  • Airgaps over AI? Cyberdefense pro's tips and predictions
    Nov 7 2024

    Robert Slaughter is CEO of Defense Unicorns, a defense tech startup specializing in Airgap software delivery in highly secure and sensitive environments in the military and federal government. Previously, he was director of the U.S. Department of Defense's Platform One DevSecOps project and co-founder at Space CAMP, a predecessor of Platform One for the US Space Force. Prior to starting Defense Unicorns, he served 12 years in the US Air Force.

    If companies think threats to the security of critical national infrastructure don't involve them, Slaughter says, they should think again. And he suggests they might adopt some of the techniques familiar to military and government cyberdefense pros, from proactive threat hunting to air gaps.

  • SecOps "where bits and bytes meet flesh and blood"
    Oct 31 2024

    Joshua Corman is executive in residence for public safety & resilience at The Institute for Security and Technology (IST), a non-profit think tank based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is also co-leader of a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) community working group for SBOM on-ramps & adoption. Previously, he was vice president of cybersecurity strategy for Claroty, an IoT security company; chief strategist on the CISA COVID task force; director of the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative; and CTO at security software vendor Sonatype.

    In August, Corman delivered a presentation at CISA's SBOM-a-Rama event warning that time is running out to more effectively protect critical infrastructure systems such as the water and power supply that rely on potentially vulnerable software to operate. Corman emphasized the urgent need to more effectively identify vulnerabilities and defend against attacks such as China's Volt Typhoon nation-state threat group. An initiative Corman is leading at IST under the working title UnDisruptable27 now looks to address these threats.

    "We live in glass houses," he said in this episode's interview. "And people are about to start throwing rocks."

  • Lessons from a "graybeard" in assessing cloud risk
    Oct 24 2024

    Chris Steffen is vice president of research for information security at analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates. He previously held a variety of IT leadership roles at companies including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and DXC Technology. He is a regular speaker at industry conferences, the host of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness podcast and a frequent guest on other IT security podcasts.

    The day of the CrowdStrike outage, Steffen posted on LinkedIn, "Not trying to kick anyone while they are down, but those that equate resiliency with public cloud computing really need to re-evaluate those beliefs, especially for mission critical workloads. The outages being reported today were some of the exact same issues that we have seen before, but - as an industry - don't seem to learn from."

    In this episode, Steffen discusses the lessons on data center resilience he says have been lost in the cloud era and why IT orgs must re-evaluate their cloud risk.
