Despite certain economic indicators warning that a recession is on the horizon, investment remains healthy within the security market amid thirst for cloud security, in particular. One such emerging field is data security posture management (DSPM), which aims to bridge the gap between business goals and a comprehensive security mechanism that leaves no data behind as organizations scale in the cloud.   A deep-rooted cyber security culture is crucial, and it goes as far back as the hiring process… 10 years ago, a typical hiring process consisted of working your way through a checklist, hiring individuals based solely on a CV. Today, the ‘Simon Sinek’ culture is gaining more prevalence, with employers realizing that hiring the right person, rather than the CV, can have immeasurable benefits for business. Ryan will talk about why this is particularly true within the cyber security sphere, and why business leaders should follow this particular ‘Simon Sinek’ strategy to build a successful security operation, and secure business, starting directly with the human’s that run it. You will walk away from this session knowing why it is important to employ the right individual rather than the CV, and how adopting this approach can drastically improve how a business responds to and manages security threats, company wide.

Don’t leave the door open. Modern systems are complex and require you to consider many aspects. Here are some aspects we consider critical: - APIs are the dominant software development direction/trend. Traditional/legacy ways to grant access is not fit for purpose of protecting this new way of delivering products and services. - Customers are demanding better digital experiences. To maintain a competitive edge and drive brand loyalty businesses need to provide great online experiences. - Standards (such as OAuth and OpenID Connect) are important to ensure high-security levels. Also enables scalability and helps future-proof your infrastructure. For example in the financial sector, these standards play a key role in the drive toward open banking. - A modern architecture is a zero trust architecture. In a zero trust architecture, the new perimeter hinges on identity.   Segment Resources: https://thenewstack.io/zero-trust-time-to-get-rid-of-your-vpn/ This segment is sponsored by Curity.

Cybersecurity is now battling a human problem just as much, if not more, than a technical one. According to Verizon’s 2021 Data Breach Security Report, 85% of successful cyberattacks now involve a human element. Combine that with the fact that even the very best technology can only thwart about 93% of attacks and that leaves a large hole in an organization’s basic security hygiene. This has led to a growing demand for ongoing educational programs that rely on behavioral science to measure and manage cybersecurity risk as a distinctly different solution from generic, one-size-fits-all training programs.   In the enterprise security news, SentinelOne and Crowdstrike reinvest in the security market, Malwarebytes raises $100M, Ox Security raises a $34M Seed round??? Jamf acquires ZecOps, New startups looking to improve Code Reviews…Outsource questionnaires…provide consumer privacy awareness…Federal security funding for state and local governments, New software supply chain attacks, Microsoft Windows slaps your hand when you try to update passwords.txt, and stick around until the end, when we talk about a New Jersey Deli with a $100M market cap!   This is a recurring segment, in which we bring on a VC to provide an investor’s point-of-view on all this activity. It’s hard to imagine a better investor to join us than Will Lin, co-founder of Forgepoint, one of the few VC firms that exclusively invests in cybersecurity startups. We'll discuss: - How, the last time we had Will on (20 episodes ago, ESW 270), we were asking about huge valuations and potential market resets/corrections. Well, it seems that day arrived. What now? - Crowdstrike and SentinelOne are active investors with their own funds now. Is this a new trend, or are we just now noticing it? What does it mean for the larger market and for founders looking to raise? - We've had guests on to discuss enterprise browsers, and DSPM - what hot markets should we target next?   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!
