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.

With an alarming increase in K-12 cybersecurity attacks, districts are considering new ways to protect their students and staff. With the need to increase the cybersecurity talent pipeline, the solution to the problem is much larger than just increasing protective technology measures to keep schools safe. Schools must also be proactive in training the next generation of cybersecurity experts.

Developers ignore security issues. But can we really blame them? After all, security folks bombard them with an endless stream of issues that need to be addressed with no way for them to separate what’s actually critical from all the noise, all while they are expected to release software more frequently and faster than ever before. It makes sense why developers view security as something that just gets in their way and slows them down. To make application security easy, we must make it developer-first. This is the future of AppSec.

Since IT network secrets unlock access to highly privileged systems and data, securing secrets is just as critical to preventing cyberattacks as securing end-user passwords. One study found that 75% of ransomware attacks involve compromised credentials – most of the time, RDP credentials. However, secrets management is a challenge for IT teams, who must mitigate secrets sprawl, hardcoded and embedded credentials, and duplicative data stores in hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments. Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) is a fully cloud-based, Zero-Knowledge platform for managing IT infrastructure secrets such as API keys, database passwords, cloud access keys, certificates, SSH keys, service account passwords, and any other type of confidential data. KSM seamlessly integrates into nearly any data environment, with no additional hardware or cloud-hosted infrastructure required. It offers out-of-the-box integrations with a wide variety of DevOps tools, including Github Actions, Kubernetes, Ansible and more.

With all of your focus and investment on 3rd party risk management, there is likely still a blind-side that remains unaddressed. It is an area that should be moved to the top of your priority list - both for its potential to cause material losses in the form of response costs and fines and judgements, and for the ease in which it can be mitigated. It is a risk introduced by the 3rd party vendors you rely upon (and the nth parties they work with) to power and enhance your website. The threat of JavaScript based attacks - click-jacking, digital skimming, formjacking, defacement, "Magecart" - exists for any organization collecting sensitive data or conducting transactions through their web properties. Attacks of this type have done damage to some of the biggest brands in the world - costing household names like British Airways tens of millions - and they happen by the hundreds per month. Already in 2022, we've seen headlines of major client-side attacks like the one that hit Segway - potentially impacting nearly a million consumers. This is an area of exposure introduced through your own code, and by your partners, that can only be addressed at the client-side. It remains widely unaddressed, as focus in website security to this point has been on securing the server side. Join us for an exploration of the threat of these attacks, real-world examples of the material impact they have caused, and dialogue on the approaches to mitigating this risk with pros and cons of each.

The uptick in cyber incidents- and in particular ransomware- offer an opportunity if not serve as a clarion call for cyber insurance industry adaptation. In short, risk transfer that meets the needs of both industry and insurers demands more effective coordination of infosec controls, more complete and continuous optics, and more robust risk modeling.
