One of the biggest failures in appsec is an attitude that blames users for security problems. A lot of processes and workflows break down because of an insecure design or insecure defaults. Benedek Gagyi chats with us about the impact of the user experience (UX) on security and why it's not only important to understand how to make a user's life easier, but in defining who that user is in the first place.

Josh Corman joins us to explore how we can make things more secure, making companies make things more secure, and making regulations that make us make things more secure! We will also touch on supply chain security and the state of vulnerability tracking and scoring.

We discuss the always controversial Flipper Zero devices the hidden risks in the undersea cables, and the landscape of government oversight, revealing the intricacies of CVE, KEV, and NVD systems that are the linchpins of our digital safety. The conversation takes a turn to the practicalities of risk management and the impact of individuals on the industry, like Daniel from the curl project, striking a chord with the significance of cybersecurity vulnerabilities compared to environmental pollution. We tackle the challenges of vulnerability prioritization and the importance of a comprehensive approach to managing the ever-evolving threats that target our digital infrastructure.

Lots of companies need cybersecurity programs, as do non-profits. Tyler Von Moll talks about how to get small organizations started on security and how to prioritize initial investments. While an appsec program likely isn't going to be one of the first steps, it's going to be an early one. What decisions can you make at the start that will benefit the program in the years that follow? What does an appsec program look like at a small scale?

Dave DeWalt needs no introduction. A four-time CEO and currently the Founder and CEO of NightDragon, Dave collects, analyses, and disseminates more intelligence on the cybersecurity industry in a year than most of us ever will in a lifetime. We've invited Dave to Business Security Weekly to share some of that intelligence with our audience. Specifically, we'll hear about:

• The evolving threat landscape, including impacts of Artificial Intelligence
• The latest cybersecurity innovation, including what's working and what's NOT working
• The impact of budgets on buying decisions, including whether "best of breed" is dead in lieu of platforms

Tune in for this insightful discussion before you make your next strategic cybersecurity decisions.

Piggybacking off of our interview with Dave DeWalt, Tom Parker from Hubble joins Business Security Weekly to discuss a few of the key trends CISOs should be paying attention to. Yes, we'll cover Artificial Intelligence, but more from a business risk and governance perspective. We'll also cover quantum computing, technical debt, and how budgets will impact how organizations can or cannot prepare for these emerging trends. Buckle up and hang on for part two of our jam packed episode.
