On this week's news segment, we go down a bit of a rabbit hole on data lakes and have a GREAT conversation about where security data wrangling might or might not go in the future. We also discuss Nord Security's funding and $3B valuation, try to figure out what Synqly is doing, and discuss IronNet's demise.
We also find out which email solution is more secure (at least, according to insurance claim data), Google or Microsoft!
We wrap up, learning that forms of CAPTCHAs are apparently broken now, $3800 gets you a gaming PC in the shape of a sneaker, and someone has created the DevOps equivalent of dieselgate!

Communication is a skill that doesn't appear on top 10 lists, rarely appears as a conference topic, and doesn't appear enough on job requirements. Yet communication is one of the critical ways that security teams influence developers, convey risk, and share knowledge with others. Even our own Security Weekly site falls a little short with only a podcast category for "Training" instead of more options around communication and collaboration.
Lina shares her experience presenting to executives and boards in high-stress situations, as well as training incident responders on real-world scenarios.

It's no longer just about networks and servers, but also needs to address identities and not just human identities. Cloud infrastructure introduces additional identity types that need to be addressed as part of your risk management program. Eric Kedrosky, CISO at Sonrai Security, joins us to discuss how to think differently about risk in the cloud.
