Down the Security Rabbithole Podcast (DtSR)

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR: On this week's episode of the podcast, James joins me to co-host a great episode with an old friend - Ray Emerly. Ray is a long-time veteran of the CISO chair, and no stranger to working at all aspects of the security leadership role. We talk through a number of important topics, ask him what's changed (and what hasn't) and of course we have a stumper at the end. Listen to the end, or you'll miss a golden nugget.   Guest Raymond Umerly LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rumerley/    Watch the Video on our YouTube channel https://youtube.com/live/x1trGIgZSF0 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

Nate Smolenski joins us to discuss his view, from the perspective of a CISO. This is a great conversation for those who are still investigating Cyber Insurance, or realizing that their policies are astronomical, or trying to right-size their security program along with insurance.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!** This episode is being re-published due to an issue with the RSS feed/provider ** TL;DR: This week I brought on David Barton the CTO of HighWire Networks - who knows a few things about a few things. We discuss the complex nature of our business, where things get weird, and how we can work to make them better. We talk about complexity, specifically, and what makes this such a difficult thing for our industry where simple is the arch-enemy of secure.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR It's been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I feel like this applies to SBOM so much it's scary. All the good intentions in the world seemed to have led us to a place where we have tools that produce inconsistent results, tool sets that aren't necessarily integrated or mission-focused to deliver results, and a lot of confusion. Varun joins us with a boatload of entrepreneurial expertise and an eye for problem-solving so it's an interesting conversation. Join Rafal & James in a conversation that you'll want to listen to a few times, and take notes.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR: This DtSR podcast brings back a good friend of the show, and one of the most experienced leaders I know - Mr. Jim Tiller. We talk about an interesting topic - the "virtual CISO". vCISO is interesting because as markets tighten, and it becomes more difficult to find and afford good CISOs and security leaders in this market. So how can a company best utilize this part-time resource? We discuss... What are the best ways to utilize vCISO? What questions should you be asking? What are things to look out for?

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR: I'm extremely excited to present to you, dear listeners and friends, a wonderful conversation with Sergio Caltagirone, who is quite the authority on 'threat intelligence' - where others talk tools and limited knowledge, Sergio literally was there at the birth of the cyber dawn of the threat intelligence operations we know (or don't know) today. Sergio has been at an agency, at Microsoft, at Dragos - and he knows threat intelilgence from theory to applications. Listen in, learn a bit, and laugh along as the Chinese spy baloon (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) disrupts our communications with our pal, Sergio.

The podcast discusses the evolution and challenges of incident response automation, the merging of software systems for improved security, the importance of data correlation and XDR in cybersecurity incidents, the Defend ontology in cybersecurity defense strategies, and concludes with casual conversations and farewells.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR A few days ago, my pal Kevin asked me if I had seen the LinkedIn post by Helen Patton that asked an interesting question of the podcast space... Her post made me think - why the heck not? So, I did. Thanks to Helen, whose idea this was - I hope you get a chance to watch and enjoy the outcome of your request ... we had far too much fun recording it. Here on this episode - which I promise you is 100x better on video, we have Anton Chuvakin, Kevin Thompson, and Jeff Collins joining Rafal & James on the podcast to have a little fun and ask "ChatGPT" some questions. Anton drove the screen share, and we had a lot of fun. I have to wonder - how did some of those answers (you'll know when you see/hear them) make it on there. Holy cow... wow.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR On this episode, we welcome Josh Grossman - who has a pretty interesting perspective on AppSec, or Software Security, or (cringe) "DevSecOps". Josh has a bit of an edge on the subject, so he fits in with myself & James perfectly. We talk about where things stand from the vendor perspective, building programs, and why it takes to make a real impact, versus continuing to push a very large boulder up a very steep hill. Oh, hey, want to be on the show? Let us know a topic and your background and let's talk.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR This week on 2023's first live-streamed episode (technical our first recorded in '23) our friend Larry Whiteside, Jr. joins us to talk about the prospects for 2023 and beyond. We discuss trends, make some rather sad predictions, and attempt to be hopeful about what the new year could bring us - if we don't find a way to walk ourselves off a cliff, first. It's a light discussion, that dives into some deep topics, and ultimately ends with some hope... 'ish. Join us!
