The Future of Access Management - Jeff Shiner - ESW #404
Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)
As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data. In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He’ll explore the...

What is old is new again: default deny on the endpoint - Colby DeRodeff, Danny Jenkins - ESW #402
Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)
Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most. The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible....

Soft skills for engineers - Evgeniy Kharam, Paul Nguyen - ESW #401
Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)
When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career...

I've been so excited to see the external attack surface management (EASM) market take off in the past few years. This market category focuses exclusively on security issues exposed to the public Internet - issues ANYONE can see.
All organizations have exposure management problems, but industries that are traditionally underfunded when it comes to cybersecurity and IT are particularly worse off. We see breaches in these industries every day - industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and education. Of course, exposure issues don't stop at the network boundary - all organizations have internal exposures to worry about as well.
With all the breaches we see every week, we've become somewhat desensitized to them. Is it possible to address even just the most critical exposures (a fraction of 1% of all vulnerabilities) in one of the most underfunded industries? In this episode, we dive into how a small school system in New Mexico took on this challenge.
