We'll also discuss his new role at Mandiant, and why the glue that holds together people, process, and tools is so important.

While much has been written and argued about the security of election systems - the things that do the actual ballot counting - there's other systems that have to be in place and secured before the vote can occur - voter registration databases, ballot delivery systems, etc. Might it be possible to use modern appsec concepts OWASP SAMM to secure them in a more efficient, targeted, cost-effective manner? Brian Glas joins us to talk about this and his ongoing work around providing students with a modern application security education.

To be a true executive role, the CISO/CSO needs to have the decision making authority with the same protections of other officers. Will they get it? We debate.

Less than 50% of the Fortune 500 have a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Chief Security Officer (CSO) listed on their executive team. Why is that? Is this role not considered an executive position? In part 1, we debate the role of the CISO/CSO and whether it is or is NOT and executive position. We've made a lot of progress over the last 20+ years, but has the role peaked? Will the role continue to get a seat at the table as a C-level executive or will it atrophy back to a VP or Director role?

InfoSec might have a hoarding problem, but it’s easy to understand why. It’s almost impossible to know what logs you’re doing to need, when you’re going to need them, or for what reason. SIEM vendors have taken advantage of these InfoSec data hoarding tendencies, however, and are making a killing charging a premium for storage - even when the storage in question is your own on-prem hardware. There ARE alternatives, however, but it seems most folks aren’t aware of this. In this interview with Eric Capuano, we’ll discuss both the practical and economic shortcomings of the traditional SIEM model. We’ll discuss the challenges of various SIEM use cases. Most importantly, we’ll discuss the new models actively replacing them. (No, they’re not branded as next-gen SIEMs)

A golden age is a time of great achievement in a society or industry — a time of innovation and the furthering of new ideas via new mediums or technological advancements. Email security is now entering a golden age after stagnating for the better part of a decade. Is it time to celebrate?
Customers have more choice than ever when it comes to protecting how employees, customers, and partners communicate and collaborate. Often, those customers are choosing more than one email security partner in a layered or multilayer approach to protection, as it provides greater efficacy — and peace of mind. But is that sustainable in a consolidating market?
Jess Burn, Senior Analyst from Forrester Research, joins us to discuss the results of The Forrester Wave on Enterprise Email Security for Q2 2023.

Welcome to another edition of a Paul's Security Weekly Vault episode! This episode was previously recorded on April 5, 2012 and features an interview with none other than Dan Geer. Unfortunately there is no video for this episode, but the content is still relevant today.
Dan Geer is a renowned cybersecurity expert and visionary. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, Dan has made significant contributions to our understanding of information security and its implications. In this interview, we'll explore his background, education, and delve into some of his most influential works, such as his paper on the security implications of mono-culture. My co-hosts for this interview included Jack Daniel and John Strand.
At the very end of the interview we talk about Dan giving the keynote at the Source Boston 2012 event. I've included a link to the video of that talk in the show notes for historical reference. ChatGPT summarized this keynote as follows stating: "Dan Geer discusses the claim that the internet is critical infrastructure and explores the potential hypocrisy involved in this assertion."
So, without further ado, enjoy our interview with Dan Geer!
