DtSR Episode 291 - A New Perspective On Endpoint (Nyotron)

Send the hosts a message - try it now![This week's episode and fantastic discussion on endpoint security is sponsored by Nyotron]. DtSR listeners already know we don't do advertisements or traditional sponsorship - so when we bring in a sponsored guest it's because we believe the topic is interesting and the guests have a genuinely interesting point of view. On that note... The topic this week is the endpoint. Yes, the endpoint - the place where security started, and was subsequently abandoned, and reborn. Whether you're talking about virtual cloud workloads, laptops or other types of endpoints - we can all agree on the fact that there are too many buzz words, too many tools, and too many 'solutions' to the various ailments of the endpoint. This week we dive down the rabbit hole with Rene and Nir, from Nyotron, to hear their unique perspective and get an understanding on why they think their approach to this very difficult problem is worthy of your time. I invite you to give this episode a listen, as it's a bit of a pilot for us. If you all enjoy it, we will do 1-2 of these per quarter ... if the audience votes that these add no value, we will give it more thought. If you're coming out to RSA 2018, come see demos of live attacks (including Rubber Ducky) and learn more about Nyotron's technology at the RSA Conference - South Hall, booth #1639. More information on Nyotron which we invite you to check out are here:  Nyotron's latest OilRig report - https://nyotron.com/oilrig/ Background on Nyotron's technology - https://nyotron.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Nyotron-Positive-White-Paper_1-10-2018.pdf Endpoint security assessment - https://nyotron.com/bpt/ Don't forget the hashtag #DtSR on Twitter and you can find us on LinkedIn as well!

DtSR Episode 290 - What Ails the CMS

Send the hosts a message - try it now!This week on the Down the Security Rabbithole Podcast, Tony Perez stops by for an early morning chat about the content management systems we in InfoSec love to hate on. We talk about Drupal, Wordpress and all the other CMSes out there that have similar issues.   Highlights from this week's show include... Why start a company that does CMS security (they're hopeless anyway right?) How many of the most popular CMSes are actually not as bad as you may think, security wise The core, the plug-in infrastructure, and plug-ins Finding, responding to, and fixing bugs in the modern software world Guest Tony Perez ( @Perezbox ) - [Tony has perhaps one of the coolest LinkedIn write-ups, so I'm pasting it here.] Tony is a proven business leader and operator. He is a former US Marine (2000 - 2005), and former CEO of Sucuri (2011 - 2017), a website security platform that was acquired by GoDaddy in April 2017. He has proven experience taking a security product from startup to a global, multi-national, organization.  His core competency revolves around: leadership, management, marketing, product position, product pricing, sales, business institutionalization, revenue and organizational strategy.  He believes that our greatest responsibility in sales and marketing is to bridge the gap between the value a customer expects from your product, and the value you assume you are delivering.  He brings with him an intoxicating level of energy, work ethic and passion. Excelling in high-tempo environments, and executing flawlessly against strategies. He is adamant about self-reflection and self-actualization, placing energy on learning his weaknesses and building on them.  He is horrible at spelling, but amazing at motivating people. He is known for challenging people to be better, to strive for more, to never settle for the cards they've been dealt. He was a leader of Marines, and today he's a leader of people, technology and industry.
