Since the dawn of the internet, companies have been fighting cyber vulnerabilities with a myriad of traditional technologies. And assigning cybersecurity training to people without really knowing its effectiveness or being able to tell the difference between knowledge and behavior. This is why AwareGO created the Human Risk Assessment. Designed by behavioral and cybersecurity experts, it allows organizations to measure human risk and resilience across a number of critical cybersecurity threat vectors. It measures cyber risks connected to social media that are not only personal but can affect the workplace as well. It helps assess awareness of secure password handling with multiple interactive experiences and situations. And it allows you to discover how employees would deal with tricky situations around the workplace, such as tailgating and shouldersurfing …. and issues related to remote work. All in a safe and friendly environment. After completing the assessment employees get individualized results with an explanation of what they did right and what they could have done better. This offers guidance and a chance to learn. The overall results help organizations gather actionable insights and make informed decisions about their security strategy. The Human Risk Assessment works as a stand alone product but its flexibility allows integration into existing platforms. When combined with AwareGO’s live action training content it can bring your organization’s cyber resilience to the next level.

In order to run a successful SOC, security leaders rely on tools with different strengths to create layers of defense. This has led to a highly siloed industry with over 2,000 vendors, each with their own specific function and who very seldom work together. To gain an advantage on attackers, we need to start seeing cybersecurity as a team sport––united for a shared mission. In this session, ExtraHop’s Chase Snyder discusses why and how vendors should work together to enable better integrated security for their customers. He’ll answer questions like “what is XDR?” and “how do I get my vendors to work together?”.

The unique nature of cloud native apps, Kubernetes, and microservices based architectures introduces new risks and opportunities that require AppSec practitioners to adapt their approach to security tooling, integration with the CI/CD pipeline, and how they engage developers to fix vulnerabilities. In this episode, we’ll discuss how AppSec teams can effectively manage the transition from securing traditional monolithic applications to modern cloud native applications and the types of security tooling needed to provide coverage across custom application code, dependencies, container images, and web/API interfaces. Finally, we’ll conclude with tips and tricks that will help make your developers more efficient at fixing vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC and your pen testers more effective.

In 2023, at least five new “rights-based” data privacy laws will become enforceable in the United States at the state level, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Common to all of these laws are information security requirements, including the need for risk assessments and the need for authenticating data access requests. In this podcast we’ll speak with an information security legal veteran on what these new laws mean for cybersecurity professionals and their data protection programs.

In 1995, Craig Newmark started curating a list of San Francisco arts and technology events, which he personally emailed to friends and colleagues. People were soon calling it “Craig’s List.” Most know the rest of the story. But what did that rapid entry into tech entrepreneurship teach him about information security? And how did that lead to a passion for, among other things, cyber philanthropy? SC Media's Jill Aitoro will speak to Newmark about his career, and his own evolution in infosec awareness that came with it.
Among the more challenging phases for a cyber business is transitioning from inspiring startup to successful enterprise, strategically leveraging investment to scale. SC Media's Jill Aitoro will sit down with Dave Dewalt, founder of NightDragon, and Matt Carroll, CEO of NightDragon's newest investment Immuta.

Employees are on the move. As tech and security leaders adjust to managing hybrid teams, they should also plan for the loss and replacement of key security talent. Attrition and the increasing length of time needed to find a replacement leaves security programs — and firms — vulnerable. Implementing a formal succession planning process for the security organization mitigates risk and increases employee satisfaction and retention. This report provides steps for starting a succession planning program and real-world examples of companies that are already focused on developing and retaining the next generation of security talent.

Security analysts can move past traditional Indicators of Compromise from threat intel like domains, hashes, URLs, and IP addresses. These indicators typically aren't valid shortly after the incidents happen. Modern threat hunting by doing things like reading recent and relevant security articles, pull out behaviors that attackers are doing like commands such as net group "domain admins" or RDPing from workstation to workstation and translating those to threat hunting queries. I will talk about how to start small and will give a few examples where we proactively found evil in our environment.
