Security and Compliance Weekly (audio)

Author of "Why CISOs Fail" is joining us today to tell us about the success of his first book as well as introduce us to his forthcoming book, "Security Hippie. Barak is best known for pioneering the concept of the virtual (or fractional) CISO model nearly two decades ago. Over the twenty years since then he has applied that model and strategy to building, managing and counseling security departments across countless and diverse organizations, including MuleSoft, Amplitude Analytics, Livenation/Ticketmaster, StubHub, Barnes and Noble, bebe Stores and many others. The goal of his new book is to convey security concepts in the form of telling stories, so we hope to hear a few examples from him during the course of the interview.

We're going to devote an episode talking about how things used to be back in the day from a hacker/penetration perspective and discuss how things are today. Are things better? Worse? Depends on your attack vector, perhaps? Join us on Discord and participate in the discussion of what's right and what's wrong in our industry today and what can we do about it. All from a hacker's perspective. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/scw97 Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/scw for all the latest episodes!

In the early days of PCI there was an online column called StorefrontBacktalk which focused on retail and technology issues. The column provided valuable insights from various specialists on the interpretation and application of many of the more challenging security requirements found in PCI DSS which was reflected in its tag line, "Techniques, Tools and Tirade about Retail Technology and E-Commerce. The founder of the column, Evan Schuman, is a veteran journalist who has covered a wide range of technology, privacy and legal issues over the past three decades.

CISA recently published guidance for how managed service providers (MSPs) should approach security for their operations based on the premise that cyber threat actors are known to target MSPs to reach their customers. MSPs provide remote management of customer IT and end-user systems and generally have direct access to their customers' networks and data. By exploiting trust relationships in MSP networks, cyber threat actors can gain access to a large number of the victim MSP customers. The CISA Insights publication provides mitigation and hardening guidance for MSPs and their small- and mid-size business customers. By applying this guidance, organizations can protect MSP customer network assets and reduce the risk of successful cyberattacks. Our conversation today will focus on the problems that MSPs and SMBs face in achieving the right level of security for their organizations, satisfy compliance and regulatory requirements, while trying to stay in business.
