Even though Security Champions programs look very different across organizations and maturity levels, they share core principles for becoming successful. Marisa shares her experience in building these programs to foster a positive security culture within companies. She explains the incentives and rewards that lead to more engagement from champions and the benefits that come from so many people being engaged with security.

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Job Search Strategies for CISOs. In part 1, we discuss the challenges facing the CISO role and it's hiring. As CISOs leave the role, the position is not necessarily being refilled. How will this impact future CISO hiring?

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Job Search Strategies for CISOs. In part 2, Jason proposes we blow it all up, while Ben recommends a certification board for CISOs. We have no shortage of suggestions for how to fix the CISO hiring problem.

Remember 20 years ago? When we were certain SIEMs would grant our cybersecurity teams superpowers? Or 10 years ago, when we were sure that NGAV would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 15 years ago, when we were sure that application control would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 18 years ago, when NAC would put an end to unauthorized network access?

Why do we keep thinking that the next vendor offering is going to solve all our problems? In this interview, we talk with Fred Wilmot about the hard work of building effective processes and resilient architectures that will actually yield reductions in risk and detection/response capabilities that actually work.

We'll discuss shifts in thinking that can move us past the latest distractions, and keep security teams focused on work that moves the needle. Fred may also mention his past transgressions against the industry and what he's doing to "wipe out the red from his ledger".

There's plenty of content out there detailing how vendors fall short:

• scummy, aggressive sales tactics
• overuse of jargon and buzzwords
• sneaky sales tactics
• dumping on competitors
• products that fall far short of claims
• ambulance chasing

So what should they doing? In this episode, we chat with Dani Wolff, about how marketers can adopt the skills and mindsets of security researchers to improve GTM strategies, without resorting to awful tactics. Drawing from extensive experience in qualitative interviews and collaborations with enterprise security executives and researchers, Dani will uncover how the innate curiosity and analytical prowess of researchers can dismantle unhealthy habits within vendor organizations.

We'll also discuss Dani's various projects, including the WTF Did I Just Read podcast, CyberNest, and CyberSynapse. Dani will explain how these are all designed to address the gap between vendors and buyers in the cybersecurity industry.

Modern appsec isn't modern because security tools got shifted in one direction or another, or because teams are finding and fixing more vulns. It's modern because appsec is meeting developer needs and supporting the business. Paul Davis talks about how AI is (and isn't) changing appsec, the KPIs that reflect outcomes rather than being busy, and the importance of communication for security teams.

The emergence of generative AI has caused us to rethink things on two fronts:

1. how we consume threat detection data, as defenders
2. how we need to shift our thinking and approaches to prepare for attackers' newfound GenAI capabilities

But wait - is GenAI even useful for defenders or attackers? We'll dive deep into the state of AI as it pertains to security operations, just as Gartner announces that AI is hitting the trough of disillusionment. What better time to dispel the hype and focus on where real progress can be made?

Edward Wu thinks so! Understandably so, as his startup, Dropzone.ai is making a big bet on generative AI to change the face (and pace) of security operations.

We'll talk about what has changed here, and I have so many questions:

• after many generations of AI/ML technology in security, is the current gen really that dramatically different?
• Dropzone is far from the only startup with the same idea here, how will they differentiate?
• Is the problem that we need more help than we can possibly hire, or are we fundamentally doing something wrong in security operations?
• Specifically, what is this tech doing to help?

Finally, we'll wrap by talking about where this tech goes next, and can we get there with current technology, or are we dependent on more breakthroughs from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta?

This week, on Enterprise Security Weekly, we've got:

1. Identity Security gets more funding
2. Wiz walks away
3. BlackHat Announces Startup Spotlight Finalists
4. Crowdstrike post mortem
5. Simple Security Tricks are the Best Security Tricks
6. Splitting the CISO role
7. Web scraping for AI is out of control
8. SEC vs Solarwinds
9. Vaping the Internet
