On July 31st, 2023, the Biden administration released a national strategy addressing cyber workforce shortages, calling long-standing vacancies a national security imperative. The National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy focuses on four major pillars: equipping every American with cyber skills, transforming cyber education, expanding and enhancing the national cyber workforce and strengthening the federal cyber workforce. The strategy relies heavily on non-governmental and private sector entities to provide funding, internship and apprenticeship programs to increase the number of workers with cybersecurity skills. One of those entities referenced in the strategy is Dakota State University. Dr. José-Marie Griffiths joins us to discuss education's role in the strategy, but offers other insights, including: - immigration policies and how it limits the current cyber workforce, - diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and the reduction of women in the cyber workforce, and - what can the cyber community do to help.

While malware and ransomware tend to dominate cybersecurity headlines, Fortra’s research shows that nearly 99% of email threats reaching corporate inboxes utilize impersonation rather than malware. Email impersonation is a key component of credential phishing, advance fee fraud, hybrid vishing, and business email compromise schemes. Because email impersonation scams rely on social engineering rather than technology, the barrier to entry for an aspiring cybercriminal is almost non-existent. In this segment, we’ll explore strategies for defending against email impersonation.

Identity isn't new, but we do have new ways of presenting and protecting identity with things like payment wallets and verifiable credentials. But we also have identity in surprising places -- like cars. We'll answer some questions like: - Why do we even have identities in cars? - What else is your car connected to? - How should devs be thinking about security in this space? In the news segment, Zenbleed in AMD, Google's TAG sees a drop in zero-days, new security testing handbook from Trail of Bits, Phil Venables' advice on public speaking, car battery monitor that monitors location(!?), more news on TETRA,

Some organizations are banning ChatGPT and other generative AI models out of fear of the risks they could introduce. While this is understandable, the reality is generative AI is accelerating so fast that, very soon, banning it in the workplace will be like blocking employee access to their web browser. Randy Lariar, Practice Director of Big Data, AI and Analytics at Optiv, will discuss how to embrace the new technology and shift the focus from preventing it in the workplace to adopting it safely and securely. We will discuss the challenges and benefits of generative AI, including: - How to detect AI tools and usage - How to develop policies and procedures for using AI tools - How the protect the models, data, and infrastructure to support AI tools - What are the regulatory requirements that may impact AI tools and usage - What are the benefits of using AI tools

The traditional concept of the CISO may literally be 'too much', according to Nathan Case. It's based on systems of control and unrealistic assumptions that don't survive contact with real life. In this conversation, we'll discuss what the top security leadership role should be, and how it differs from the current/old school concept.

The concept of Edge computing has evolved over the years and now has a distinct role alongside the public cloud. AT&T Cybersecurity just released their 12th report on this market, which explores insights from a massive, 1400 respondent survey. Theresa Lanowitz joins us to discuss the findings of the report, and the future of this market.

This week, we discuss the state of the market as OneTrust announces a round, one year after they laid off nearly 1000 employees. We also note that we continue to see more and more non-US cybersecurity vendor activity - France and India specifically this week. An IBM report tries to tie security spending to breach costs, but we disagree. We discuss the impact of InfoSec leaving Twitter, and the odds of whether or not the Las Vegas Sphere will get hacked during DEF CON.
