The ITSPmagazine Podcast

The industry recognizes there is a problem with staff being overworked and reaching a point of burnout. What is the definition of burnout, and how can we spot the signs? Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle to begin to make some progress in this area.In this conversation with Black Hat speaker, Dr Stacy Thayer, we explore the history, definition, and progress we are making as we attempt to deal with burnout and the overarching challenges of employee experience.About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let’s Talk About Burnout"Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce. There is an estimated 805,000 computer security professionals working in the US, but meeting the business demand for computer security professionals would require 62% industry growth. This leaves those in the field understaffed and highly stressed, ultimately leading to burnout. Stress and burnout can lead to mental fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and engagement. It can also cause diminishing focus and performance levels, and have a negative impact on operational security, satisfaction, and performance, both in the office and at home. This talk will discuss the existing research on burnout in the computer security industry and will discuss what really causes burnout, why it happens, and what you can do to mitigate it, including setting healthy boundaries, avoiding guilt, realistic ways to manage anxiety, and honest self-talk so you can identify what is needed to refill your energy and passion.I will discuss how to recognize burnout in hidden places and explore the root causes of it.I will address what to do about it – going beyond simply meditation, exercise, and healthy eating. If it was that easy, we would all be doing that. This talk is unique in that it will utilize a knowledge of practical psychology to keep it real and use behavioral change models as a guide for reducing burnout. How do you find motivation, appreciation, and time for yourself when it feels like the world around you is demanding you give more? You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how burnout happens, your personal relationship to burnout, and an idea of what to do to help reduce, relieve, and manage it.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestStacy ThayerPh.D, Clinical and Organizational/Business Psychology, Norfolk State University [@Norfolkstate]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacythayer/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/DrStacyThayer____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesSession | Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let’s Talk About Burnout: https://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/#trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone-lets-talk-about-burnout-28230____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON  Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/bhdc22spTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

While many in the InfoSec industry try to be all things to all people, sometimes that just isn't a winning strategy? What is? Let's have a chat with Adam Shostack to find out.About the session, "A Fully Trained Jedi, You Are Not"As software organizations try to bring security earlier in the development processes, what can or should regular software or operations engineers know about security? Taking as given that we want them to build secure systems, that demands a shared understanding of the security issues that might come up, and agreement on what that body of knowledge might entail. Without this knowledge, they'll keep building insecure systems. With them, we can have fewer recurring problems that are trivially attackable.Training everyone at a firm is expensive. Even if the training content is free, people's time is not. If you have 1,000 people, one hour per person is half a person year (before any overhead). So there is enormous pressure to keep it quick, ensure it meets compliance standards like PCI, and … the actual knowledge we should be conveying is almost an afterthought. We need to design knowledge scaffolding and tiered approaches to learning, and this talk offers a structure and tools to get there.We don't need every developer to be a fully trained Jedi, and we don't have time to train everyone to that level or even as much as we train security champs. So what could we ask everyone to know, and how do we determine what meets that bar?Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestAdam ShostackPresident at Shostack & AssociatesOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/shostack/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/adamshostack____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesSession | A Fully Trained Jedi, You Are Not: https://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/#a-fully-trained-jedi-you-are-not-26650____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON  Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/bhdc22spTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Threat hunting is all the rage. But what the heck is it? "Ask 10 InfoSec professionals to define threat hunting, and you'll get 11 different answers," writes John Dwyer in his Black Hat session abstract. Will we get to hear the 12th definition in this episode?About the session, "The Open Threat Hunting Framework: Enabling Organizations to Build, Operationalize, and Scale Threat Hunting""Ask 10 infosec professionals to define threat hunting and you'll get 11 different answers." Threat hunting is one of those interesting components of cybersecurity where everyone knows they should be doing it but not everyone can fully articulate what threat hunting is.In our roles as threat hunters, we're lucky enough to be witness to, and evaluate, the hunt programs of Fortune 100 companies, state and national governments, and partners and MSPs. This experience has shown us that one person's definition of threat hunting does not necessarily equal another's.If you do an Internet search for "how to build a threat hunting program" there are plenty of results and some include great insights into what makes a threat hunting program effective. However, while resources do exist, they're often tied to a specific vendor or a particular product and the best way to hunt using it. There's useful information, but you're left trying to find a way to make the proposed processes and techniques work for your environment and not the one driven by the vendor."If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." It's with that in mind that we're releasing a threat hunting framework that can help organizations start a threat hunting program as well as improve threat hunting operations for existing programs that's free and not tied to any particular technology.This framework will enable organizations to take control of building a threat hunting program by providing a clear path to operationalizing threat hunting as well as a well-defined threat hunting process to ensure threat hunters are set up for success.We've responded to far too many incidents that could have been prevented with solid threat hunting operations and we hope this project can help prevent future incidents.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestJohn DwyerHead of Research at IBM X-Force [@IBM | @XForceIR | @IBMSecurity]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-dwyer-xforce/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/TactiKoolSec____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesSession | The Open Threat Hunting Framework: Enabling Organizations to Build, Operationalize, and Scale Threat Hunting: https://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/#the-open-threat-hunting-framework-enabling-organizations-to-build-operationalize-and-scale-threat-hunting-26702____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON  Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/bhdc22spTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For generations, people have dreamed of a future where faster-than-light (FTL) travel is possible. Unfortunately, conventional physics tells us that it can't be done.For years, Dr. Harold "Sonny" White worked at NASA Eagleworks to develop the Alcubierre Warp Drive, a concept that relies on "exotic" physics to allow for FTL travel.Through the Limitless Space Institute, Dr. White and his colleagues continue to work on the warp drive and other advanced propulsion methods to achieve the dream of "Going Faster!"_______________________GuestsDr. Harold "Sonny" WhiteDirector of Advanced Research and Development, Limitless Space Institute [@explorelsi]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/harold-white-6049518/On Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/limitlessspaceinstitute_______________________HostMatthew S WilliamsOn ITSPmagazine  👉 https://itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/matthew-s-williams______________________This Episode’s Sponsors______________________ResourcesLimitless Space Institute: https://www.limitlessspace.org/Fraser Cain - Advanced Propulsion Systems with Dr. Sonny White: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDURVz31N1k______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast______________________Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
