By and large, individual malware strains come and go, but to stop attacks more quickly, organizations need to gain a deeper understanding of attack techniques. By analyzing the attack goals of attackers, organizations can better align their defenses to adapt to quickly changing attack techniques. FortiGuard Labs analyzed the functionality of detected malware by detonating the malware samples collected throughout the year. The result was a list of the individual tactics, techniques, and procedures the malware would have accomplished had the attack payloads been executed. The intelligence we gathered indicates that stopping an adversary earlier is critical. Understanding adversaries’ goals is crucial to defending against the flood of changing techniques they may use. By focusing on a few identified techniques, an organization could shut down a malware’s methods for attack entirely in some situations.

The zero trust approach can be applied to almost every technology choice in the modern enterprise, and Kubernetes is no exception. For Kubernetes network security particularly, adopting a zero trust model involves some radical changes, including moving from a security perimeter defined by firewalls, IP addresses, and cluster boundaries to a granular approach that treats the network itself as adversarial and moves the security boundary down to the pod level. William will discuss why the zero trust approach is increasingly necessary for comprehensive Kubernetes security, the dos and don’ts when adopting Kubernetes, the implications for operators and security teams, and where tooling like service mesh plays a role.

Defensive and Offensive skills have never been mutually exclusive, but the value in training across disciplines has often been overlooked. Catherine joins us today to explain why familiarity with offensive skills, tools, and the attacker's mindset is such a huge benefit for defenders. A few of the highlights we'll cover in this interview include:
- How to get started, learning offensive tools and techniques
- What it means to be an 'Active Defender'
- How to get into the head of the attacker
- How to avoid 'tool-focused tunnel vision'

In the recent Shields Up advisory, CISA released guidance advising enterprises to prepare for an influx of malicious cyber activity. The advisory includes best practices for reducing the likelihood of a damaging cyber intrusion and how to detect and respond to potential incidents from nation state-sponsored actors. Josh Snow joins Enterprise Security Weekly to provide additional, practical advice for analysts who are on the front lines of the developing cyber conflict. He will dive into the specific practices and protocols that defenders should shore up, as well as behavioral indicators that signal active exploitation attempts.

As the world shifted to remote work, then hybrid work, organizations have struggled with legacy technologies to solve the security challenges of this new way of working. But what if you could use the PC platform, coupled with endpoint isolation, to create a highly efficient and productive platform for users? Jonathan Gohstand from HP Wolf joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the challenges and how endpoint isolation can: - improve your overall risk management - reduce the complexity of multiple solutions/agents, and - improve user experience and productivity

Cybersecurity buzzwords tend to go through a process. They're used as a differentiator. Then everyone adopts them and things get out of control. The term Zero Trust originally gained traction in InfoSec thanks to the model designed by John Kindervag during his time at Forrester. These days, you could be seeing the term Zero Trust because:
1. a vendor makes a product that fits into any one of dozens of categories that contribute to a Zero Trust architecture (IAM, MFA, ZTNA, micro segmentation, directory services, etc)
2. a vendor is using 'zero trust' as a metaphor (small z, small t)
3. a vendor is using 'zero trust' as a philosophy, or company principle (small z, small t)
4. the CMO said it needs to be somewhere on the website for SEO
5. someone told a founder to put it in the sales and/or pitch deck
Steve joins us to separate the cyber virtue signaling from the truth of what Zero Trust actually looks like, why it's difficult, and what impact federal interest in Zero Trust will have on this trend.
