    Secure Coding as Critical Thinking Instead of Vulnspotting - Matias Madou - ASW #357

    Secure code should be grounded more in concepts like secure by default and secure by design than by "spot the vuln" thinking. Matias Madou shares his experience in secure coding training and the importance of teaching critical thinking. He also discusses why critical thinking is so closely related to threat modeling and how LLMs can be a tool for helping developers get beyond the superficial advice of, "Think like an attacker."

    Year of the (Clandestine) Linux Desktop, topic, and the news - Rob Allen - ESW #433

    Segment 1: Interview with Rob Allen It's the Year of the (Clandestine) Linux Desktop! As if EDR evasions weren't enough, attackers are now employing yet another method to hide their presence on enterprise systems: deploying tiny Linux VMs. Attackers are using Hyper-V and/or WSL to deploy tiny (120MB disk space and 256MB memory) Linux VMs to host a custom reverse shell and reverse proxy. In this segment, we'll discuss strategies and mitigations to battle this novel technique with Rob Allen from Threatlocker. Segment Resources: Pro-Russian Hackers Use Linux VMs to Hide in Windows Russian Hackers Abuse Hyper-V to Hide Malware in Linux VMs Qilin ransomware abuses WSL to run Linux encryptors in Windows This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

Segment 2: Topic - Threat Modeling Humanoid Robots We're entering the age of human-shaped robots, so it seems like a good time to talk about the fact that they ALREADY HAVE CVEs assigned to them.

    Securing Model Context Protocol as Companies Plan to Replace Entry Roles with AI - Rahul Parwani - BSW #421

    As AI revolutionizes how we work, it has created a new attack surface with new technologies. One of those new technologies is Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP has emerged as the standard for connecting AI to external tools, but its flexibility has created security challenges. How do we secure MCP? Rahul Parwani, Head of Product, Security Solutions at Airia, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the challenges of MCP and how to secure this new protocol. Rahul will cover how Aria's solutions help you secure your AI development by: Centralizing Access Control Enforcing Security Policies Maintaining Compliance Enabling Rapid Response This segment is sponsored by Airia.

    OT Security Doesn't Have to be a Struggle, Spotting Red Flags, Enterprise News - Joshua Hay, Todd Peterson - ESW #432

    Segment 1: OT Security Doesn't Have to be a Struggle OT/ICS/SCADA systems are often off limits to cybersecurity folks, and exempt from many controls. Attackers don't care how fragile these systems are, however. For attackers aiming to disrupt operations, fragile but critical systems fit criminals' plans nicely. In this interview, we discuss the challenge of securing OT systems with Todd Peterson and Joshua Hay from Junto Security. This segment is sponsored by Junto Security. Visit https://securityweekly.com/junto to learn more! Segment 2: Topic - Spotting Red Flags in Online Posts This week's topic segment is all about tuning your 'spidey sense' to spot myths and misconceptions online so we can avoid amplifying AI slop, scams, and other forms of Internet bunk. It was inspired by this LinkedIn post, but we've got a cybersecurity story in the news that we could have easily used for this as well (the report from MIT). Segment 3: Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Some interesting fundings Some more interesting acquisitions a new AI-related term has been coined: cyberslop the latest insights from cyber insurance claims The AI security market isn't nearly as big as it might seem cybercriminals are targeting trucking and logistics to steal goods Sorry dads, science says the smarts come from mom All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

    Defense Against Configurations as CIOs and CISOs Show Value Through Risks and Metrics - Rob Allen - BSW #420

    What's the biggest attack vector for breaches besides all of the human related ones (i.e., social engineering, phishing, compromised credentials, etc.)? You might think vulnerabilities, but it's actually misconfiguration. The top breach attack vectors are stolen or compromised credentials, phishing, and misconfigurations, which often work together. So why is it so hard to properly configure your systems? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss Defense Against Configurations and how ThreatLocker can automatically identify misconfigurations and map them to your environment's compliance and security requirements. Rob will discuss how ThreatLocker Defense Against Configurations dashboard can: Identify misconfigurations before they become exploited vulnerabilities Monitor configuration compliance with major frameworks Receive clear, actionable remediation guidance and more!

    Researching and Remediating RCEs via GitHub Actions - Bar Kaduri, Roi Nisimi - ASW #355

    Pull requests are a core part of collaboration, whether in open or closed source. GitHub has documented some of the security consequences of misconfiguring how PRs can trigger actions. But what happens when repo owners don't read the docs? Bar Kaduri and Roi Nisimi walk through their experience in reading docs, finding vulns, demonstrating exploits, and working with repo owners to improve their security. Their work highlights the challenges in maintaining good security guidance, figuring out secure defaults, and how so many orgs still struggle with triaging external security reports -- something that's becoming even more challenging when orgs are being flooded with low-quality reports from LLMs. Segment Resources: https://orca.security/resources/blog/pull-request-nightmare-github-actions-rce/ https://orca.security/resources/blog/pull-request-nightmare-part-2-exploits/ Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/asw-355

    Transforming Frontline Workflows with Passwordless Access, AI costs, and the News - Joel Burleson-Davis - ESW #431

    Segment 1: Interview with Joel Burleson-Davis Frontline workers can't afford to be slowed down by manual, repetitive logins, especially in mission-critical industries where both security and productivity are crucial. This segment will explore how inefficient login methods erode productivity, while workarounds like shared credentials increase risk, highlighting why passwordless authentication is emerging as a game-changer for frontline access to shared devices. Joel Burleson-Davis, Chief Technology Officer of Imprivata, will share how organizations can adopt frictionless and secure access management to improve both security and frontline efficiency at scale. Segment Resources: Putting Complex Passwords to Work For You This segment is sponsored by Imprivata. Visit https://securityweekly.com/imprivata to learn more about them! Topic Segment: The Economics of AI Agents Vendors are finding, after integrating agents into their processes, that agentic AI can get expensive very quickly. Of course, this isn't surprising when your goal is "review all my third party contracts and fill out questionnaires for me" and the pricing is X DOLLARS for 1M TOKENS blah blah context window, max model thinking model blah blah. No one knows what the conversion is from "review my contracts" to millions of tokens, so everyone is left to just test it out and see what the bill is at the end of the month. As we saw with Cloud when adoption started increasing in the early 2010s, we are naturally entering the era of AI cost optimization. In this segment, we'll discuss what that means, how it affects the market, and how it affects the use of AI in cybersecurity. Jackie mentions this story from Wired in the segment: https://www.wired.com/story/ai-bubble-will-burst/ News Segment Finally, in the enterprise security news, we've got funding and acquisitions 7 red flags you're doing cloud wrong security standards for open source projects post mortems of attacks on open source supply chain some analysis on current and historic AWS outages a deep dive some dumpster fires and how much would you pay for a robot that puts away the dishes?

    Quantum Computing Isn't A Threat To Blockchains - Yet - Sandy Carielli, Martha Bennett - ASW #354

    The post quantum encryption migration is going to be a challenge, but how much of a challenge? There are several reasons why it is different from every other protocol and cypher iteration in the past. Is today's hardware up to the task? Is it just swapping out a library, or is there more to it? What is the extent of software, systems, and architecture that have to be updated or replaced to complete the migration? Can we get it all done by 2030? Sandy Carielli and Martha Bennett join us to answer these questions and dive into one area of tech that hasn't been discussed much when it comes to post-quantum encryption: blockchain.
