Check out this interview from the ASW Vault, hand picked by main host Mike Shema! This segment was originally published on April 4, 2023. Following on from her successful title "Container Security", Liz has recently authored "Learning eBPF", published by O'Reilly. eBPF is a revolutionary kernel technology that is enabling a whole new generation of infrastructure tools for networking, observability, and security. Let's explore eBPF and understand its value for security, and how it's used to secure network connectivity in the Cilium project, and for runtime security observability and enforcement in Cilium's sub-project, Tetragon.

Check out this interview from the SWN Vault, hand picked by main host Doug White! This Secure Digital Life segment was originally published on September 25, 2018. This week, Russ takes the reigns in the absence of Dr. Doug to talk about Networking 101! We are going to go back to school to examine how networking and the internet actually work. Russ looks at MAC addresses, IP Addressing (Private/Public), DHCP, routing, and DNS. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/vault-swn-15

Check out this interview from the BSW Vault, hand picked by main host Matt Alderman! This segment was originally published on August 9, 2022. Zero Trust is the security buzzword of the moment, and while it is a very powerful approach, nearly every enterprise security product on the market – and some that aren’t even security products — are saying they enable Zero Trust. The problem is this: you can’t buy zero trust. It’s an approach, an architecture, and a journey, not software, hardware, or a service to deploy. Zero Trust also provides a rare opportunity in security - to reduce cost, improve security AND enhance end-user and customer experience. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/vault-bsw-11

This week, we've got data security being both funded AND acquired. We discuss Lacework's fall from unicorn status and why rumors that it went to Fortinet for considerably more than Wiz was willing to pay make sense. Microsoft Recall and Apple Intelligence are the perfect bookends for a conversation about the importance of handling consumer privacy concerns at launch. How can the Snowflake breach both be one of the biggest breaches ever, but also not a breach at all (for Snowflake, at least). It's time to have a conversation about shared responsibilities, and when the line between CSP and customer needs to shift. The CSA's AI Resilience Benchmark leaves much to be desired (like, an actual usable benchmark) and Greg Linares tells a wild story about how the first Microsoft Office 2007 vulnerability was discovered. Finally, the Light Phone III was announced. Do we finally have a usable minimalist, social media detox-friendly phone option? Will Adrian have to buy one to find out? Several recent trends underscore the increasing importance of Know Your Business (KYB) practices in today's business landscape. One significant trend is the rise in financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing. Technological advancements have transformed the way businesses operate, leading to increased digitization, online transactions, and remote customer interactions. While these developments offer numerous benefits, they also create opportunities for criminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Higher value remote transactions are performed at higher volumes. In addition, government programs such as the PPP program created a need for onboarding business quickly. This created a influx of fraudulent entities and claim who are now exploiting other channels. The convergence of these trends highlights the critical role of KYB in safeguarding businesses, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering trust among stakeholders in today's dynamic and interconnected business environment.

From wrestling with integration complexities to managing unexpected glitches, the realities of SSO implementation can produce very different results than what you want. Are users actually using SSO to login or are they still using the direct logins they gained before enabling SSO? We explore the reasons behind why SSO efficacy isn't always what it seems and what you can do about it. This segment is sponsored by Savvy. Visit https://securityweekly.com/savvyidv for a no cost SaaS-Identity checkup! With identity being the new security perimeter, identity platforms are now an integral part of the core security stack. Inherently these platforms are complex and it takes months and years for organizations to realize the business value. And this is going to get worse. The sheer volume and velocity with which new identity types are being added, as well the sophistication of attacks on identity platforms, requires a transformational shift to Identity security and governance. 50% operational efficiency and delivering security at scale are the two big initiatives which organizations have embarked on. In this session, Vibhuti Sinha, Chief Product Officer of Saviynt will share his insights and discuss how Saviynt is at the forefront of this transformation. This segment is sponsored by Saviynt.

The recent rise in adversarial AI has made it clear: organizations must fight AI with better AI. Gone are the days of relying on legacy, antiquated endpoint detection and response offerings, or cybersecurity tools that are based on ineffective machine learning models. In this interview, Deep Instinct CIO Carl Froggett will explain why Deep Learning is the most superior form of AI, and the technology’s role in powering predictive prevention.

Attackers are targeting enterprise users when they are online via attacks like spear phishing, malicious docs infected with malware/ransomware. Today SASE/SSE’s Secure Web Gateway (SWG) component is touted as the solution to this problem. These SWGs look at traffic between the enterprise users and websites and try to infer attacks. Unfortunately, attackers are subverting these SWGs and breaking into enterprises. There is an urgent need to stop this and the solution seems to be to have a browser native security agent which can detect-mitigate attacks happening on the users browser and allow enterprises to threat hunt web attacks company wide.
