Application security posture management has quickly become a hot commodity in the world of AppSec, but questions remain around what is defined by ASPM. Vendors have cropped up from different corners of the AppSec space to help security teams make their programs more effective, improve their security postures, and connect the dots between developers and security. Apiiro is setting the diamond standard for ASPM, combining deep code analysis, runtime context, and native risk detection with a 100% open platform approach, providing more valuable prioritization and a more powerful policy engine.

Open source has been a part of the software supply chain for decades, yet many projects and their maintainers remain undersupported by the companies that consume them. The security responsibilities for project owners has increased not only in dealing with security disclosures, but in maintaining secure processes backed by strong authentication and trust.

Semperis CISO Jim Doggett shares insights into the evolving role of the CISO. The daily onslaught of cyberattacks not only increases business risk, but also puts a company's most important data at risk – data on the company, its employees, customers, and partners. Now, more than ever, the CISO is being asked to understand the business of cyber without being given much time to implement plans for protecting an organization's infrastructure. There is a balance needed between being a technical and business leader, and Jim can share stories from his successful career to enlighten listeners.

• Self Awareness
• Self Regulation
• Motivation
• Empathy
• Social Skills

and examples of how to use them. If you want to be a better cyber leader, then don't miss this episode.

The past two years have witnessed an unprecedented surge in the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) across various industries. And while this presents new efficiencies, with these benefits come significant security concerns. The widespread integration of AI applications increases the risk of data breaches and intellectual property theft, while also expanding organizations' vulnerability to malicious data injection and other AI-driven cyberattacks. During this interview Jim will explore why it's imperative to implement robust security measures to mitigate these evolving risks effectively, and how working alongside an MSSP can benefit your overall security posture.

Organizations today are overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of potential cybersecurity threats and there is plenty of vendor buzz around AI in Security products, but what is the reality? Threat detection and incident response (TDIR) strategy and execution have never been more critical and are essential in maintaining cyber resilience and strengthening the security posture of every organization. TDIR aims to identify potential threats and respond before they can impact a business. A layered defense focuses on identifying threat activity, prioritizing investigations, and measuring risk. As a result, organizations can take the appropriate threat mitigation steps. These security strategies and protocols signify a step forward with a TDIR strategy where everyone from the CISO to the security analyst wins.

Vendors, sales channels, partners and other kinds of third parties are essential to most businesses. Ensuring that the information security risks of those other companies don't impact your own is the remit of Third Party Cyber Risk Management (TPCRM) teams. It is increasingly evident, however, that the existing practices and tools are not up to the challenge. They make the process even more adversarial than it needs to be, are focused on risk transfer and/or acceptance rather than reduction; are based on limited and low quality signals; and are often excruciatingly manual. We can do better as an industry, and in this conversation we are going to explore a new paradigm for TPCRM and its advantages for third and first parties.
