In this Soap Box edition of Risky Business host Patrick Gray talks to Knocknoc CEO Adam Pointon about how to easily rein in attack surface by glueing your single sign-on service to your network controls.

Do your Palo Alto and Fortinet devices really need to be discoverable by ransomware crews? Does your file transfer appliance need to be open to the whole world? What about your SSH and RDP? Your Citrix? Your (gasp) Exchange Online servers??

You can do a lot with IP allowlisting and simple Identity Aware Proxies (IAPs) to minimise your exposure.

Knocknoc is a bit of a “Risky Business special”, too. Pat helped Knocknoc to raise a seed round through Decibel Partners where he’s a founder advisor. He also serves on Knocknoc’s board of directors.
