Having direct visibility into your access data is crucial for two reasons: 1. Simplifying audit preparation and 2. Managing progress of your identity program to ensure peak performance. Internal auditors and compliance managers need easy access to granular data points to understand and demonstrate compliance to external agencies. Gaining access to real time data creates a great deal of autonomy for audit and identity teams to be able to delve deep into their identity programs and prove compliance. However, making the data available even internally can put organizations at risk for data leaks and data policy violations. Erik will outline how companies can gain access to their current identity search and dashboard data and be able to query in their preferred BI tool based on their own data privacy policies and business needs, significantly reducing risk.

We go deep on LLMs and generative AIs to shine a light on areas that security leaders should focus on. There are technical concerns like prompt injection and access controls, and privacy concerns in training and usage. But there are also areas where security tools are starting to address these concerns as well as areas where security tools are adopting AI themselves. We'll share where we see AI showing promise, as well as where we suspect it's still premature.

The metaverse is an evolving storytelling environment in which humans have congregated for millennia to experience alternate, immersive, and simulated realities, with or without technology. Storytelling is designed to influence mental and physical perceptions suiting the purposes of the content creators. Metawar is the art of applying science to create and defend against the influence of alternate realities in the metaverse. What if we can longer rely on our senses to determine what is real and what is fiction? Winn's research into Metawar initially focused on metaversal technologies. Unexpectedly, it morphed into an intensely personal experience, triggering Winn's own Metanoia, which had a profound impact on the entire Metawar Thesis.

Winn joins Business Security Weekly to share his Metanoia.

During this segment, Jon will explore today's ransomware economy players from IABS to RaaS affiliates, to money launders and now C2Ps. For the discussion, Jon will leverage Halcyon's latest research, which demonstrates a new technique to uncover how C2Ps, like Cloudzy, are used to identify upcoming ransomware campaigns and other advanced attacks. The research revealed that Cloudzy, knowingly or not, provided services to attackers while assuming a legitimate business profile. Threat actors that leveraged Cloudzy include APT groups tied to the Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, Russian, Indian, Pakistani, and Vietnamese governments; a sanctioned Israeli spyware vendor whose tools are known to target civilians; several criminal syndicates and ransomware affiliates whose campaigns have spurred international headlines.

In this Black Hat 2023 interview, CRA's Bill Brenner and Sophos' John Shier discuss the company's latest research on the Royal ransomware gang. Though Royal is a notoriously closed off group that doesn't openly solicit affiliates from underground forums, granular similarities in the forensics of the attacks suggest all three groups are sharing either affiliates or highly specific technical details of their activities.
