Securiosity

Greg and Jen recap a busy week of news -- including a conversation around election machines and ZIP Disks, along with a passionate discussion on a former NSA employee being sentenced.  In the interview, we talk to DarkCubed founder Vince Crisler on how he's working to protect small and medium-sized businesses.

The White House unveils a cybersecurity strategy, a new anti-trust suit could determine the future of third-party testing, and Magecart continues to cause big problems.  In our interview, we speak with Forescout CEO Mike DeCesare on how enterprises are getting people on the IT and OT sides to play nice.

Is the White House's new EO too vague? Will Russian hackers stop traveling to Europe? Can you really trust the Mac App Store? Can you stick around for an interview with Quantum Exchange CEO John Prisco where we talk about traveling to the moon?  Link we talk about at the end: https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2013/08/22/breaking-bad-who-is-the-real-heisenberg  

Greg and Jen get into what, if anything, we can take away from the government charging a lone hacker with all of the North Korean regime's computing crimes. They also go in on whether Facebook or Twitter will change their thinking after their hearings on Capitol Hill. For the interview, Virgil Security's Dmitry Dain gets deep into all the crypto stuff he is working on. Yes, for this interview, crypto means cryptography.

Greg & Jen talk about Greg's conversation with ES&S's security lead, and boy, they don't dig the DEF CON voting village. In our interview, we talk with fraud fighter and NS8 founder Adam Rogas on how his company is protecting small and medium online retail businesses.

Phishing is the hot topic this week, even though the biggest story was one where phishing didn't even occur. We talk to Cofense's Aaron Higbee about phishing, which then veers into a wild conversation about hippos. We're sorry if Aaron offends our pro-hippo listeners.

DEF CON’s voting village riled up a lot of people. And from the looks of the research, the groups that should be benefitting from the village findings aren’t listening. That’s probably counterproductive. Bugcrowd’s Jason Haddix talks to us about all the actual productive stuff his company is doing to promote coordinated disclosure programs. Hmm, we know a sector of critical infrastructure that might benefit from that practice….(elections, in case we weren’t obnoxiously obvious enough).

It's 8000 degrees in Vegas. But, we love you, dear audience, so we bring you the latest in news from hacker summer camp. NSS Labs CEO Vik Phatak talks to us about his continuous security validation reports, and how companies leverage them to make better decisions for their enterprises. You know what would be a better decision? Not holding a wildly popular cybersecurity conference in 110 degree heat. What an idea!

DHS had a big week policy wise, but their operations were under water. A big time cybercrime group met its untimely demise. And there were some big dollar exits for some Cyber start ups. Terry Dunlap from ReFirm Labs talks to us about IoT security. And we thought the week before Vegas would be quiet...

We’ve got it all —  news on Russian spies, hacking cases, and vulnerability disclosure programs Our interview is with John Dickson, talking election security and give him the chance to explain why DevSecOps really isn’t just a buzzword. (Oh, stop rolling your eyes.)

Greg Otto and Jen O'Daniel recap a wild week of back and forth between the president and his intelligence community. We also talk to ThreatQuotient CEO John Czupak on how his company has grown over the past few years.
