Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio)

Interview with Dave Lewis Organizations believe they have a firm grip on security with SSO and corporate IT policies, but in reality, shadow IT lurks in the background—expanding attack surfaces and exposing sensitive data. Employees bypass security controls for the sake of convenience, while SSO fails to provide the comprehensive security net organizations expect. Talk about the critical weaknesses in traditional SSO implementations, how shadow IT thrives under the radar, and why enterprises continue to experience data breaches despite security investments. Can cover real-world examples of security failures, highlight the role of human behavior in risk, and provide actionable strategies to regain control over enterprise security.

I listened to most of a debate between Marcus Hutchins and Daniel Miessler over whether generative AI will be good enough to replace a lot of jobs (Daniel's take), or so bad that it won't take any (Marcus's take). I got frustrated though, because I feel like some foundational assumptions were ignored, and not enough examples were shared or prepared. Assumption #1: Jobs exist because work needs to be done. This is a false assumption. Check out a book called "Bullshit Jobs" to go down this particular rabbit hole. Assumption #2: The primary task of a job is the job. This is rarely the case, unless you work in the service industry. How much of a developer's job is writing code? A lot less than you think. Employees spend a massive amount of time communicating with other employees, via meetings, emails, Slack chats - can AI replace this? Maybe all that communication is wasteful and inefficient? Could be, but for every job AI supposedly replaces, it becomes someone else's job to manage that AI agent. Does all of middle management become expert prompt engineers, or do they also disappear with no employees to manage? Assumption #3: Jobs aren't already being replaced. They are, they're just not terribly visible jobs. That contractor your marketing team was using to build blog/SEO content? He's probably gone. The in-house or contract graphic designer? Probably gone. There's a whole swath of jobs out there, where quality isn't very important, but work needs to be produced, and those jobs are being actively replaced with generative AI. With that said, I don't see any full time jobs that require quality work and a lot of communication with other employees getting replaced. Yet? Ever? That's the question.

The modern workspace, increasingly reliant on cloud-based applications, browser-first access, and AI integration, faces significant security challenges that outpace the capabilities of traditional tools. Legacy solutions, including VPNs and even early ZTNA implementations, are proving vulnerable to sophisticated attacks leading to data breaches and operational disruptions. The fundamental shift in how we work demands a new approach, one that closes the gaps left by the platform approach. We need the ability to 'trust nothing and click on anything with zero risk.' We need to take zero trust beyond the network that we operate and control.

Fuzzing has been one of the most successful ways to improve software quality. And it demonstrates how improving software quality improves security. Artur Cygan shares his experience in building and applying fuzzers to barcode scanners, smart contracts, and just about any code you can imagine. We go through the useful relationship between unit tests and fuzzing coverage, nudging fuzzers into deeper code paths, and how LLMs can help guide a fuzzer into using better inputs for its testing.

In this era of technological advancements where businesses are going digital and more cloud based while preferring remote work environment, cyber threats are surprising growing at the rate never seen before. This makes Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) no more an optional thing but a core crucial requirement. These are not just IT tools anymore- they are important for the security of people, data, and operations. More and more organizations from different industries are now turning to IAM and PAM as managed services to handle the growing complexity of access control and cybersecurity. Why? Because managing identity internally is becoming harder, more expensive, and riskier. With a trusted managed service partner, businesses gain expert support, 24/7 monitoring, scalability, and peace of mind—all while staying compliant and secure. This segment will explore how IAM and PAM managed services are helping companies reduce risk, simplify operations, and stay ahead of evolving security challenges. Whether you're an IT leader, security professional, or business decision-maker, you’ll learn why outsourcing identity and access management is quickly becoming a smart, strategic move for the modern enterprise https://www.idmexpress.com/blogs https://www.idmexpress.com/post/cyberark-privileged-access-management-pam-implementation https://www.idmexpress.com/iam-products This segment is sponsored by IDMEXPRESS.

What makes a threat modeling process effective? Do you need a long list of threat actors? Do you need a long list of terms? What about a short list like STRIDE?

Blumira In the evolving world of cybersecurity, the shift from a purely threat-centric mindset to a focus on operational excellence is no longer just a trend—it’s a necessity. Matthew Warner, CEO and co-founder of Blumira, argues that this shift is particularly crucial for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the managed service providers (MSPs) that support them. Matthew believes that traditional SIEM and detection solutions have historically fallen short for these organizations, often due to their complexity, high cost, and steep learning curves. As a result, many SMBs have struggled to keep up with the sophistication of modern threats. Blumira was founded to change that. Matthew’s vision is rooted in democratizing security—making powerful, automated detection and response tools simple, affordable, and accessible for everyone, especially those who need them most. By designing platforms that prioritize operational excellence—efficiency, usability, and actionable intelligence—Blumira enables organizations to be proactive rather than reactive. During the conversation, Matthew will share insights into the latest technologies and trends transforming the cybersecurity space, and offer actionable guidance for IT decision-makers. He'll explore how shifting strategy from chasing every alert to building a solid, efficient operational foundation can lead to better outcomes and stronger protection in the long run. Blumira Partners Blumira Launches New M365 Threat Response Feature Security should be accessible to everyone. At Blumira, we’re building the future of detection and response — simple, smart, and built to empower the teams who need it most.

CISA has been championing Secure by Design principles. Many of the principles are universal, like adopting MFA and having opinionated defaults that reduce the need for hardening guides. Matthew Rogers talks about how the approach to Secure by Design has to be tailored for Operational Technology (OT) systems. These systems have strict requirements on safety and many of them rely on protocols that are four (or more!) decades old. He explains how the considerations in this space go far beyond just memory safety concerns.

Segment 1 - Enterprise Security News, Live at IDV This week, in the enterprise security news, Segment 2 - Interview with Dr. Tina Srivastava The #1 cause of data breaches is stolen credentials. What if we didn’t store credentials anymore? We explore Badge’s innovative approach—which enables users to generate a private key on the fly instead of storing credentials—to enhance security, solve key use cases such as shared devices, and deliver measurable ROI. Additionally, we'll uncover the unavoidable recovery flow challenges, where users must rely on a pre-enrolled recovery device or fallback passwords, and discuss what this means for enterprise security and cost savings. By shifting the paradigm toward ephemeral key generation, Badge eliminates stored credentials, optimizes enterprise cost savings, and future-proofs authentication.
