Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most.

The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up.

Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead. This is what we'll be talking to Threatlocker's CEO and co-founder, Danny Jenkins, about on this episode. They seemed to have cracked the code here and are eager to share how they did it.

We wanted security data? We got it! Now, what the heck do we DO with all of it?

The core challenge of security operations, incident response, and even compliance is still a data management and analysis problem. Which is why we're seeing companies like Abstract Security pop up to address some of these challenges.

Abstract just released a comprehensive eBook on security data strategy, linked below, and you don't even need to give up an email address to read it! In this interview, we'll talk through some of the highlights:

• Challenges
• Myths
• Pillars of a data security strategy
• Understanding the tools available

This week, it's double AI interview Monday!

In our first interview, we discuss how to balance AI opportunities vs. risk. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize how businesses operate. But with this exciting advancement comes new challenges that cannot be ignored. For proactive security and IT leaders, how do you balance the need of security and privacy in AI with the opportunities that come with accelerating adoption?

Matt Muller, Field CISO at Tines, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the unprecedented challenges facing Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and approaches to mitigate AI's security and privacy risks. In this interview, we'll discuss ways to mitigate AI's security and privacy risks and strategies to help ease AI stress on security teams.

In our second interview, we dig into the challenges of securing Artificial Intelligence. Are you being asked to secure AI initiatives? What questions should you be asking your developers or vendors to validate security and privacy concerns?

Who better to ask than Summer Fowler, CISO at Torc Robotics, a self-driving trucking company. Summer will guide us on her AI security journey to help us understand:

• Regulatory requirements regarding AI
• Build vs. buy decisions
• Security considerations for both build and buy scenarios
• Resources to help guide you

We have a top ten list entry for Insecure Design, pledges to CISA's Secure by Design principles, and tons of CVEs that fall into familiar categories of flaws. But what does it mean to have a secure design and how do we get there? There are plenty of secure practices that orgs should implement are supply chains, authentication, and the SDLC. Those practices address important areas of risk, but only indirectly influence a secure design. We look at tactics from coding styles to design councils as we search for guidance that makes software more secure.

You might know them from their excellent research work on groups like Scattered Spider, or their refreshing branding/marketing style, but Permiso is laying some impressive groundwork for understanding and defending against identity and cloud-based attacks. In this interview, we talk with co-founder and co-CEO Paul Nguyen about understanding the threats against some of cybercriminals' favorite attack surface, insider threats, and non-human identity compromise.

Segment Resources:

• This blog post from our threat research team on Scattered Spider shows how threat actors move laterally in an environment across identity providers, Iaas, PaaS and SaaS environments, and how this lateral movement ultimately creates blind spots for many security teams
• This great talk by Ian Ahl, from fwd:cloudsec 2024, touches on a lot of great TTPs used by attackers in IDPs and in the cloud
• Another blog, When AI Gets Hijacked: Exploiting Hosted Models for Dark Roleplaying
• and another, What Security Teams Can Learn From The Rippling/Deel Lawsuit: Intent Lies in Search Logs
