Once again, Theresa Lanowitz joins us to discuss Edge Computing, but with a twist this time, as Mani Keerthi Nagotu from SentinelOne joins us as well! As a field CISO, Mani knows all too well the struggles security leaders are going through, given the current market and threat landscape:

• Maybe not less budget, but more pressure to produce results and justify spending
• Security leaders being held personally accountable for performance
• Potential layoffs, and the need to achieve the same goals with less labor and tool overhead

We regularly cover significant breaches on this podcast, but it is rare that we have enough information about a major breach to cover in enough detail to devote an entire segment to. Today, we dive into lessons learned from the breach of Okta's customer support system that targeted some other major security vendors.

This is part of a troubling trend, where the target of an attack only serves as a jumping off point to other organizations. China's 2023 attack of Microsoft is an example of this. It was easier to attack Microsoft 365, one of the world's largest business SaaS platforms, than to go after each of the 25 individual targets these Chinese actors needed access to.

Traditionally, we've thought of lateral movement as something that happens within a network segment, or even within a single organization. Now, we're seeing lateral movement between SaaS platforms, between clouds, from third party vendors to customer, and even from open source project to open source adopters.

In this segment, we'll cover five key lessons learned from Okta's breach, from information shared by Okta and three of its customers: 1Password, Cloudflare, and BeyondTrust.

1. Protect Your Session Tokens
2. Monitor for Unusual Behavior
3. SaaS Vendors Are Common Targets
4. Zero Trust Principles Work
5. MFA Isn't a Binary (on or off) Control

Attackers pursue the shortest path to achieve their goals in your app. With a tri-layered security architecture, you can force hackers to crawl through a triathlon in your app. What’s in the three layers, to detect attacks sooner, slow attackers down, and stop them fast? Let’s take a journey across the three layers and discuss how to gain control of user permissions, secure your cloud computing, and keep your customers and their users safe.

Inspired by my co-host, Jason Albuquerque, we get our hands dirty and discuss the challenges of cyber risk management. Why is cyber risk management so elusive and what can we do to solve it?

In part 1, we discuss the challenges of cyber risk management and quantification. Do risk scores really work? What do CEOs and Boards really need to understand cyber risks?

Inspired by my co-host, Jason Albuquerque, we get our hands dirty and discuss the challenges of cyber risk management. Why is cyber risk management so elusive and what can we do to solve it?

In part 2, we get our hands dirty by walking through ways to quantify cyber risks in business terms. What risks are truly worth mitigating vs. accepting or transferring? And if we do mitigate them, how do we track progress and impact?

Today, we discuss the state of attack surface across the Internet. We've known for decades now that putting an insecure service on the public Internet is a recipe for disaster, often within minutes. How has this knowledge changed the publicly accessible Internet? We find out when we talk to Censys's Aidan Holland today.

We've reached an inflection point in security. There are a handful of organizations regularly and successfully stopping cyber attacks. Most companies haven't gotten there, however. What separates these two groups? Why does it seem like we're still failing as an industry, despite seeming to collectively have all the tools, intel, and budget we've asked for?

Kelly Shortridge has studied this problem in depth. She has created tools (https://www.deciduous.app/), and written books (https://www.securitychaoseng.com/) to help the community approach security challenges in a more logical and structured way. We'll discuss what hasn't worked for infosec in the past, and what Kelly thinks might work as we go into the future.

During the news today, we went deep down the rabbithole of discussing security product efficacy. Adrian still doesn't believe in enterprise browsers beyond Google Chrome, but can't deny that Talon got a pretty favorable exit considering the state of the market. We see the first major exit for cybersecurity insuretechs, and discuss a few notable funding rounds.

We discuss Kelly Shortridge's essay on the origins and nature of the term "security" and what it means. Stephen Schmidt suggests 6 questions every board should ask their CISO, we explore Cyentia Labs' meta analysis of MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and Phil Venables shares some hilarious takes on infosec stereotypes.
