Is there still a network or has it slipped away from us entirely? What about efforts for localization because people do not trust the cloud, its providers or its reliability (ala Twitter vs. the Fediverse?). Do you still need actual hardware firewalls? What about VPNs? How long will these devices still be around as everyone goes to the cloud and SDWAN technologies? And what about identity? If you can nail identity, doesn't that set you up to be a cloud-first organization? Join us for a discussion with Sinan and the security weekly hosts as we tackle these questions!

The U.S. is at an inflection point in terms of cyber threats; Critical infrastructure attacks are growing more frequent and consequential, and the White House recently called the cyber talent gap of nearly 770,000 open positions a “national security challenge.” Kelly Rozumalski, SVP at Booz Allen Hamilton leading the firm’s national cyber defense business, joins BSW to discuss why upskilling and reskilling are key to closing the cyber talent gap at the federal level and how a collective defense posture across government and private sector can enable us to better secure U.S. critical infrastructure.

A deep-rooted cyber security culture is crucial, and it goes as far back as the hiring process… 10 years ago, a typical hiring process consisted of working your way through a checklist, hiring individuals based solely on a CV. Today, the ‘Simon Sinek’ culture is gaining more prevalence, with employers realizing that hiring the right person, rather than the CV, can have immeasurable benefits for business. Ryan will talk about why this is particularly true within the cyber security sphere, and why business leaders should follow this particular ‘Simon Sinek’ strategy to build a successful security operation, and secure business, starting directly with the human’s that run it. At Stripe OLT, Ryan’s Security Operations team has been built upon diverse collective experiences, from military personnel and laborer’s to teachers and university graduates. Through focusing on direct experiences and personal encounters, this presentation will place emphasis on the importance of a CIA Triad hiring structure and demonstrate how fostering a culture of internal trust is integral in defending against cyber-threats and protecting all businesses. You will walk away from this session knowing why it is important to employ the right individual rather than the CV, and how adopting this approach can drastically improve how a business responds to and manages security threats, company wide.

MongoDB recently announced the industry’s first encrypted search scheme using breakthrough cryptography engineering called Queryable Encryption. This technology gives developers the ability to query encrypted sensitive data in a simple and intuitive way without impacting performance, with zero cryptography experience required. Data remains encrypted at all times on the database, including in memory and in the CPU; keys never leave the application and cannot be accessed by the database server. While adoption of cloud computing continues to increase, many organizations across healthcare, financial services, and government are still risk-averse. They don’t want to entrust another provider with sensitive workloads. This encryption capability removes the need to ever trust an outside party with your data. This end-to-end client-side encryption uses novel encrypted index data structures in such a way that for the first time, developers can run expressive queries on fully encrypted confidential workloads. Queryable Encryption is based on well-tested and established standard NIST cryptographic primitives to provide strong protection from attacks against the database, including insider threats, highly privileged administrators and cloud infrastructure staff. So even another Capital One type breach is not possible.

Cider Security’s recently published research of the Top 10 CI/CD Security Risks acts to identify vulnerabilities to help defenders focus on areas to secure their CI/CD ecosystem. They created a free learning tool with a deliberately vulnerable environment to demonstrate these flaws -- “CI/CD Goat”. Like similar tools, this helps appsec and devops teams gain a better understanding of major CI/CD security risks and, importantly, their appropriate countermeasures.

Is it okay for Sullivan to take the fall while the rest of Uber and involved parties plead out with little to no punishment?
We'll tackle all these questions and more with our excellent panel, comprised of:
