Fortra's Core Security has conducted it's fourth annual survey of cybersecurity professionals on the usage and perception of pen testing. The data collected provides visibility into the full spectrum of pen testing’s role, helping to determine how these services, tools, and skills must evolve.   Segment Resources:  https://www.fortra.com/resources/guides/2023-pen-testing-report   This segment is sponsored by Fortra's Core Security. Visit https://securityweekly.com/fortracoresecurity to learn more about them!   Compliance with cyber security frameworks such as NIST, PCI, HIPAA, etc. have largely been driven by paper-based processes in Word and Excel. With the rise of cloud computing, containers, and ephemeral systems, paper-based processes can no longer keep up with the speed of business and compliance has become the new bottleneck to progress for highly regulated industries such as government, finance, and energy sector. This session will cover how RegScale is leading a RegOps movement to bring the principles of DevOps to compliance with the world’s first real-time GRC system that enables compliance as code via NIST OSCAL. RegOps seeks to shift compliance left to make it real-time, continuous, and complete so that paperwork is always up to date, self-updating, and takes less manual resources to manage.  Segment Resources: Website – https://www.regscale.com Documentation/Learn More – https://regscale.readme.io   In this news segment, we discuss the art of branding/naming security companies, some new cars just out of stealth, 5 startups just out of Y Combinator, and Cybereason's $100M round from Softbank. We also talk new features (Semgrep's new GPT-4 use case), new newsletters, and new reports. We break down Nexx's broken vulnerability disclosure program and its broken products. We also discuss the FDA's new ability to block device certification for security reasons. Android announces rules to make it easier for consumers to delete accounts and remove data when they uninstall apps. IT and Security professionals everywhere are asked not to report breaches, but in some countries more than others. CISOs are more prone to drinking problems, and finally, for our squirrel stories, we discuss a crazy app called Newnew and new ideas in prosthetics.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

So much of the tech world went remote at the start of the pandemic, and many of those jobs (and engineers) show no sign of ever going back into an office. Building successful teams in this environment takes a different approach, one defined by autonomy and trust. In this segment, Nickolas Means, VP of Engineering at Sym, will share insights from more than a decade of leading distributed teams to help us all thrive in a world where distributed is the new normal.   The White House recently revealed their National Cybersecurity Strategy and its 5 pillars. Some is straightforward - some is more controversial. Josh helped with it and wrote a blog about it. Adrian read that post and asked Josh to come discuss it. So here we are.

The CI/CD pipeline is the backbone of the software development process, so it's critical to ensure you are meeting and exceeding the most critical security measures. Throughout this podcast, Tal Morgenstern, Co-founder and CSO of Vulcan Cyber, will break down the process of how organizations can properly secure a CI/CD pipeline into a checklist of four key steps, as well as offer a handful of tools and tactics security leadership can use to bake risk-based vulnerability management into their CI/CD pipelines. He will explain how securing your CI/CD pipelines alone is not enough to reduce the chances of cyber attacks and the importance for organizations to not only maintain security at speed and scale, but quality at speed and scale. Finally, Tal will dive into how Vulcan Cyber helps organizations to streamline security tasks in every stage of the cyber-risk management process, integrating with their existing tools for true end-to-end risk management.

Why do defenders still struggle to detect attacks and attacker activities? Why do so many tools struggle to detect attacks? Today, we've got an expert on detection engineering to help us answer these questions. Thinkst's Canary and Canarytokens make in catching penetration testers and attackers stupidly simple. Thinkst Labs aims to push these tools even further. Casey will share some of the latest research coming out of labs, and we'll ponder why using deception for detection isn't yet a de facto best practice.

You know SBOMs can help you keep track of your software assets and therefore, their vulnerabilities. Despite even the White House pressing the issue, many vendors aren't forthcoming with SBOMs, and you can't afford to wait. With Tanium's Roland Diaz, we'll discuss the most important considerations when generating your own SBOMs (which is now something their product can also do!). This segment is sponsored by Tanium. Visit https://securityweekly.com/tanium to learn more!   Looking at topics around go-to-market strategy and product management, including: how building products is unique in cybersecurity compared to other industries, what is product-led growth and what shape it takes in security, and how to do it right.

The MSP space has undergone a lot of changes in the past few decades, with the emphasis on security increasing dramatically in the last 5-10 years. We discuss how ConnectWise, which builds and sells solutions to MSPs, has tackled this challenge. We'll be asking questions both from Raffael's point-of-view, selling to MSPs, but also from the customer point-of-view - small to medium businesses with a need to outsource IT and security functions.   Today, we talk to Jim Routh - a retired CISO who survived the job for over 20 years! He'll be sharing some wisdom with us, like how analytics and data science can help detect malicious insiders. Also, more generally, Jim will help us understand how data-science-backed tooling can help move the security market forward and help security teams and programs mature.   Segment Resources:  https://www.reveal.security/resources/whitepapers/   This week in the Enterprise News: Deepwatch Announces $180 Million in Investments, VulnCheck Raises $3.2 Million to Solve Prioritization Challenge for Enterprise, Government and Cybersecurity Solution Providers, Zscaler to Acquire Israeli Startup Canonic Security, Palo Alto Q2 Fiscal Year 2023 Earnings Call, Tech’s hottest new job: AI whisperer.

It's another holiday week, so enjoy this episode from the ESW archives!   The cloud and SaaS were supposed to make things easier, simpler, more scalable. Arguably, they _have_ done all those things, but traditional, legacy networks linger. Migrations are messy and take time. Nearly everything is encrypted in transit by default. Today, we interview Marty Roesch, the creator of Snort and founder of SourceFire, to discuss how things have changed and what defenders can do to catch up and restore some order to the madness. We'll step through some history along the way - listeners might be surprised at how much our current situation mirrors the reasons behind why Marty created Snort in the first place.

Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.  Segment Resources:  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/videos/when-use-pen-testing-red-teaming-or-both?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/guides/complete-guide-layering-offensive-security?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/datasheets/offensive-security-advanced-bundle?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly   This segment is sponsored by Fortra.
