The background to the topic, why is it something that interests you? How do you convince developers to take your course? 2. What do you think the root cause of the gap is? 3. Who is causing the gaps? (‘go fast’ culture, overzealous security, GRC requirements, basically everyone?) 4. Where do gaps begin? Is it the ‘need’ to ‘move fast’? 5. What can devs do to involve security in their process? Sprint planning? SCA tools? 6. How have you seen this go wrong at organizations? 7. How important is it to have security early in the product development process? 8. What sort of challenges do you think mainstream security people face in AppSec scenarios? 9. How does Product Security differ from Application Security? (what if the product is an application?) 10. What are the key development concepts that security people need to be familiar with to effectively get involved in AppSec/ProdSec? 11.. How do you suggest a security team approach AppSec/ProdSec?

Join Mary and I as we discuss the functions of a board, messaging to various levels of leadership and teams, and what it takes to make that leap to being a CISO. And when you're done, and you need someone to help your org get more mature, contact the team at GoldiKnox. #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #ciso #leadership #GRC Questions and topics: https://hbr.org/2023/05/boards-are-having-the-wrong-conversations-about-cybersecurity “Just 69% of responding board members see eye-to-eye with their chief information security officers (CISOs). Fewer than half (47%) of members serve on boards that interact with their CISOs regularly, and almost a third of them only see their CISOs at board presentations. “ They obviously have different priorities, so what brings everyone to the table to discuss? Are they even worried about security? Tactical goals vs. org goals and aligning them What are boards most worried about these days? Staying relevant in the face of AI? What tech will protext them from the newest threats? GRC is forced security, security is completely optional, Compliance requires some sort of security Additional information / pertinent LInks (Would you like to know more?): Research organizations (gartner, forrester, etc) https://goldiknox.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/board-needs-help-planning-cybersecurity-start-here-daniel-briley-k7xzc https://hbr.org/2022/11/is-your-board-prepared-for-new-cybersecurity-regulations https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-chief-security-officer-uber-sentenced-three-years-probation-covering-data Show points of Contact: Amanda Berlin: @infosystir @hackershealth Brian Boettcher: @boettcherpwned Bryan Brake: https://linkedin.com/in/brakeb Brakesec Website: https://www.brakeingsecurity.com Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/@brakeseced Twitch Channel: https://twitch.tv/brakesec Discord: https://discord.gg/brakesec

Opinions expressed by the host and guests can change at any time, and do not represent views of past, present, or future employers. Guest Bio: Nicole is the Chief Product Officer at Axio. Nicole has spent her career building awareness around the benefits of usable security and human-centered security as a way to increase company revenue and create a seamless user experience. Youtube VOD Link: https://youtube.com/live/tFaAB9an47g Questions and topics: Usable security: is it an oxymoron? What determines if the security is ‘usable’ or no? We sacrifice security for a better UX, what can be done to alleviate that? Or is it some sort of sliding scale in “poor UX, amazing security or awesome UX, poor security” Examples of poor UX for ‘people’: MFA, and password managers. SEC updates and ‘material events’ and how that would affect security, IR, and other company reporting functions. Also, additional documentation (Regulation S-K Item 106) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nicole-sundin-5225a1149_sec-adopts-rules-on-cybersecurity-risk-management-activity-7090065804083290112-ISD8 Are companies ready to talk about their cybersecurity? Can the SEC say “you’re not doing enough?” What is ‘enough’? Are we heading toward yet another audit needed for public companies, similar to SOX? When does an 8-K get publicly disclosed? Materiality is based on a “reasonable investor”? So, you don’t need to announce that until you’re certain, and it’s based on what you can collect? Cyber Risk Management and some good examples of how to set up a proper cyber risk organization Additional Links: https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/usable-cybersecurity/images-media/Is%20Usable%20Security%20an%20Oxymoron.pdf http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/protection/Basic.html https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-139 https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/munter-statement-assessing-materiality-030922 https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/cybersecurity-risk-regulatory/sec-final-cybersecurity-disclosure-rules.html https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/technology-onepagers/hc-computing.html https://securityscorecard.com/blog/what-is-cyber-security-performance-management/

