Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast
Hosted by Sean Martin, CISSP
Have you ever thought that we are selling cybersecurity insincerely, buying it indiscriminately, and deploying it ineffectively?
For cybersecurity to be genuinely effective, we must make it consumable and usable. We must also bring transparency and honesty to the conversations surrounding the methods, services, and technologies upon which businesses rely. If we are going to protect what matters and bring value to our companies, our communities, and our society, in a secure and safe way, we must begin by operationalizing security.
Executives are recognizing the importance of their investments in information security and the value it can have on business growth, brand value, partner trust, and customer loyalty.
Together with executives, lines of business owners, and practitioners, we are Redefining CyberSecurity.

Turning App Deployment Times From Days And Weeks To Hours Or Less | An AppViewX Brand Story With Muralidharan Palanisamy
Helping developers be effective and agile in today's chaotic DevOps' on-premises, containerized, and cloud-enabled world is critical. Doing so in a way that doesn't overload them with too many security tickets, unnecessary tasks, or other operational challenges is also paramount to their success as they work to meet the organization's requirements to build a great product that reaches to market as quickly as possible.Still, while the notion that application security is not necessary is beginning to fade away, the relationship between the AppSec and the DevOps teams needs to be supported by tools, information, and processes that provide assurance to the security team that the right steps are being taken by the engineering team while also enabling the app development team to do what they need to do as they innovate and build the next best thing for the business."We enable the app teams, but at the same time, we secure the environment. And once we do that, we have a successful partnership in getting the whole enterprise secure." ~Muralidharan PalanisamyNote: This story contains promotional content.

After More Than Two Decades, Where Are We On The Road To Better Cyber Defenses? | A Conversation With VC Bob Ackerman | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli
25 years of BlackHat gatherings and related research. 20+ years of venture capital, investments, and mergers & acquisitions dedicated to CyberSecurity. That's a lot of time and presumably a lot of effort and money. So...where do we find ourselves on the road to better cyber defenses?Our guest for this episode is Bob Ackerman. Bob started AllegisCyber nearly 20 years ago with the vision to be the first venture firm to focus 100% on cyber security investing. We are experiencing a third downmarket where Bob has been as a dedicated cyber VC—a distinction shared by a select few—and he has helped hundreds of startups navigate these cycles. The geopolitical landscape, threats to civilian critical infrastructure, and heightened government involvement collectively make this market even more different, uncertain, and riddled with risk for the startups and investors new to the cyber domain. A lot has happened. But a lot has stayed the same as well. Let's explore this a bit during this chat as part of our Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 coverage.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestBob AckermanManaging Director & Founder - AllegisCyber Capital [@AllegisCyber]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-ackerman-a233336/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/BobAckerman____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesForbes Article - New SEC Cybersecurity Reporting Requirements: What Companies Should Know About Regulations: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2022/07/08/new-sec-cybersecurity-reporting-requirements-what-companies-should-know-about-regulationsForbes Article - New SEC Cybersecurity Reporting Requirements: Three Things Companies Need To Do Now: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2022/05/25/new-sec-cybersecurity-reporting-requirements-three-things-companies-need-to-do-now____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/bhdc22spTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network

Aerospace Village At DEF CON 30 | Chats On The Road | A Conversation With Kaylin Trychon | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli
"Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes." - Rex Kramer [Airplane! the movie]It's a lot harder to secure these giant flying computer systems as well. The same is true for pretty much every vessel and communications system represented in the Aerospace Village. Join us and our guest, Kaylin Trychon, as we take a journey into what visitors can expect at this year's village.About the Aerospace VillageAerospace is a cornerstone of our global infrastructure and economy. While passenger safety is at an all-time high, the increasing adoption of connected technologies exposes aircraft, airports, satellites, and the interdependent aerospace ecosystem to new types of risks. The consequences of cybersecurity failure in a ground, air, or space-based system can impact human life and public safety; a crisis of confidence in the trustworthiness of air travel can undermine economic and (inter)national security.MISSION: Build, inspire, and promote an inclusive community of next-generation aerospace cybersecurity expertise and leaders.VALUES: The aerospace industry, security researchers, and the public share a common goal: safe, reliable, and trustworthy aviation and space operations.GOAL: The Aerospace Village is a diverse community of hackers, engineers, pilots, policy leaders and more from across both the public and private sectors. We believe the flying public deserves safe, reliable, and trustworthy air travel, which is highly dependent on secure aviation and space operations.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestKaylin TrychonCommunications Director at the Aerospace Village [@SecureAerospace]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaylintrychon/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/KaylinTrychon____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesAerospace Village DEF CON Schedule: https://aerospacevillage.org/events/upcoming-events/def-con-30/Aerospace Village website: https://aerospacevillage.org/On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/aerospace-village/At DEF CON: https://forum.defcon.org/node/240500____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/bhdc22spTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network

From Hackathon To Hacked: Web3’s Security Journey | Chats On The Road | A Conversation With Nathan Hamiel | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli
Web3 is a live experiment that is happening now. Around us. To us. By us. How will it affect privacy and security? Let's find out.In this conversation with Black Hat speaker, Nathan Hamiel, we explore the definition and promise of Web3 and its impact — positive and negative — on society.About the Session "From Hackathon to Hacked: Web3's Security Journey": If there's one prediction you can make with certainty, it's that security in the Web3/blockchain space will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. We have the perfect cocktail of inexperience mixed with emerging technology playing out in full public view with large sums at stake and the permanence of immutable transactions. The result is predictable. An environment free from constraints can seem like an innovation paradise, but when the stakes are so high, you have to get everything right the first time because there may not be a next time. We tend to forget that what we see from this space are experiments playing out in production, and the time between exploitation and losing millions of dollars worth of value can be measured in seconds. So, how did we get here? Is it all doom and gloom? What can be done?This talk is a grounded look at the factors contributing to the security failures we've witnessed, free from the hype and hatred associated with the space. We look at the similarities and differences between the development of this new technology and more traditional applications and how some of the attacks manifested. Better testing and tools aren't enough to solve the problem. We discuss actionable steps projects and chains can use today to address these issues and make the ecosystem safer for projects and users.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestNathan HamielSenior Director of Research at Kudelski Security [@KudelskiSec]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanhamiel/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/nathanhamiel____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesSession | From Hackathon to Hacked: Web3's Security Journey: https://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/index.html#from-hackathon-to-hacked-webs-security-journey-26692Kudelski Security Research Blog: https://research.kudelskisecurity.com/____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/bhdc22spTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network
