Companies deploy tools (usually lots of tools) to address different threats to supply chain security. Melinda Marks shares some of the chaos those companies still face when trying to prioritize investments, measure risk, and scale their solutions to keep pace with their development. Not only are companies still figuring out supply chain, but now they're bracing for the coming of genAI and how that will just further highlight the current struggles they're having with data security and data privacy.

A hybrid workforce requires hybrid identity protection. But what are the threats facing a hybrid workforce? As identity becomes the new perimeter, we need to understand the attacks that can allow attackers access to our applications. Eric Woodruff, Product Technical Specialist at Semperis, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss those attacks, including a new attack technique, dubbed Silver SAML. Join this segment to learn how to protect your hybrid workforce.

On February 27, 2024, PCAST (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) sent a report to the President with recommendations to bolster the resilience and adaptability of the nation’s cyber-physical infrastructure resources. Phil was part of the team that worked on the report and comes on the show to talk about what was recommended and how we implement the suggestions. This week the crew discusses: When TVs scan your network, bad things can happen, PuTTY is vulnerable, Crush FTP, vulnerabilities that will never be fixed, CVEs are for vulnerabilities silly, you can test for easily guessable passwords too, FlipperZero can steal all your passwords, more XZ style attacks, more reasons why you shouldn't use a smart lock, and your keystrokes are showing!

A clear pattern with startups getting funding this week are "autonomous" products and features. Automated detection engineering Autonomously map and predict malicious infrastructure ..."helps your workforce resolve their own security issues autonomously" automated remediation automated compliance management & reporting I'll believe it when I see it. Don't get me wrong, I think we're in desperate need of more automation when it comes to patching and security decision-making. I just don't think the majority of the market has the level of confidence necessary to trust security products to automate things without a human in the loop. The way LimaCharlie is going about it, with their new bi-directional functionality they're talking up right now, might work, as detections can be VERY specific and fine-grained. We've already seen a round of fully automated guardrail approaches (particularly in the Cloud) fail, however. My prediction? Either what we're seeing isn't truly automated, or it will become a part of the product that no one uses - like Metasploit Pro licenses.   We've talked about generative AI in a general sense on our podcast for years, but we haven't done many deep dives into specific security use cases. That ends with this interview, as we discuss how generative AI can improve SecOps with Ely Kahn. Some of the use cases are obvious, while others were a complete surprise to me.

He's often the first name that pops into people's heads when threat modeling comes up, and has created or been involved with much of the foundational material around the subject.

How can open source projects find a funding model that works for them? What are the implications with different sources of funding? Simon Bennetts talks about his stewardship of Zed Attack Proxy and its journey from OWASP to OpenSSF to an Open Source Fellowship with Crash Override.