We also talk about what a ‘junior position’ in infosec looks like with AI doing all the “Level 1 SOC Analyst” type roles normally given to someone fresh to the security industry. Questions and topics: Is infosec over reliant on automation? Automation comes with its own challenges. Documentation woes Automation is usually found in userland Aronetics’ Thor provides defense and counter-offense tamper-proof technology digitally tied to Letter of Marque - good idea, or geopolitical disaster waiting to happen? Siloes and communication -best ways to overcome those in an org and outside? How do we overcome siloing? Overcoming security challenges?Identity management - 2FA is everywhere, there’s already ways around 2FA, so what now? 3FA? Biometrics? Make everyone carry around physical tokens that we can lose? Blog post: https://www.aronetics.com/post-quantum-cryptography/ What do we need to protect against? Nation states with quantum computers? Rubber hose cryptography?

Show Topic Summary (less than 300 words) Insider threat still exists, Lynsey Wolf talks with us about HR’s role in insider threat, how prevalent investigations are in the post-pandemic work from home environment. Questions and potential sub-topics (5 minimum): What is the difference between insider threat and insider risk? Motivators of insider threat (not much different than espionage,IMO -bryan) (MICE: Money, Ideology, Compromise, and Ego.) https://thestack.technology/pentagon-leaks-insider-threat-sysadmin/ 75% of all insider threats are being kicked off by HR departments. In short, it's proactive. “How did HR figure that out?” How are investigations normally initiated? What tools are they implementing to check users or predicting a disgruntled employee?” UEBA? CASB? Employee surveys that are ‘anonymous’? Someone who reported others and it was dismissed? What if HR ‘gets it wrong’ or ‘it’s a hunt to find people no into ‘groupthink’ or ‘not a culture fit’? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/french-worker-fired-for-not-being-fun-at-work-wins-lawsuit-cubik-responds/ How can organizations be mindful of how and what data is collected to mitigate risk without affecting employee trust? And who watches the watchers to ensure data is handled responsibly? Are there any privacy guidelines companies need to understand before they implement such a system? (GDPR? CCPA? Privacy notices? Consent to monitoring on login? https://securiti.ai/blog/hr-employee-data-protection/ ) Are companies causing the thing they are protecting against? (making an insider threat because they’ve become repressive?) (hoping there’s an ‘everything in moderation idea here… finding the happy medium between responsible ‘observability’ and ‘surveillance’) Lots of ‘insider threat’ tools, including from EDR companies. Do companies do a good job of explaining to employees why you need EDR? Quiet Quitting - latest term for companies to use to describe “employee has a side gig”. How does this figure into insider threat? Is it assumed that people only have one ‘thing’ they do, or did the lack of a commute give people more time during the pandemic to diversify? Solutions for employees? Separate their work and private/side gig?

Guest info Name and Title: Nickolas Means, VP of Engineering at SYM Email/Social Media Contact: @nmeans on Twitter, @nmeans@ruby.social on Mastodon Time Zone (if other than Pacific): Central (Austin, TX) Show Topic Summary / Intro We welcome Nickolas Means to the stream. Nick is the VP of Engineering at Sym, the adaptive access tool built for developers. He's been an engineering leader for more than a decade, focused on helping teams build velocity through trust and autonomy. He's also a regular speaker at conferences around the world, teaching more effective software development practices through stories of real-world engineering triumphs and failures. He’s also the co-host of “Managing Up” a podcast with Management tips, stories, and interviews to help navigate the challenges of managing creative and technical teams. Questions and potential sub-topics (5 minimum): 'blameless environment' during an incident. We can discuss working an incident and if a 'blameless' environment the exception or the rule (stories from the trenches are always welcome) Building a compliance program without tanking your engineering velocity... I'd like to speak about that in terms of overall security (product security, scanning, license checks, and more) Is there a playbook to building more efficient dev and security teams? Can cross training dev in basic security, or security in sprint planning processes make a better experience for all? Will we ever solve ‘shifting left’? What does Shifting Left really mean to engineering teams, or is that a term security people created to try and speak ‘dev/eng’? ‘Managing Up’... security is often asked to do a lot. Be STO when you don’t manage the resources, timeline, etc. When teams are small, you’re either in the operational/tactical, when management wants a ‘tactical/strategic’ view. What can the overall business do to create a good working relationship out of the gate? “Make a dashboard” is all well and good, except when your org lacks maturity across the board. What are some realistic expectations management should have when the company is small?
