LLMs are helping devs write code, but is it secure code? How are LLMs helping appsec teams? Keith Hoodlet returns to talk about where he's seen value from genAI, where it fits in with tools like source code analysis and fuzzers, and where its limitations mean we'll be relying on humans for a while. Those limitations don't mean appsec should dismiss LLMs as a tool. It means appsec should understand how things like context windows might limit a tool's security analysis to a few files, leaving a security architecture review to humans.

What does a mature SecOps team look like? There is pressure to do more with less staff, increase efficiency and reduce costs. JP Bourget's experience has led him to believe that the answer isn't a tool upgrade, it's better planning, architecture, and process. In this interview, we'll discuss some of the common mistakes SecOps teams make, and where to start when building the SOC of the future. It feels like forever ago, but in the mid-2010s, we collectively realized, as an industry, that prevention was never going to be enough. Some attacks were always going to make their way through. Then ransomware got popular and really drove this point home. Detection engineering is a tough challenge, however. Where do we start? Which attacks should we build detections for? How much of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix do we need to cover? How often do these detections need to be reviewed and updated? Wait, are any of our detections even working? In this interview with Michael Mumcuoglu, we'll discuss where SecOps teams get it wrong. We'll discuss common pitfalls, and strategies for building more resilient and effective detections. Again, as an industry, we need to understand why ransomware attacks keep going unnoticed, despite attackers using routine techniques and tools that we see over and over and over again. Session Resources: Rethinking Threat Exposure Management: A Unified Approach to Reducing Risk This week, JP Bourget from Blue Cycle is with us to discuss Building the SOC of the Future Then, Michael Mumcuoglu (Moom-cuoglu) from CardinalOps joins us to talk about improving detection engineering.

Organizations continue to suffer from security breaches, too many of which contain a human element. But there’s no consistent definition of the risk posed by human-related breaches, and recommendations are often limited to security awareness and training (SA&T). Understanding the depth and breadth of human-related breaches is critical to implementing adequate security controls within organizations. Jinan Budge, Research Director at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss their Best Practice Report on Deconstructing Human-Element Breaches. Jinan will cover the breadth of human-related breaches, including: Social Engineering Human Error Loss/Theft of Physical Assets Social Media Compromise Insider Risk Deep Fake Scams Gen AI Misuse Narrative Attacks and why Security and Awareness Training is not the sole answer to solving human-related breaches. Join us, this discuss may get a little dicey.

In this discussion, cybersecurity expert Josh Marpet shares insights into the latest threats like ransomware and the malicious BruteD tool. He humorously critiques the integration of AI in medicine and its implications for cybersecurity. The dangers of OAuth vulnerabilities, including phishing risks, are dissected, highlighting the need for robust security measures. Marpet also advocates for automating third-party risk management to alleviate the burden on security professionals, addressing the ongoing challenges in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The crypto world is rife with smart contracts that have been outsmarted by attackers, with consequences in the millions of dollars (and more!). Shashank shares his research into scanning contracts for flaws, how the classes of contract flaws have changed in the last few years, and how optimistic we can be about the future of this space.

Penetration tests are probably the most common and recognized cybersecurity consulting services. Nearly every business above a certain size has had at least one pentest by an external firm. Here's the thing, though - the average ransomware attack looks an awful lot like the bog standard pentest we've all been purchasing or delivering for years. Yet thousands of orgs every year fall victim to these attacks. What's going on here? Why are we so bad at stopping the very thing we've been training against for so long? This Interview with Phillip Wylie will provide some insight into this! Spoiler: a lot of the issues we had 10, even 15 years ago remain today. Segment resources: Phillip's talk, Optimal Offensive Security Programs from Dia de los Hackers last fall It takes months to get approvals and remediate cloud issues. It can take months to fix even critical vulnerabilities! How could this be? I thought the cloud was the birthplace of agile/DevOps, and everything speedy and scalable in IT? How could cloud security be struggling so much? In this interview we chat with Marina Segal, the founder and CEO of Tamnoon - a company she founded specifically to address these problems.
