In our first segment: the PSW hosts drop valuable insight on how to start your own journey into reverse engineering hardware! Resources we mentioned: The Hardware Hackers Handbook is a great start Do a badge challenge: https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research-blog/an-introduction-to-hardware-hacking Take some classes Do some Arduino stuff: https://www.arduino.cc/ Take free courses on electrical engineering: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-01sc-introduction-to-electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-i-spring-2011/ (And here: https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSQf3iuluYo&list=PLoFdAHrZtKkhcd9k8ZcR4th8Q8PNOx7iU) Building a lab - The list: Soldering iron (and tools and parts such as Solder, Flux, Tweezer, Soldering wick, Cutter, Wire stripper) Hot air rework station (can be bundled with soldering iron) Multi-meter (and lots of associated cables) Jumper and pinout wires Breadboard USB microscope Bench power supply Specific lighting (e.g. my document camera has an LED light that works great) Magnification - magnifying lenses and a headset (esp. if you are old, like us) USB serial devices (or Bus Pirate if you fancy) Then, in the Security News: Windows 11 tries to fix legacy authentication, Rapid resets and the world’s largest DDoS attack, we finally get to see the cURL vulnerability, and its pretty ugly, turns out Android TV boxes with pre-installed malware are a hot topic, patch your Netscaler, root for everyone with emergency responder software, learn THIS hacking Tools First, long live Wayland, how to actually hack a WiFi device with a Flipper Zero, scanning open source packages, GNOME bugs and a bonus, security is a great idea until there is a bypass in apparmor,a tool that everyone should have in their kit, and we could talk for hours about 25 hard hitting lessons from Cybersecurity!

What if all these recommendations to shift left were more about shifting focus? It's all too easy to become preoccupied with vulns, whether figuring out how to find them earlier in the SDLC or spending time fixing them within specific number of days. Successful DevSecOps approaches can be so much more than just vulns and so much more than just tools. Sure, tools are useful for identifying known vulns in dependencies and new vulns in code, but teams that emphasize people and culture will find it easier to shift their attention to the security of their product and creating secure designs. In the news, anticipating Curl's upcoming patch for a high severity flaw, the Looney Tunables flaw in Glibc, ShellTorch flaw hits PyTorch and lots of AI, lessons from some X.Org security patches, and more!

CEOs and boards struggle with their digital transformation process. Does their operations hinder or align with business initiatives? Has their security operations scaled to meet the data and digital demands to protect against business risk? In today’s episode, we’re talking to Chris Morales, CISO at Netenrich, who’ll provide compelling insights towards security transformation. Security organizations all face similar security challenges of too much data, siloed teams, underperforming legacy tools, and time-consuming and laborious threat investigation work. We’ll discuss the approach enterprises need to consider in advancing their security maturity. It’s one that’s data-driven, adaptive, and predictive. In the leadership and communications section, The Data Your Board Actually Wants to Hear About When Valuing Cybersecurity Investments, Cybersecurity is a CFO issue, Must-know insights when navigating the CISO career path, and more!

In this segment, we'll explore some of the most useful lessons and interesting insights to come out of the last year's worth of breaches and data leaks! We'll explain why we will NOT be covering MGM in this segment. The breaches we will be covering include: - Microsoft AI Research Data Leak - Microsoft/Storm-0558 - CommutAir - Riot Games - Lastpass - CircleCI - RackSpace - Drizly (yes, this breach is older, but the full story just wrapped a year ago!) On this week's news segment, we go down a bit of a rabbit hole on data lakes and have a GREAT conversation about where security data wrangling might or might not go in the future. We also discuss Nord Security's funding and $3B valuation, try to figure out what Synqly is doing, and discuss IronNet's demise. We also find out which email solution is more secure (at least, according to insurance claim data), Google or Microsoft!  We wrap up, learning that forms of CAPTCHAs are apparently broken now, $3800 gets you a gaming PC in the shape of a sneaker, and someone has created the DevOps equivalent of dieselgate! Each employee serves as a potential gateway to their organization, and the personal information of your workforce is readily accessible and exposed on the internet, making the organization susceptible to threats. DeleteMe is the solution that locates and eliminates personal data from the open web, safeguarding your organization. This segment is sponsored by DeleteMe. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/deletemeisw to learn more about them! With all of the fancy tools, equipment, and logos most organizations are unable to understand where their data is and how it can be accessed. In the world of work from wherever and whenever orgs need a better handle on what this means.  Ridge has worked to curate a set of solutions to meet and implement this need! This segment is sponsored by Ridge IT Cyber. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/ridgeitisw to learn more about them! Why are we seeing a re-emergence of the demand for packet and flow-based forensic data in cloud environments? In this session, we’ll discuss three reasons why IT leaders still need the same if not even better visibility in the cloud than they have in their data centers.  We’ll also discuss the growing demand for Threat Exposure Management (TEM). Why does a leading analyst describe this as a transformation technology and how can you quickly visualize your environment the way the attackers do?  Segment Resources: https://www.viavisolutions.com/en-us/ptv/solutions/threat-exposure-management https://www.viavisolutions.com/en-us/ptv/solutions/high-fidelity-threat-forensics-remediation This segment is sponsored by VIAVI Solutions.

Communication is a skill that doesn't appear on top 10 lists, rarely appears as a conference topic, and doesn't appear enough on job requirements. Yet communication is one of the critical ways that security teams influence developers, convey risk, and share knowledge with others. Even our own Security Weekly site falls a little short with only a podcast category for "Training" instead of more options around communication and collaboration. Lina shares her experience presenting to executives and boards in high-stress situations, as well as training incident responders on real-world scenarios. Segment resources https://training.xintra.org https://www.scmagazine.com/podcast-episode/2839-pointers-and-perils-for-presentations-josh-goldberg-asw-251 In the news segment, attackers impersonate Dependabot commits, an alg of "none" plagues a JWT, CISA calls for hardware bills of materials, OpenSSF lists its critical projects, Exim (finally! maybe?) has some patches, bug bounties and open source projects, and more!
