What if all these recommendations to shift left were more about shifting focus? It's all too easy to become preoccupied with vulns, whether figuring out how to find them earlier in the SDLC or spending time fixing them within specific number of days. Successful DevSecOps approaches can be so much more than just vulns and so much more than just tools. Sure, tools are useful for identifying known vulns in dependencies and new vulns in code, but teams that emphasize people and culture will find it easier to shift their attention to the security of their product and creating secure designs.

CEOs and boards struggle with their digital transformation process. Does their operations hinder or align with business initiatives? Has their security operations scaled to meet the data and digital demands to protect against business risk? In today’s episode, we’re talking to Chris Morales, CISO at Netenrich, who’ll provide compelling insights towards security transformation. Security organizations all face similar security challenges of too much data, siloed teams, underperforming legacy tools, and time-consuming and laborious threat investigation work. We’ll discuss the approach enterprises need to consider in advancing their security maturity. It’s one that’s data-driven, adaptive, and predictive.

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!

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.

As we move more infrastructure into the cloud, the traditional concepts of risk start to change. 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.
