Most of the myths and lies in InfoSec take hold because they seem correct or sound logical. Similar cognitive biases make it possible for even the most preposterous conspiracy theories to become commonly accepted in some groups. This is a talk about the importance of critical thinking and checking sources in InfoSec. Our industry is relatively new and constantly changing. Too often, we operate more off faith and hope than fact or results. Exhausted and overworked defenders often don't have the time to seek direct evidence for claims, question sources, or test theories for themselves.

Cyber insurance is a must-have, but organizations are finding that cyber insurance premiums are more costly, policies are more difficult to obtain, and policies attach more limitations and exclusions than before. We will discuss cyber insurance’s role in risk management and trends.

Insiders - employees, contractors, and partners - are responsible for almost a quarter of data breaches. Reducing insider risk requires a dedicated approach, including user monitoring. But be careful, Forrester predicts that a C-level executive will be fired for their firm’s use of employee monitoring in 2023.

In the Enterprise News: There's lots of executive shuffling going on! Saviynt gets a new CEO and $205M in funding, Forescout appoints its 4th CEO in as many years, and Mudge finds a place at Rapid 7. We've got some interesting trends, like more focus on securing small businesses, and more cybersecurity startups pairing technology with cyber insurance. It seems like only yesterday, we were shocked to hear that Microsoft was running a $10B security business, but Microsoft has apparently now grown security revenue to $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

Also, Tyler explains what Herman Miller chairs have to do with spotting market trends, we note the 20 year anniversary of SQL Slammer, and discuss why consumers don’t want smart appliances shoved down their throats!

In a recent survey on purple teaming, 89 percent of respondents who had used the method deemed purple teaming activities “very important” to their security operations. Purple teaming exercises conducted regularly have the power to improve collaboration across teams, ensure issues are identified and remediated more proactively, and provide a means to measure progress over time. With all these benefits, why isn’t everyone doing it? Purple teaming doesn’t have to be such a heavy lift. With the right mindset and tools, any team can get started regardless of resources. This talk will highlight practical tips for getting started with purple teaming exercises and show off PlexTrac Runbooks, a platform designed to plan, execute, report, and remediate collaborative purple teaming engagements so teams can maximize their efforts and improve their security posture.
