Operational Resilience in Healthcare & Zscaler Uncovers Record-Breaking Ransom - Marty Momdjian, Brett Stone-Gross - ESW #372
Many cybersecurity experts are calling recent attacks on healthcare more sophisticated than ever. One attack disrupted prescription drug orders for over a third of the U.S. and has cost $1.5 billion in incident response and recovery services. Separately, an operator of over 140 hospitals and senior care facilities in the U.S. was also victimized. These attacks are becoming all too common. Disruptions can lead to life-and-death situations with massive impacts on patient care. All industries, especially healthcare, have to better prepare for ransomware attacks. Are you ready to turn the tables on threat actors? Marty Momdjian, Semperis EVP and General Manager provides advice on how hospitals can regain the upper hand. This segment is sponsored by Semperis. Visit https://securityweekly.com/semperisbh to learn more about them! The annual report details the latest ransomware attack trends and targets, ransomware families, and effective defense strategies. Findings in the report uncovered an 18% overall increase in ransomware attacks year-over-year, as well as a record-breaking ransom payment of US$75 million – nearly double the highest publicly known ransomware payout – to the Dark Angels ransomware group.

Cybersecurity's Love Affair with Distractions - Fred Wilmot - ESW #370
Remember 20 years ago? When we were certain SIEMs would grant our cybersecurity teams superpowers? Or 10 years ago, when we were sure that NGAV would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 15 years ago, when we were sure that application control would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 18 years ago, when NAC would put an end to unauthorized network access? Why do we keep thinking that the next vendor offering is going to solve all our problems? In this interview, we talk with Fred Wilmot about the hard work of building effective processes and resilient architectures that will actually yield reductions in risk and detection/response capabilities that actually work. We'll discuss shifts in thinking that can move us past the latest distractions, and keep security teams focused on work that moves the needle. Fred may also mention his past transgressions against the industry and what he's doing to "wipe out the red from his ledger". Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-370

Can the latest wave of AI innovation deliver for security operations teams? - ESW #369
Edward Wu thinks so! Understandably so, as his startup, Dropzone.ai is making a big bet on generative AI to change the face (and pace) of security operations. We'll talk about what has changed here, and I have so many questions: after many generations of AI/ML technology in security, is the current gen really that dramatically different? Dropzone is far from the only startup with the same idea here, how will they differentiate? Is the problem that we need more help than we can possibly hire, or are we fundamentally doing something wrong in security operations? Specifically, what is this tech doing to help? Finally, we'll wrap by talking about where this tech goes next, and can we get there with current technology, or are we dependent on more breakthroughs from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta?

Generative AI (as used by defenders AND attackers) will Drive SOC Evolution - Greg Notch - ESW #369
The emergence of generative AI has caused us to rethink things on two fronts: how we consume threat detection data, as defenders how we need to shift our thinking and approaches to prepare for attackers' newfound GenAI capabilities But wait - is GenAI even useful for defenders or attackers? We'll dive deep into the state of AI as it pertains to security operations, just as Gartner announces that AI is hitting the trough of disillusionment. What better time to dispel the hype and focus on where real progress can be made? Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-369

What's wrong with the cybersecurity industry and what we can do about it - Richard Hollis - ESW #368
On this segment, we're going to zoom all the way out to discuss one of my favorite topics: what's fundamentally wrong with this industry? I believe we're at an inflection point: security teams have budget, staff, and more sway at the board level than ever. The cybersecurity market is doing great - growing at an astonishing rate with cyber startups that almost never fail and funding that survives every market downturn. So why are failures also breaking records? What are we getting wrong? Why are we failing? These are the questions Richard, Katie, and I will try to answer in this segment.

Joiners, Movers, Leavers, and Failures: Why is Identity Management Still Struggling? - Henrique Teixeira - ESW #367
I'm always thrilled to chat with ex-analysts, and Henrique Teixeira can cover a lot of ground with us on the topic of identity management and governance. The more I talk to folks about IAM/IGA, the more I'm shocked at how little has changed. If anything, it seems like we've gone backwards a bit, with the addition of cloud SaaS, mobile devices, and shadow IT. Identity is one of the most common entry points for attacks, so we've got to do better as an industry here. We'll cover a variety of topics in this interview, including: Why Henrique chose to go to Saviynt from Gartner Vendor risk concentration in identity Resilience in identity, especially when depending on a SaaS IdP Identity attack evolution (and the creation of the ITDR category) What's working in identity to move things forward, and what is holding us back This segment is sponsored by Saviynt.
