Enterprise Security Weekly (audio)

In the Enterprise Security News This week: more layoff announcements than funding announcements! Krit acquired by GreyNoise, Incident Response in AWS is different, Awesome open source projects for SecOps folks, Tyler Shields can’t wait to talk about Product Led Growth, Forcing open source maintainers to use MFA, Twilio - the breach that keeps on pwning, The US Governments earmarks $15.6 BILLION for cybersecurity and we hear vendors salivating already, & more!   Security training isn't just about anti-phishing and security awareness for employees. When reading through breach details, a similar picture often emerges: the people were there, the tools were in place, but the people didn't know how to use the tools effectively. Every day, security tools catch attacks, but it doesn't matter if a human doesn't notice and tools are in 'monitor only' modes. This segment is sponsored by RangeForce.

The new category of Data Security Posture Management, what is it and why it's important. Discussing real customer stories where DSPM products played a critical role in helping companies secure their data.   Since the dawn of the internet, companies have been fighting cyber vulnerabilities with a myriad of traditional technologies. And assigning cybersecurity training to people without really knowing its effectiveness or being able to tell the difference between knowledge and behavior. This is why AwareGO created the Human Risk Assessment. Designed by behavioral and cybersecurity experts, it allows organizations to measure human risk and resilience across a number of critical cybersecurity threat vectors. It measures cyber risks connected to social media that are not only personal but can affect the workplace as well. It helps assess awareness of secure password handling with multiple interactive experiences and situations. And it allows you to discover how employees would deal with tricky situations around th

Identity management has become a central pillar of many organizations’ security policies and architecture. In this executive interview, Ping Identity Senior Product Marketing Manager Zain Malik analyzes two heavily trending corners of the identity market: passwordless technology and customer identity and access management (or CIAM). This one-on-one session will address topics such as biometrics and QR code-based authentication, and how to determine which customer identity solution is right for each particular consumer touchpoint.   In March 2022, the SEC proposed new rules governing the reporting of cybersecurity incidents. This session will explore how businesses will be affected by this and similar legislation and provide tips to compliance and technical teams alike.

This week, we start off the show by welcoming Ryan Fried to discuss how Security analysts can move past traditional Indicators of Compromise from threat intel like domains, hashes, URLs, and IP addresses. These indicators typically aren't valid shortly after the incidents happen. Modern threat hunting by doing things like reading recent and relevant security articles, pull out behaviors that attackers are doing like commands such as net group "domain admins" or RDPing from workstation to workstation and translating those to threat hunting queries. Then, Joeseph Carson joins to discuss following in the footsteps of an attacker and uncovering their digital footprints, this episode will uncover an attacker’s techniques used and how they went from zero to full domain admin compromise, which resulted in a nasty ransomware incident. It will also cover general lessons learned from Ransomware Incident Response. Finally, in the Enterprise Security News, Normalyze and Flow Security raise money to protect data, Axio and
