The Department of Know: PeopleSoft exploit, Ford brings back gray beards, LLM vetting
This week's Department of Know is hosted by Rich Stroffolino, with guests David Cross, CISO, Atlassian; Kathleen Mullin, Director, SABSA Institute; Montez Fitzpatrick, CISO, Navvis; and Howard Holton, former CEO, GigaOm. Get the show notes here: https://cisoseries.com/the-department-of-know-peoplesoft-exploit-ford-brings-back-gray-beards-llm-vetting/ Huge thanks to our sponsor, Silent Push Most cybersecurity approaches are completely reactive. Victim organizations are hit with an attack and the chase ensues. Silent Push closes this gap with its Preemptive Cyber Defense platform. Silent Push tracks adversary infrastructure and infrastructure changes across the Internet during the attack preparation phase - while attackers are still staging domains, IPs, and hosting and Silent Push turns that into Indicators of Future Attack® to defend with confidence. For a CISO, that turns invisible risk into early warning, an average of 140 days before a campaign shows up in your environment. Time to act, and a smaller window of exposure, before a threat ever reaches your environment.
