Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio)

In this segment, we discuss the current state of the market recovery with Hank Thomas, founder of Strategic Cyber Ventures. We've got market questions, like: What has changed in the last year? Are IPOs coming back any time soon? How large is the cybersecurity death pool? What do early and mid-sized startups need to do to survive in the current market? There is little to no organization of data within companies in 2023. We're all guilty of this at some level. The download folders and desktops on our personal machines are a mess. File servers, and cloud storage services are a mess. In Microsoft's recent data leak, AI researchers even had PC backups stored along side machine learning models for whatever reason. Data is hard to classify, organize, and monitor. By designing for convenience, we've created convenience debt that now has to be paid down. In this segment we talk to Jackie McGuire about what needs to happen to accomplish this, at the enterprise level, and at scale. Even if we can one day address the challenge of tracking and labeling data, we'll still have the challenge of addressing data integrity and resilience, which we'll also discuss if we have time!

The categories of security tools that we're most familiar with have struggled to keep up with how modern apps are designed and what modern devs need. What if instead of being beholden to categories, we created tools that solved problems devs have today in the types of apps they build today? And what if we had more dev leadership to influence security tools as well as secure by design? What would that leadership look like?

As the workforce increasingly relies on the cloud, the browser has become a critical aspect of enterprise security. Employees now use browsers to access data and applications from various devices and locations, making browsers the primary target for cyber attackers. Enterprise browsers are specifically designed to address the security challenges of the modern and complex workforce. According to Gartner, "By 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for delivering workforce productivity and security software on managed and unmanaged devices, ensuring a seamless hybrid work experience." Tune in to a discussion with Chrome Enterprise's Robert Shield, where he discusses the importance of an enterprise browser for modern businesses and shares insights on how to improve browser security.

In the age of remote and hybrid work, employees are now spending most of their time in the browser or virtual meetings, making the browser an increasingly important part of an enterprise's security strategy.

In this interview, we talk to Chad Cardenas about why he created The Syndicate Group, which operates very differently from the typical VC firm with LPs and a collective fund to draw from. We'll discuss how the investor/startup relationship differs, and what the advantages of this model are. This week, we discuss Island's raise, unicorn status, and what that means for both the enterprise browser market and the cybersecurity market in general. We discuss Censys and the state of the external attack surface management market, or what they're trying to call, "exposure management". We discuss the details of the Okta breach in depth, and why we're worried about the larger impact it could have on the industry and vendor trust in general.

Thomas Chauchefoin and Paul Gerste, Sonar Vulnerability Researchers, discuss their research on the security of Visual Studio Code, uncovering ways for attackers to gain code execution. They highlight the risk to developers and the accidental $30,000 bounty they received from Microsoft for these bugs.

We return to discussions of OAuth and all sorts of authentication. This time around we're looking at the design of authentication protocols, the kinds of trade-offs they weigh for adoption and security, and how a standard evolves over time to keep pace with new attacks and put to rest old mistakes.
