This is a recurring segment, in which we bring on a VC to provide an investor's point-of-view on all this activity. It's hard to imagine a better investor to join us than Will Lin, co-founder of Forgepoint, one of the few VC firms that exclusively invests in cybersecurity startups. We're excited to have Will back with us! We'll discuss - How, the last time we had Will on (20 episodes ago, ESW 270), we were asking about huge valuations and potential market resets/corrections. Well, it seems that day arrived. What now? - Crowdstrike and SentinelOne are active investors with their own funds now. Is this a new trend, or are we just now noticing it? What does it mean for the larger market and for founders looking to raise? - We've had guests on to discuss enterprise browsers, and DSPM - what hot markets should we target next?

Hackers rarely break through crypto or exploit fancy zero days. Most of the time they simply login using stolen credentials. Managing passwords, keys and other forms of secrets does not work at scale. In this segment we'll look into a more radical approach to infrastructure security: getting rid of secrets entirely and moving to access control based on physical properties of humans and machines.

New fourth-annual research report analyzes ransomware attack patterns that occurred between August 2021 and July 2022 In the past 12 months, Barracuda researchers identified and analyzed 106 highly publicized ransomware attacks and found the dominant targets are still five key industries: education, municipalities, healthcare, infrastructure, and financial. Researchers also saw a spike in the number of service providers that have been hit with a ransomware attack. The volume of ransomware threats detected spiked between January and June of this year to more than 1.2 million per month. Most ransomware attacks don't make headlines, though. Many victims choose not to disclose when they get hit, and the attacks are often sophisticated and extremely hard to handle for small businesses. To get a closer look at how ransomware is affecting smaller businesses, the report details three examples that researchers have seen through Barracuda SOC-as-a-Service, the anatomy of each attack, and the solutions that can help stop these attacks.

Applications are the most frequent external attack vector for companies. However, application security can improve only if developers either code securely or remediate existing security flaws — unfortunately, many don't receive training with proper security know-how. In this session, we will talk about the state of application security education and what you can do to secure what you sell.

Based on what we know so far (which is limited and could change), the Uber breach appears to be a classic example of how penetration testers and criminals alike break into large organizations. In this segment, we'll discuss how the attack happened. We'll go over the controls that failed, why they failed, and what Uber could have done to prevent or detect this attack. For those listening live, questions are welcome!

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is not your dad's DLP. This new category has emerged to tackle one of the toughest areas of security: protecting data. Today, Jonathan Roizin from Flow Security helps us understand what this new security category is all about and how it differs from the OG, false positive heavy DLP we'd all rather forget.
