Down the Security Rabbithole Podcast (DtSR)

Prologue Fresh off his presentation at Defcon 2022, Ken Pyle joins Rafal to talk about the Emergency Alert System (EAS) he's been hacking since 2019 and discusses findings, challenges, and the work left to do. It's a fascinating conversation that will leave you wondering - how do we fix this clear and present problem, and more importantly...where else should we be looking?

Prologue This week's guest is always a great interview. Gadi Evron has been around the industry longer than it's been an officially named discipline. In this episode, he talks about post-breach standards and the apparent but not previously discussed need. He also breaks your brain with disinformation, which we only lightly touch on before realizing we need at least one more podcast to go deeper into the topic. Join us, and share this one, it's awesome.   Guest Gadi Evron LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gadievron/  Have something to say?

Prologue We've covered "threat intelligence" on the show a few times now, but the evolving nature of what threat data is, how it's useful, and how it enables defenders of a specific type identify malicious activity keep it interesting. This time around Adam Meyers of CrowdStrike joins Rafal to discuss threat intelligence, threat hunting, and clarifies some of the mis-conceptions and utilities around the topic. A good conversation for those defending their infrastructure and useful data points from someone who is a recognized expert. Adam joins us from his bunker, with all the elements you'd expect from Adam, so it's definitely worth your time to listen closely. Check out Fal.Con, where you can catch the cutting-edge on CrowdStrike kit, industry knowledge, and hear some great industry speakers. Rafal will be there speaking on the topic of operationalizing and making the SOC more effective and efficient at small scale, check it out (link below).

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.

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.

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.

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. Jim is a quintessential expert on cybersecurity services - and in this discussion we push some of the buttons that really get him talking, passionate, and dispensing wisdom. I hope you brought a notepad, because you'll want to be taking notes. This episode is for those out there who work in, or manage, services organizations. Truckloads of information here...

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!

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.

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.Have something to say?
