Well, there are a lot of terms that are around in Cyber these days. I think we could do shows every week for a while and never get through them all. From AI to Zero Day Exploits, there are a plethora of terms that everyone uses all the time but maybe you don't know them yet. So, I thought we would grab some of the more common ones and try to explain.

This is a topic our hosts are very passionate about, and we're excited to discuss with Mariana Padilla, co-founder and CEO of Hackerverse. She wants to change how cybersecurity sales works, with a focus on making the process more transparent and ideally demonstrating a product's efficacy before buyers even need to talk to a sales team.
We'll discuss why existing sales processes are broken, how VC funding impacts vendor sales/marketing, and why community-led growth is so important.

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act was a watershed moment in corporate governance, fundamentally altering how companies approached financial reporting and internal operational controls. By holding executives personally accountable for the accuracy of financial reports, SOX restored investor confidence in the wake of corporate malfeasance. The SEC's new cybersecurity rule represents a similar pursuit to restore investor confidence — this time for the digital age, centered on integrating cybersecurity into overall risk management.
Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the similarities between SOX and SEC's Cyber Rule. The SEC's cybersecurity rule introduced several vital requirements that build on the principles established by SOX, including:

This week's interview dives deep into the state of biometrics with two Forrester Research analysts!
This discussion compares and contrasts regional approaches to biometrics; examine the security challenges and benefits of their implementation; and reveal how biometrics holds the keys to a range of engagement models of the future.
Andras Cser dives into the technical end of things and explains how biometrics can be resilient to attack. We can't replace our fingerprints or faces, but as Andras explains, there's no need to, thanks to how biometrics actually work. Then, Enza takes us through the latest on privacy in biometrics - a concern for both consumers, and businesses tasked with complying with privacy regulations and avoiding costly fines.
Finally, get a sneak peek into the upcoming Forrester Security & Risk Summit. Whether you're an industry professional or just curious about the implications of biometrics, this episode delivers insights you won't want to miss!

Naturally, the next approach to try is a federated one. How do we break down cybersecurity into more bite-sized components? How do we alleviate all this CISO stress we've heard about, and make their job seem less impossible than it does today?
This will be a more standards and GRC focused discussion, covering:

There have been a lot of bold claims about how generative AI and machine learning will transform the SOC. Ironically, the SOC was (arguably) invented only because security products failed to make good on bold claims. The cybersecurity market is full of products that exist only to solve the problems created by other security products (Security Analytics, SOC Automation, Risk-Based Vulnerability Management).
Other products are natural evolutions and pick up where others leave off. In this interview, we'll explore what AI can and can't do, particularly when it comes to alert triage and other common SOC tasks.

We kicked things off by talking about the Holiday Hack Challenge, which is like this massive cyber playground that Sans puts out every year for everyone from fifth graders to government spooks. Ed Skoudis broke down how they're changing things this time, with an early release and a phased approach that'll give you more time to play and learn. But the real mind-bender was when Ed spilled the beans on how they build this whole thing using one giant Google sheet - I mean, we're talking hundreds of tabs, color-coded cells, and JSON to create entire virtual worlds. Then we covered the rest of the security news including hacking Mazda's infotainment system and more!

Alright, so we dove deep into some pretty wild stuff this week. We started off talking about zip files inside zip files. This is a variation of old-school zip file tricks, and the latest method described here is still causing headaches for antivirus software. Then we geeked out about infrared signals and the Flipper Zero, which brought back memories of the TV-B-Gone. But the real kicker was our discussion on end-of-life software and the whole CVE numbering authority mess. Avanti's refusal to issue a CVE for their end-of-life product sparked a heated debate about cybersecurity accountability and conflicts of interest.

In this week's interview, Melinda Marks' joins us to discuss her latest research. Her recent report Modernizing Application Security to Scale for Cloud-Native Development delves into many aspects and trends affecting AppSec as it matures, particularly in cloud-first organizations.
We also discuss the fuzzy line between "cloud-native" AppSec and everything else that refuses to disappear, particularly for organizations that weren't born cloud-native and still have legacy workloads to worry about.
Integrating security into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC) trends, best of breed vs platform, and other aspects of AppSec get discussed as well!
