DtSR Episode 513 - CSO Perspective on Security Fundamentals

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue "Just do the basics!" "Remember the security fundamentals." ...sick of hearing those catch phrases without anything to actually get it DONE? Yeah, us too. This week we're joined by John Scimone of Dell Technologies to talk about his take on fundamentals both security and IT. His approach is not unique, per se, but it's one that works and it's repeatable. More importantly, he's willing to share his expertise and what he's done to be successful in raising the bar to his level of "good enough" -- so unless you've gotten where YOU want to be in those security fundamentals, it's time to listen to John's podcast and take notes. Take lots of notes.

DtSR Episode 512 - Why is Enterprise Security Program Maturity so Tough?

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue This week, long-time friend and well-known industry personality, Jessica Hebenstreit joins Rafal to talk about her journey in consulting to very large security programs and why maturity is elusive in many of those programs. As it turns out, maturity is influenced by many factors but highly dependent on actually solving problems and being able to show progress. This is an interesting conversation for anyone who wants to understand what's inside the head of a former practitioner who has ventured into the field to help others solve large-scale, complex, problems.

DtSR Episode 509 - The Shift Left Debate

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue James has been talking about "shift left" for a while so when Jeff Williams posted interesting research on LinkedIn - we jumped on an opportunity to have him on the show to talk about the subject. Let's face it, everyone is shifting left, and most of this is just marketing nonsense, but some of it is actually an attempt to push security "earlier" into the cycles - but is that good? Does it even make sense? Jeff kills one of my favorite, go-to, security myths about software security...and a fun discussion ensues. Join us, and maybe add to the conversation!

DtSR Episode 508 - DNS Under Siege, So What?

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue DNS is a big topic, and you may be asking yourself why. Well, as we noted in a recent show ( https://ftwr.libsyn.com/dtsr-episode-504-dns-turns-40 ) DNS is officially middle-aged. And with that middle-age comes some more problems. These issues have caused a situation where it's increasingly evident that DNS needs to evolve, mature, or simply revise (2.0?) itself ... but into what? And why? Listen to Ken Carnesi from DNSFilter who joins James & Rafal to talk about the challenges and the future, and why it's still such a sh*tshow today.

DtSR Episode 507 - Beyond NDR: Of Badguys and Bottlenecks

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue Let's start with NDR - Network Detection and Response - because it's not new, but the discussions lately have been very interesting. Is it still relevant? Does it have a place in today's hybrid and cloud world? Well, in this conversation with Raja Mukerji, co-founder of ExtraHop, Rafal tackles these questions and gets some interesting answers.

DtSR Episode 506 - What the Heck is ASPM

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue As some of you know, I've been either in the AppSec space, or adjacent, since the fairly early days. I built a program at GE a million years ago, and worked selling dynamic web app testing software for many years. If you've been in the space, you can feel a little bit hopeless with all the different options, tools, and advice only to look at the stale OWASP Top 10 and wonder ...why aren't things improving? Matt Rose joins me in a post-RSA conversation about ASPM (Application Security Posture Management), and before you dismiss it as another analyst buzzword, let's talk about why this may actually (and finally) start to solve some of the complex issues around developing, releasing, and maintaining reasonably secure software. This is a space I've been passionate about for a long time, and I feel like everyone should listen to this.
