Youtube VOD: https://youtu.be/G3PxZFmDyj4 #appsec, #owasp, #ASVS, #joshGrossman, #informationsecurity, #SBOM, #supplychain, #podcast, #twitch, #brakesec, #securecoding, #Codeanalysis Questions and topics: 1. The background to the topic, why is it something that interests you? How do you convince developers to take your course? 2. What do you think the root cause of the gap is? 3. Who is causing the gaps? (‘go fast’ culture, overzealous security, GRC requirements, basically everyone?) 4. Where do gaps begin? Is it the ‘need’ to ‘move fast’? 5. What can devs do to involve security in their process? Sprint planning? SCA tools? 6. How have you seen this go wrong at organizations? 7. How important is it to have security early in the product development process? 8. What sort of challenges do you think mainstream security people face in AppSec scenarios? 9. How does Product Security differ from Application Security? (what if the product is an application?) 10. What are the key development concepts that security people need to be familiar with to effectively get involved in AppSec/ProdSec? 11.. How do you suggest a security team approach AppSec/ProdSec? Leadership buy-in Effective/valuable processes Tools should achieve a goal 12. SBOM - NTIA is asking for it, How to get dev teams to care. 13. Key takeaways?

Recorded: 08 Apr 2024 Youtube VOD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8qApvsFtqw Show Topic Summary: If you want to get in the mind of a board member, I submit to you my discussion with Mary Gardner we did last night on #brakesec #education . Join Mary and I as we discuss the functions of a board, messaging to various levels of leadership and teams, and what it takes to make that leap to being a CISO. And when you're done, and you need someone to help your org get more mature, contact the team at GoldiKnox . #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #ciso #leadership #GRC Questions and topics: https://hbr.org/2023/05/boards-are-having-the-wrong-conversations-about-cybersecurity “Just 69% of responding board members see eye-to-eye with their chief information security officers (CISOs). Fewer than half (47%) of members serve on boards that interact with their CISOs regularly, and almost a third of them only see their CISOs at board presentations. “ They obviously have different priorities, so what brings everyone to the table to discuss? Are they even worried about security? Tactical goals vs. org goals and aligning them What are boards most worried about these days? Staying relevant in the face of AI? What tech will protext them from the newest threats? GRC is forced security, security is completely optional, Compliance requires some sort of security Additional information / pertinent LInks (Would you like to know more?): Research organizations (gartner, forrester, etc) https://goldiknox.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/board-needs-help-planning-cybersecurity-start-here-daniel-briley-k7xzc https://hbr.org/2022/11/is-your-board-prepared-for-new-cybersecurity-regulations https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-chief-security-officer-uber-sentenced-three-years-probation-covering-data Show points of Contact: Amanda Berlin: @infosystir @hackershealth Brian Boettcher: @boettcherpwned Bryan Brake: https://linkedin.com/in/brakeb Brakesec Website: https://www.brakeingsecurity.com Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/@brakeseced Twitch Channel: https://twitch.tv/brakesec Discord: https://discord.gg/brakesec…

Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed on this program are solely the views of the individuals involved and by no means represent absolute facts. Opinions expressed by the host and guests can change at any time, and do not represent views of past, present, or future employers. Guest Bio: Nicole is the Chief Product Officer at Axio. Nicole has spent her career building awareness around the benefits of usable security and human-centered security as a way to increase company revenue and create a seamless user experience. Youtube VOD Link: https://youtube.com/live/tFaAB9an47g Questions and topics: Usable security: is it an oxymoron? What determines if the security is ‘usable’ or no? We sacrifice security for a better UX, what can be done to alleviate that? Or is it some sort of sliding scale in “poor UX, amazing security or awesome UX, poor security” Examples of poor UX for ‘people’: MFA, and password managers. SEC updates and ‘material events’ and how that would affect security, IR, and other company reporting functions. Also, additional documentation (Regulation S-K Item 106) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nicole-sundin-5225a1149_sec-adopts-rules-on-cybersecurity-risk-management-activity-7090065804083290112-ISD8 Are companies ready to talk about their cybersecurity? Can the SEC say “you’re not doing enough?” What is ‘enough’? Are we heading toward yet another audit needed for public companies, similar to SOX? When does an 8-K get publicly disclosed? Materiality is based on a “reasonable investor”? So, you don’t need to announce that until you’re certain, and it’s based on what you can collect? Cyber Risk Management and some good examples of how to set up a proper cyber risk organization Additional Links: https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/usable-cybersecurity/images-media/Is%20Usable%20Security%20an%20Oxymoron.pdf http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/protection/Basic.html https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-139 https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/munter-statement-assessing-materiality-030922 https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/cybersecurity-risk-regulatory/sec-final-cybersecurity-disclosure-rules.html https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/technology-onepagers/hc-computing.html https://securityscorecard.com/blog/what-is-cyber-security-performance-management/…

We also talk about what a ‘junior position’ in infosec looks like with AI doing all the “Level 1 SOC Analyst” type roles normally given to someone fresh to the security industry. Questions and topics: Is infosec over reliant on automation? Automation comes with its own challenges. Documentation woes Automation is usually found in userland Aronetics’ Thor provides defense and counter-offense tamper-proof technology digitally tied to Letter of Marque - good idea, or geopolitical disaster waiting to happen? Siloes and communication -best ways to overcome those in an org and outside? How do we overcome siloing?
