breach drama continues All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly As we wrap up the year, we have an honest discussion about how important security really is to the business.

Practices around identity and managing credentials have improved greatly since the days of infosec mandating 90-day password rotations. But those improvements didn't arise from a narrow security view. Hannah Sutor talks about the importance of balancing security with usability, the importance of engaging with users when determining defaults, and setting an example for transparency in security disclosures.

For our second year now, Mike Privette, from Return on Security and the Security, Funded newsletter joins us to discuss the year's highlights and what's to come in the next 12 months. In some ways, it has been a return to form for funding, though some casualties of a tough market likely had to seek acquisition when they might have otherwise raised another round and stayed independent a while longer. We'll cover some stats, talk 2025 IPO market, and discuss the likelihood of (already) being in another bubble, particularly with regards to the already saturated AI security market. It won't be all financial trends though, we'll discuss some of the technical market trends, whether they're finding market fit, and how ~50ish AI SOC startups could possibly survive in such a crowded space. In this segment, we discuss two new FIDO Alliance standards focused on credential portability. Specifically, if passwordless is going to catch on, we need to minimize friction and maximize usability. In practice, this means that passkeys must be portable! Rew Islam of Dashlane joins us to discuss the new standards and how they'll help us enter a new age of secure authentication, both for consumers and the enterprise.
