Thank you for joining us at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. In this episode, Sean and Marco are coming to you from the RSA Conference in San Francisco and are joined by Steve Schlarman, Allison Ockerbloom, and MK Palmore. It’s the second day and things are starting to shape up with conversations focused on the human element.

Thank you for joining us at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. In this episode, Sean and Marco are coming to you from the RSA Conference in San Francisco and are joined by Alyssa Miller, Mark Albertson, and Caroline Wong. While we cover a gazillion topics during this short chat, the human element certainly remained a common thread throughout.

The concept of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has been around since the mid-2000s. GRC continues to change, as do business models, the technologies that run the business, and the cyber threats that threaten to bring it to a screeching halt.

Are you empowering your employees to embrace and utilize their cybersecurity superpowers?

For years, organizations have been monitoring network traffic to squeeze every ounce of performance out of their systems and applications. The data collected and analyzed gives organizations tremendous insights into what changes need to be made to keep things up and running at top speed. This data is gold.

Get ready for history to repeat itself. The down and dirty story of web application security.

We’ve had a real problem in getting the web to run securely, and we still have some challenges with web application security—it should not come as a surprise to anyone that, while this environment is getting better, it is still pretty much misunderstood.

For our first episode, we were joined by Katie Moussouris. She shared her journey from her beginning programming days to starting her own company while providing her insight into the bug bounty world.

Our guest today, Willy Leichter, points out that the National Vulnerability Database has been tracking between 5,000 to 7,000 vulnerabilities every year; a figure that went up to about 20,000 a couple years ago, and where we're now seeing 10,000 to 15,000 per month. Trying to keep up with this trend from a patch management perspective as the sole means to eliminate vulnerabilities and mitigate risk to the business isn't scalable; it isn't feasible.

Sometimes it takes some creative thinking when it comes to gaining an understanding of how information security and cybersecurity work—and why they matter, not only during work hours but after hours as well. Who knows, you might even get a glimpse into what a Black Cloak is.

Given that most modern aircraft fly by wire via autopilot and that we are seeing autonomous vehicles doing trial runs in cities around the globe, are we entering a time when the machines will do the long, tenuous work for us humans?
