Security professionals face a variety of challenges on a daily basis. The cybersecurity talent shortage and the so-called Great Resignation can lead to gaps in security, an increase in insider threats and overworked employees, not to mention external threats like hacking and ransomware. Digital forensics can help alleviate these challenges with solutions that collect evidence properly, automate workflows, function in Zero Trust environments and detect and mitigate insider threats.

A few of the highlights we'll cover in this interview include:

- How to get started, learning offensive tools and techniques

In the recent Shields Up advisory, CISA released guidance advising enterprises to prepare for an influx of malicious cyber activity. The advisory includes best practices for reducing the likelihood of a damaging cyber intrusion and how to detect and respond to potential incidents from nation state-sponsored actors. Josh Snow joins Enterprise Security Weekly to provide additional, practical advice for analysts who are on the front lines of the developing cyber conflict. He will dive into the specific practices and protocols that defenders should shore up, as well as behavioral indicators that signal active exploitation attempts.

Cybersecurity buzzwords tend to go through a process. They're used as a differentiator. Then everyone adopts them and things get out of control. The term Zero Trust originally gained traction in InfoSec thanks to the model designed by John Kindervag during his time at Forrester. These days, you could be seeing the term Zero Trust because:

1. a vendor makes a product that fits into any one of dozens of categories that contribute to a Zero Trust architecture (IAM, MFA, ZTNA, micro segmentation, directory services, etc)

2. a vendor is using 'zero trust' as a metaphor (small z, small t)

3. a vendor is using 'zero trust' as a philosophy, or company principle (small z, small t)

4. the CMO said it needs to be somewhere on the website for SEO

5. someone told a founder to put it in the sales and/or pitch deck

Steve joins us to separate the cyber virtue signaling from the truth of what Zero Trust actually looks like, why it's difficult, and what impact federal interest in Zero Trust will have on this trend.
