Shadow IT once conjured strong draconian responses from IT and security teams alike to prevent potential security and management nightmares.  But in a world dominated by agility, hybrid work, and fast-moving technology, this approach has become unsustainable.  Our guest, David Seeman, product manager at Infoblox, helps us understand how organizations are managing their risks while taking advantage of the benefits of Shadow IT.Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher.

The shift to the network edge is transforming the work environment but there is so much information about it, including some confusing marketing messaging, that many are unclear about why it matters, what it costs, and how they should go about assessing and altering their own operations.   The Sr. PMM for cloud-managed core networking solutions at Infoblox, Rod Dixon, joins this episode of ThreatTalk to update us on the shift to the edge, and provide some thoughts that can help anyone trying to make decisions about the transition. Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher.

It is easy to find headline stories of a breach that can be traced to poor security investments and practices. But such stories will continue to appear as many in management persist in restricting security investments. They often cite worker productivity, or even employee satisfaction, as factors. How can SecOps balance the needs for both productivity and protection? Anthony Ciarochi, SecOps Manager for Infoblox, returns to ThreatTalk to discuss.Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher.

To deliver malware, threat actors depend on techniques like phishing and malvertising, but malvertising doesn’t get as much visibility.  To address this imbalance, we’ve invited Chance Tudor, an official “Threat Hunter” in the Infoblox threat research group, to talk about his recent work uncovering the Omnatour Malvertising network, an unusually large and persistent threat delivery system.  Our discussion will focus on the behind-the-scenes investigation work, starting with how they even knew a threat even needed to be investigated.Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher.

In previous episodes, we’ve discussed the broad array of threat intelligence (TI) available and how important it is to get the right blend of TI.  But where does it all come from?  Renee Burton is the Sr. Director of Threat Intelligence for Infoblox and her teams, produce or curate dozens of threat feeds of different types, so we’ve asked her to help us understand the different kinds of labs producing all of these different types of threat intelligence.Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher.

Vulnerabilities. The breadth of products impacted is growing, while our options for dealing with them are shrinking.  For example, the luxury of having months to test patches in labs before deployment has, in many cases, completely disappeared. So, we have asked the SecOps Manager for Infoblox, Anthony Ciarochi, to be our guest for this episode of ThreatTalk and talk with us about how his security operations are adapting to the current state of vulnerabilities, exploits, and all the rest.Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher.
