Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR:On this week's show, Grant joins us to discuss an episode that draws inspiration from a LinkedIn discussion with Patrick Garrity [original post] (whom could not make our recording, sorry Patrick). The gist of it is this - patching is hard, there are now 925 KEVs (known exploited vulnerabilities) on CISAs list, and that's a truck-ton. The discussion threads the needle between whether prioritization matters at that scale, alternatives, and some reasons to give up hope altogether.Buckle up, this one's a rough one to be a passenger on.Join (or start?) the discussion on the podcast's LinkedIn Page, here.Video stream replay here: https://youtube.com/live/0L2aKUqjmQEGuestGrant SewellLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grantsewell/Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show>>> Please consider clicking the link above to support the show!-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=YouTube home: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyo0dkKRvfVtWXjRxNISrhme1MgBj3C2U&si=scHDiTuLXSEQ9qHqLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/down-the-security-rabbithole-podcast/X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dtsr_podcast

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR:On this week's episode, the one and only Jeff Collins joins Rafal & James to talk about the shift to the cloud and what's gone wrong in the years since the collective "we" announced that the cloud was the answer. Feels like a decade has passed, and I think it has, since the start and we're observing increased complexity and varying degrees of security increase/decrease. What's next? Where are we right now?

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR:Cyber Security seems to always be a technical topic. This week, we're taking it down a different lane as we discuss HR (right, Human Resources, remember those folks?) with Tom Venables. Tom's got seat time in the space, consulting with HR partners for various clients so he knows a thing or two about the processes and where they break down.Listen in, and then go take a look at your own processes.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR:Mark Simos of Microsoft joins Rafal & James this week to talk about why the 'tools-centric' security operations (SecOps) approach is failing us, and what an 'outcome centric' approach means and more importantly, how we get there. We discuss "vision versus execution", the history of "how we got here" and answer some questions we didn't know we had in the process. Mark's a wealth-spring of information on the topic, and his experience and time with the Open Group is huge for the work he's doing now to make tomorrow better for you all.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR:This week on the podcast, my buddy Adam Meyers graciously joins the show from his "undisclosed location" deep under the Meyers compound to break apart the latest threat report. I'm sure you've read it, but if you haven't you can get it at the link below. On this show, Adam and Rafal talk about what's in the report, what's not in the report, and the delta which brings up some interesting things in the evolution of threat actors and "bad guys". It's a podcast you don't want to miss because it feels like it's both a bellwether of what you'll be experiencing in your environments shortly, if you aren't already.Check out the show on our new podcast distribution site (BuzzSprout) and update your RSS feeds if you haven't already.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DRThis week, on the podcast, Rafal and James host Brian Chidester and Jordan Burris to talk about the latest National Cyber Security Strategy from the Biden White House. It's an interesting piece of national policy that outlines our cyber security priorities as a nation - and you'll have to forgive me for calling it "aspirational".The four of us discuss the likelyhood of this strategy ever being fully implemented, which pieces are most likely to work and which ones will struggle, and ultimately what will be the result here.This is an important document - and if you're a defender or serious about cyber security at a national level - you should listen in.YouTube video replay: https://youtube.com/live/O8lePu4ings?feature=shareLinks:White house release: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/03/02/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-announces-national-cybersecurity-strategy/Guests:Brian ChidesterLinked: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abchidester/Jordan BurrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-burris-60588a70/Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show>>> Please consider clicking the link above to support the show!-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=YouTube home: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyo0dkKRvfVtWXjRxNISrhme1MgBj3C2U&si=scHDiTuLXSEQ9qHqLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/down-the-security-rabbithole-podcast/X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dtsr_podcast
