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 511 - Managing Technical Teams

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue This week on the podcast, the one and only Tom Eston joins Rafal & James to talk about managing teams. Tom is a well-known personality who runs the "Shared Security Show" podcast -- which has been running even longer than we have, give them a listen if you don't already. Tom talks about the difficulties of managing, coping with various types of personalities, and helping employees thrive while finding the right balance between in-office and remote. Great show if you're in a leadership position, or hoping to be, managing technical teams.

DtSR Episode 510 - The Big Services Discussion - Part 1

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue It's always a pleasure to have someone on the show who is an expert in their trade, someone who has experience, expertise, and depth of understanding like few others. In this case, James and I host Jim tiller - one of the people I consider a mentor and long-time friend, who is all of those things and more.

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. For those of you who have followed for a while - I have a surprise reveal for you at the end.Support 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

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.

Also, you'll get some clips in here from some of the interviews from the show as Rafal caught up with some interesting vendors, old friends, and even some poetry.

DtSR Episode 504 - DNS Turns 40

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue In this RSA conference-themed episode, I bring on Jonathan Barnett from OpenText Security Solutions to discuss DNS turning 40 years old. Yeah, it was originally invented in 1983 y'all. As DNS turns 40, some of the lingering problems are getting worse, some of the new solutions open up other problems, and we're all about solutions here so we tackle some of the things Jonathan is doing to address the issues. Interesting episode to ponder, and reflect on, as DNS turns 40 years old next year and we try and figure out "now what?"

DtSR Episode 500 - Looking Back to Look Forward in Tech - Part 3

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue This is a bonus episode for the Episode 500 live-stream we did. I brought together Crowdstrike, OpenText, and Netskope technologists to talk about the technology they've worked with over the last 10 years, where it stands today, and what the future outlook looks like. It's a fascinating conversation from some of the most common vendors out there in security - and you're probably using or relying on their platforms -- so it makes sense to get their take on the past, present, and future of technology in our industry. Special thanks to Adam, Grayson, and Mark for taking the time out and sharing their expertise!
