Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)

Oh, the HARror! Sanitizing HAR files is not as easy as some might lead you to believe. CISA funds Cyber.org for K-12 cyber education and ORNL creates a Center for AI Security Research (CAISER). Cloudflare creates a tool out of spite, and CISA creates a tool you shouldn't use in production? Biden's EO on "Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI" and the Top Five Things you need to know about how GenAI is used in Security Tools.

Five lessons learned form Okta's latest breach, should ransom payments be illegal, and why ransomware victims can't stop paying ransoms. We discuss the impact of the charges made against Solarwinds and its CISO by the SEC, the 2023 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Survey, and Microsoft's latest open letter on security.

Finally we wrap up discussing a delicious $8M Series A for better bagels!

There is little to no organization of data within companies in 2023. We're all guilty of this at some level. The download folders and desktops on our personal machines are a mess. File servers, and cloud storage services are a mess. In Microsoft's recent data leak, AI researchers even had PC backups stored along side machine learning models for whatever reason.

Data is hard to classify, organize, and monitor. By designing for convenience, we've created convenience debt that now has to be paid down. In this segment we talk to Jackie McGuire about what needs to happen to accomplish this, at the enterprise level, and at scale.

Even if we can one day address the challenge of tracking and labeling data, we'll still have the challenge of addressing data integrity and resilience, which we'll also discuss if we have time!

One of the biggest challenges in security today is organizations' reluctance to share attack information. Perhaps legal teams are worried about liability, or maybe execs are just embarrassed about security failures. Whatever the reason, this trend makes it difficult for organizations to help each other. CrowdSec's mission is to make this process automated, anonymized, and seamless for security teams.

We talk to Phillip Humeau, one of CrowdSec's founders, about what it's like to build a such an unconventional cybersecurity business - one based around crowdsourcing and open source software.

As long as there are profits to be made, cybercriminals will continue to monetize enterprise assets—whether they be devices, applications, data, or users. It only takes one weak or unknown asset to compromise an entire organization. Brian will discuss why enterprises need to move away from assumption-based approaches to asset data and decision making to evidence-based asset intelligence to secure their environments quickly, easily, and at scale.
