Business Security Weekly (Audio)

In today's enterprises, the Identity Access Management (IAM) System is the key to a business' critical operations. But that IAM environment is more vulnerable than most security executives realize.

The common misperception that identity infrastructure and IAMs like Active Directory, Okta, or Ping can adequately secure the entire identity infrastructure is to blame for the continued barrage of cyber and ransomware attacks. Yes, each of these vendors has security controls baked into their solution, however they cannot extend those controls outside their environments to provide visibility, context, and protection beyond their walls. Hackers use the gaps between these tools to move throughout a company and evade detection. We don't expect Dell or Lenovo to protect our entire suite of endpoints. Nor do expect a single cloud provider to protect all your clouds; we rely on Wiz for that. Identity infrastructure remains the most unprotected part of the technology stack and needs dedicated protection, as organizations already apply for cloud, endpoints, or networks. Watch this conversation with Hed Kovetz as he takes us through why identity security remains the most unprotected part of the security stack, and what needs to change to advance the state of cybersecurity.

With the current macro economic head winds, 2023 budgets are either frozen or are flat. Where should CISOs focus these limited budgets to maximize the most out of their security program? In this segment, we invite Jon Fredrickson, Chief Risk Officer at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island, to debate what should be in your minimum viable security program.

This segment is part 2 and focuses on the minimum viable security vendors for our top 6 capabilities:

1. Asset Management
2. Patch Management
3. IAM/MFA/PIM/PAM
4. EDR/MDR/XDR
5. Backup/Recovery
6. Risk Management

The Business Information Security Officer, or BISO, is relatively new and somewhat controversial role. Does this role act as the CISO's non-technical liaison to the business units or as the CISO's deputy to oversee strategy implementation at a granular level? Is this new role a necessary career path for future CISOs or an entry point into security? The BSW hosts debate!

Throughout her career, Sandy Dunn has continued to mature and refine her skills. In the early days, she describes her job as a "hostage negotiator", constantly negotiating between the business teams and the security team. But as you mature, so does your approach to security. Now, Sandy talks about simplifying "knowledge management" to make it easy to understand security and becoming a "business listener" to make the right decisions.

The recent rise in adversarial AI has made it clear: organizations must fight AI with better AI. Gone are the days of relying on legacy, antiquated endpoint detection and response offerings, or cybersecurity tools that are based on ineffective machine learning models. In this interview, Deep Instinct CIO Carl Froggett will explain why Deep Learning is the most superior form of AI, and the technology’s role in powering predictive prevention.

Attackers are targeting enterprise users when they are online via attacks like spear phishing, malicious docs infected with malware/ransomware.

Today SASE/SSE’s Secure Web Gateway (SWG) component is touted as the solution to this problem. These SWGs look at traffic between the enterprise users and websites and try to infer attacks.

Unfortunately, attackers are subverting these SWGs and breaking into enterprises. There is an urgent need to stop this and the solution seems to be to have a browser native security agent which can detect-mitigate attacks happening on the users browser and allow enterprises to threat hunt web attacks company wide.
