Code scanning is one of the oldest appsec practices. In many cases, simple grep patterns and some fancy regular expressions are enough to find many of the obvious software mistakes. Scott Norberg shares his experience with encountering code scanners that didn't find the .NET vuln classes he needed to find and why that led him to creating a scanner from scratch. We talk about some challenges in testing tools, making smart investments in engineering time, and why working with .NET's compiler made his decisions easier.

Listeners of the show are probably aware (possibly painfully aware) that I spend a lot of time analyzing breaches to understand how failures occurred. Every breach story contains lessons organizations can learn from to avoid suffering the same fate. A few details make today's breach story particularly interesting: It was a Chinese APT Maybe the B or C team? They seemed to be having a hard time Their target was a blind spot for both the defender AND the attacker Segment Resources: https://www.binarydefense.com/resources/blog/shining-a-light-in-the-dark-how-binary-defense-uncovered-an-apt-lurking-in-shadows-of-it/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/18/chinesespiesfoundonushqfirm_network/ Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-393

Spoiler: it's probably in your pocket or sitting on the table in front of you, right now! Modern smartphones are conveniently well-suited for identity verification. They have microphones, cameras, depth sensors, and fingerprint readers in some cases. With face scanning quickly becoming the de facto technology used for identity verification, it was a no-brainer for Nametag to build a solution around mobile devices to address employment scams.

From online banking to mobile payments, nearly every aspect of our financial lives relies on digital systems. This reliance has brought incredible convenience, but it also means that any disruption — whether due to cyberattacks, system failures, or operational incidents— can have severe consequences. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) provides the framework to ensure that financial entities have robust measures to withstand and recover from disruptions. By addressing vulnerabilities in this highly digitized ecosystem, DORA not only protects financial institutions but also safeguards the stability and well-being of the European society as a whole. Madelein van der Hout, Senior Analyst at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why DORA is important, how prepared financial institutions are, the consequences of failing to comply, and the impact these regulations will have outside of the EU, including fines up to 2% of global annual turnover or €10 million—whichever is higher.
