If you've ever played Dungeons & Dragons, you probably know that the quality of the experience depends on how prepared, experienced, and talented the Dungeon Master is.

Today, we'll talk to InfoSec DM and practitioner extraordinaire Ryan Fried about some of the key elements that separate a good cybersecurity tabletop exercise from a bad one! This is literally his day job at Mandiant, and it doesn't hurt to have one of the world's largest libraries of attacker TTPs and the collective lessons learned from thousands of actual incident response experiences.

Forrester Research releases a few annual reoccurring cybersecurity reports, but one of the biggest that covers the most ground is the Security Risk Planning Guide, which was recently released for 2024. One of the report's 17 authors, and research director, Merritt Maxim, will walk us through the report's most interesting insights and highlights. This is going to be considerably interesting considering some of this year's trends impacting security teams:

• An economic downturn, resulting in layoffs and budget freezes
• The widespread proliferation of generative AI technology
• The relentless and resilient nature of cybercrime, despite some notable law enforcement wins
• Ongoing discussion about the role and relevance of SOCs, CISO's, as well as the security department place in today's enterprise
• Increased enterprise reliance on SaaS and Cloud, as vendors and service providers continue to struggle with securing their products and services

The majority of attacks are now automated, with a growing number of attacks targeting business logic via APIs, which is unique to every organization. This shift makes traditional signature-based defenses insufficient to stop targeted business logic attacks on their own. In this discussion, Karl Triebes shares how flaws in business logic design can leave applications and APIs open to attack and what tools organizations need to effectively mitigate these threats.

Organizations still struggle with DDoS, ransomware, and personal information exfiltration. In order the prevent these attacks, we first need to understand the 'types' of DDoS and emerging threat techniques used by the adversary. In this interview, we explore these attacks in the context of edge computing. As edge computing use cases evolve, organizations need to understand the intersection of edge computing, networking, and cybersecurity. We discuss the risks associated with edge computing, the controls that can mitigate these risks, and how to plan for implementation, including security budgeting.
