Streamline Your Cybersecurity with Flare Here: https://try.flare.io/unsupervised-learning/ In this conversation, I speak with Jason Haddix, founder of Arcanum Security and CISO at Flare.

Challenges of Credential Theft and Advanced Malware Techniques:How adversaries utilize tools like the RedLine Stealer malware to gather credentials, cookies, and other sensitive information, and this stolen data enables attackers to bypass authentication protocols, emphasizing the need for comprehensive exposure management. Jason's Journey To Founding Arcanum & Arcanum's Security Training Programs:How Jason now advises on product development and threat intelligence as Flare's CISO and his journey to fund Arcanum, a company focused on red teaming and cybersecurity, and Arcanum's specialized training programs focusing on offensive security and using AI in security roles.  And more Introduction to the Podcast (00:00:00)Guest Excitement on Podcast (00:00:20)Jason's New Business and Flare Role (00:00:24)Career Shift from Ubisoft to Red Teaming (00:01:02)Evolution of Adversary Tactics (00:02:04)Flare's Credential Exposure Management (00:02:58)Synergy Between Arcanum and Flare(00:03:55)Dark Web Credential Compromise (00:04:45)Challenges with Two-Factor Authentication (00:06:25)Cookie Theft and Unauthorized Access (00:07:39)Redline Malware and Its Impact (00:08:12)Flare's Research Capabilities (00:09:50)Potential for Advanced Malware Detection (00:11:40)Expansion of Threat Intelligence Services (00:12:15)Vision for a Unified Security Dashboard (00:13:25)Integrating Threat Intelligence with Identity Management (00:14:00)Credential Update Notifications via API (00:15:54)Automated Credential Management Potential (00:17:28)AI Features in Security Platforms (00:17:32)Exploration of Automated Security Responses (00:18:38)Introduction to Arcanum Security (00:19:25)Overview of Arcanum Training Courses (00:20:25)Necessity for Up-to-Date Training (00:22:15)Guest Experts in Training Sessions (00:23:08)Upcoming Features for Flare (00:25:11)Integrating Vulnerability Management (00:28:08)Accessing Flare's Free Trial (00:28:25)Learning More About Arcanum (00:29:09)Become a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode, "How My Projects Fit Together," is a follow-up to a previous post called "What I Am Doing & How It's Going". Here, Daniel Miessler addresses the most commonly asked questions: "I see all your projects, but what are they? How are they related?" He takes an individual look at his various projects (Substrate, Fabric, Telos, Daemon, and Human 3.0) and then how they work together to tackle big issues such as the lack of purpose and meaning in people's lives, preparing people for the impact of AI in society, and the need for holistic human development.
