The world of AI is exploding, as excitement about generative AI creates a gold rush. We've already seen a huge number of new GenAI-based startups, products, and features flooding the market and we'll see a lot more emerge over the next few years. Generative AI will transform how we do business and how we interact with businesses, so right now is an excellent time to consider how to adopt AI safely.

Pamela Gupta's company literally has "trust" and "AI" in the name (Trusted.ai), so we couldn't think of anyone better to come on and have this conversation with.

Deidre Diamond, founder & CEO of CyberSN, talks about her efforts to address InfoSec burnout and the skills shortage impacting the industry.

As long as there are profits to be made, cybercriminals will continue to monetize enterprise assets—whether they be devices, applications, data, or users. It only takes one weak or unknown asset to compromise an entire organization. Brian will discuss why enterprises need to move away from assumption-based approaches to asset data and decision making to evidence-based asset intelligence to secure their environments quickly, easily, and at scale.

In our first segment: the PSW hosts drop valuable insight on how to start your own journey into reverse engineering hardware!

Resources we mentioned:

• The Hardware Hackers Handbook is a great start
• Do a badge challenge: https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research-blog/an-introduction-to-hardware-hacking
• Take some classes
• Do some Arduino stuff: https://www.arduino.cc/
• Take free courses on electrical engineering: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-01sc-introduction-to-electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-i-spring-2011/ (And here: https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSQf3iuluYo&list=PLoFdAHrZtKkhcd9k8ZcR4th8Q8PNOx7iU)

Building a lab - The list:

• Soldering iron (and tools and parts such as Solder, Flux, Tweezer, Soldering wick, Cutter, Wire stripper)
• Hot air rework station (can be bundled with soldering iron)
• Multi-meter (and lots of associated cables)
• Jumper and pinout wires
• Breadboard
• USB microscope
• Bench power supply
• Specific lighting (e.g. my document camera has an LED light that works great)
• Magnification - magnifying lenses and a headset (esp. if you are old, like us)
• USB serial devices (or Bus Pirate if you fancy)

Then, in the Security News: Windows 11 tries to fix legacy authentication, Rapid resets and the world’s largest DDoS attack, we finally get to see the cURL vulnerability, and its pretty ugly, turns out Android TV boxes with pre-installed malware are a hot topic, patch your Netscaler, root for everyone with emergency responder software, learn THIS hacking Tools First, long live Wayland, how to actually hack a WiFi device with a Flipper Zero, scanning open source packages, GNOME bugs and a bonus, security is a great idea until there is a bypass in apparmor,a tool that everyone should have in their kit, and we could talk for hours about 25 hard hitting lessons from Cybersecurity!

What if all these recommendations to shift left were more about shifting focus? It's all too easy to become preoccupied with vulns, whether figuring out how to find them earlier in the SDLC or spending time fixing them within specific number of days. Successful DevSecOps approaches can be so much more than just vulns and so much more than just tools. Sure, tools are useful for identifying known vulns in dependencies and new vulns in code, but teams that emphasize people and culture will find it easier to shift their attention to the security of their product and creating secure designs.

In the news, anticipating Curl's upcoming patch for a high severity flaw, the Looney Tunables flaw in Glibc, ShellTorch flaw hits PyTorch and lots of AI, lessons from some X.Org security patches, and more!

In this segment, we'll explore some of the most useful lessons and interesting insights to come out of the last year's worth of breaches and data leaks! We'll explain why we will NOT be covering MGM in this segment. The breaches we will be covering include:

- Microsoft AI Research Data Leak - Microsoft/Storm-0558 - CommutAir - Riot Games - Lastpass - CircleCI - RackSpace - Drizly (yes, this breach is older, but the full story just wrapped a year ago!)

On this week's news segment, we go down a bit of a rabbit hole on data lakes and have a GREAT conversation about where security data wrangling might or might not go in the future. We also discuss Nord Security's funding and $3B valuation, try to figure out what Synqly is doing, and discuss IronNet's demise.

We also find out which email solution is more secure (at least, according to insurance claim data), Google or Microsoft! 

We wrap up, learning that forms of CAPTCHAs are apparently broken now, $3800 gets you a gaming PC in the shape of a sneaker, and someone has created the DevOps equivalent of dieselgate!

Each employee serves as a potential gateway to their organization, and the personal information of your workforce is readily accessible and exposed on the internet, making the organization susceptible to threats. DeleteMe is the solution that locates and eliminates personal data from the open web, safeguarding your organization.

Why are we seeing a re-emergence of the demand for packet and flow-based forensic data in cloud environments? In this session, we’ll discuss three reasons why IT leaders still need the same if not even better visibility in the cloud than they have in their data centers. 

We’ll also discuss the growing demand for Threat Exposure Management (TEM). Why does a leading analyst describe this as a transformation technology and how can you quickly visualize your environment the way the attackers do?
