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

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

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?
