While non-profit doesn't mean "no budget" when it comes to cybersecurity, a lot of smaller to mid-sized non-profits operate on a shoestring, with little to no money for cybersecurity talent or spending. This is where Sightline Security steps in. Sightline's founder and CEO, Kelley Misata joins us today to explain how her own non-profit helps other non-profits improve their cybersecurity posture.

As with any category of trends, the success rate of cybercrime ebbs and flows. As Russia seems be a safe haven for cybercriminals, it seemed for a while that the war in Ukraine might disrupt this activity. It did, but only for a short while.

Keith Jarvis walks us through the latest types, tactics, and trends in cybercrime. Secureworks' latest State of the Threat report reveals a disturbing dichotomy: how is it we understand our adversaries' so well, but continue to fail to stop them? In this interview, we aim to understand what needs to happen to tilt the odds a bit back in our favor.

What will the future bring with respect to AI and LLMs? Josh has spent some time thinking about this and brings us some great resources. We'll discuss how to get students involved with AI in a safe and ethical manner. How can we use AI to teach people about cybersecurity? What tools are available and where do they fit into our educational systems that must change and adapt to the times? Join us for a fun discussion on what the future looks like with AI and the youth of today.

We navigate through dangerous cyber terrain, examining real-world examples like the WebP library and the Curl vulnerability. Critical issues in Zyxel firewalls will also be unmasked as we shed light on the urgency of improving vulnerability reporting and cataloging and addressing the often-overlooked problem of overclassifying harmless software bugs.

We then shifted gears to tackle the tricky subject of software vulnerability identification, focusing on a specific CVE that sparked intriguing debates. Learn why pinpointing the source of the vulnerability is vital to effective SBOMs. The journey doesn't end there - we'll uncover a newly discovered Bluetooth vulnerability, aptly named 'BLUFFS', and discuss its potential for exploitation, along with the ingenious solutions proposed by the researchers who unearthed it.

Brace yourself for a riveting finale as we delve into Akamai's recent research on DVR and router attacks, explore the risks of GPS spoofing, and discuss the importance of detection mechanisms. We'll also scrutinize the stereotype of hackers in pop culture, address the importance of handling vulnerabilities in software, and highlight the pressing issue of ransomware targeting healthcare. So buckle up and join us for this critical exploration into the world of software vulnerabilities as we decode the complexities and debunk some security myths.

This year we've talked about vulns, clouds, breaches, presentations, and all the variations of Dev, Sec, and Ops. As we end the year, let's talk about starting things -- like starting an appsec program or an appsec career. But is there still a need for an appsec team? Or has it turned into specializations for areas like cloud security and bug bounty programs? We'll cover careers and coding, with an eye towards figuring out what modern software development looks like and where application (or product!) security fits in that model.

Most leadership books suffer from one of two critical failures (and sometimes both). The book might be a hagiography: telling you the biography of some amazing leaders, pretending there is one secret trick that will let you emulate that leader. Or the lesson of book should have been written as a tweet: in 280 characters you could have learned one lesson, but instead you have to fight through 300 pages of obfuscation to decipher the lesson.

1% Leadership is the antidote to these approaches. There is no secret. Instead, 1% Leadership provides 54 distinct lessons on leadership, that apply to individuals, teams, and organizations. Each lesson is presented in a self-contained chapter, averaging under 800 words. The lessons are summarized in a tweet-length pithy summary, which is also the chapter title. The table of contents thus serves as a quick reference guide for leaders.

Brian Snow spent his first 20 years at NSA doing and directing research that developed cryptographic components and secure systems. Many cryptographic systems serving the U.S. government and military use his algorithms; they provide capabilities not previously available and span a range from nuclear command and control to tactical radios for the battlefield. He created and managed NSA's Secure Systems Design division in the 1980s. He has many patents, awards, and honors attesting to his creativity.

We often think "this would be so much better if done properly from the beginning", but the reality is, doing things from scratch comes with different challenges. Managing priorities, deciding what you tackle on from the absolute beginnings of a company in terms of security is a fun challenge.
