In this conversation, I speak with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker.

We talk about:

ThreatLocker’s Unique Zero Trust Approach to Cybersecurity:
How ThreatLocker’s "deny by default, permit by exception" methodology, along with automated application learning and built-in definitions for over 4,000 applications, simplifies allowlisting and enhances endpoint security.

Innovations in ThreatLocker’s Control Features:
How ThreatLocker’s ringfencing prevents unauthorized application interactions and data access, and dynamic firewalls mitigate risks like lateral movement and ransomware attacks through endpoint-level network segmentation.

Recent Developments and Cloud Expansion:
How ThreatLocker Detect and Cloud Detect provide advanced detection capabilities for endpoint and cloud environments, including Office 365, enabling anomaly detection, centralized alerts, and proactive threat management.

And more.

In this conversation, I speak with Jason Haddix, founder of Arcanum Security and CISO at Flare.

We talk about:

Flare's Unique Approach to Threat Intelligence:
How Flare's capability to uncover compromised credentials and cookies from the dark web and private forums has been crucial in red team engagements.

Challenges of Credential Theft and Advanced Malware Techniques:
How adversaries utilize tools like the RedLine Stealer malware to gather credentials, cookies, and other sensitive information, and this stolen data enables attackers to bypass authentication protocols, emphasizing the need for comprehensive exposure management.

Jason's Journey To Founding Arcanum & Arcanum's Security Training Programs:
How Jason now advises on product development and threat intelligence as Flare's CISO and his journey to fund Arcanum, a company focused on red teaming and cybersecurity, and Arcanum's specialized training programs focusing on offensive security and using AI in security roles.
