The ITSPmagazine Podcast

Suppose you still believe the narrative of a hooded figure with ski gloves and a crowbar attacking a company network. In that case, this may be hard to digest: Cybercrime is a business. Cybercriminals are well organized.They share data; sell information; rent, lease, and trade tools; and market their business.It's time to source the crowd of cyber defenders to counter this advantage.Many organizations are spending millions, if not billions, of dollars standing up multi-layered endpoint, network, and perimeter protection systems, multi-layered cloud security solutions, and privilege-oriented identity management systems, as well as real-time security operations centers - and much, much more.And let's not forget that the security team needs to do all of this while allowing the users to get their job done and, in the best-case scenario, not having to worry about any of this. The Cybercriminal environment doesn't have to worry about this — actually, they will try to take advantage of it. All their investments go straight into understanding their target. What technology is used to run the business, what are their weaknesses, and how can they get in and out with as much value as possible without the possibility of being caught. Cybercriminals use threat intelligence to attack. This is what they can focus on, and they use it to their advantage, each and every day.CrowdSec is joining the good guys on this battlefield and understands that by acting together and sharing important, relevant pieces of information, we can successfully counteract organized cybercrime. CrowdSec's CTI-driven IPS objective is to automate cybersecurity threat intelligence sharing and consumption on a large scale.How does that happen?Through the crowd, of course.What makes it work beyond scale?It's all about the real-world context that the crowd experiences and shares.There are plenty of data lakes, and CTI feeds available to determine the state of an IP address; has it been seen as malicious or not?That's only part of the question.How relevant are these data sets to your business? To your environment? To your risk level? Can you ingest them, make sense of them, take action from them?Once these and many other questions are answered, captured, shared, and utilized at scale by the crowd, we can effectively become competitive against cybercrime.Learn more about what it means to join the crowd and how all the information can benefit businesses and organizations all over the globe.This is the value of authentic and accurate information sharing.Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.____________________________GuestPhilippe HumeauOn Linkedin 👉https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippehumeau/On Twitter 👉https://twitter.com/philippe_humeau____________________________Be sure to visit CrowdSec at https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vp to learn more about their offering.On Linkedin 👉https://www.linkedin.com/company/crowdsec/On Twitter 👉https://twitter.com/Crowd_SecurityWatch the video here: https://youtu.be/cOMg-Jk5rXE____________________________Are you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

SOC analysts are often overworked and under-appreciated — but that needs to change! Many look to improve their work environment through the use of technology and innovation. In the SOC, we need a lot of tuning to find that delicate balance between business goals, technology innovation, and the humanity in the machine.Scripting, coding, and other forms of automation come in handy when trying to make it through the day as a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst. However, there's much more to the role when it comes to innovation.Why and how we use technology is at the core of many of our conversations here at ITSPmagazine. When we talk about professions where technology can be at the same time a massive player in business performance and mental health improvement, we do wonder if, and how, the two can be leveraged to serve the same purpose. We hope it does.In this second of three episodes covering the first-ever SOC Analyst Appreciation Day, we get to speak with Josh Klick, a SOC practitioner who successfully worked his way up into managerial and advisory positions for some large global enterprises. Together, we explore how and when innovation can be used to help the organization become more efficient and how the analysts themselves can open their minds creatively to not only accomplish more but to also feel better, mentally, about the work they are performing.ITSPmagazine is proud to partner with Devo to recognize the efforts put in by the practitioners working away in the trenches and on the front lines of cybersecurity. Join us to help us recognize them and their efforts.About the SOC Analyst Appreciation DayJoin us for five hours of live-streamed content — with sessions ranging from what skills are needed to move up in the SOC, to desk decompression from a yoga instructor, to a panel discussion about a day in the life of a SOC, to a "Lunch & Laugh" where a stand-up comedian will provide some much-needed de-stressing entertainment. There's a ton to celebrate — let's do this!Learn more about SOC Analyst Appreciate Day: https://itspm.ag/devoq0zz______________________________GuestJosh KlickOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/klick/______________________________To see and hear more conversations about and from this event as we explore the personal, technical, operational, and innovative aspects of this role:🎙✨ https://www.itspmagazine.com/first-annual-soc-analyst-appreciation-dayLearn more about promoting your own event on ITSPmagazine:👉 https://itspm.ag/pyevmn Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We keep hearing the mantra that CISOs and CSOs need to be business leaders. So how come we keep seeing job descriptions and hearing about interviews that focus on the technical certifications like the CISSP and many others? That's exactly the question posed in a post on LinkedIn that caught our attention - and that of many others!Join us for a candid conversation with the post's author, a current CIO and CISO, Brian Bobo, as we explore the realities of what a CISO should be focused on and why relying on a technical security certification could turn the business looking in the wrong direction and leaving their risk profile in a bad way.From The LinkedIn PostI don’t post much but I need to go on a bit of a rant. I earned my CISSP years ago. As I am updating my CPEs to stay current I realize that almost nothing I do as a CISO counts for CPEs, I don’t even see a place to document incident management. And what does count can only really be categorized under the Security and Risk Management domain. Presenting, educating, serving on ISC(2) boards are all well and good but they still don’t make me a better CISO. There is nothing about strategy, leadership, presenting to a board, incident management, etc. As a CISO, strategy and leadership should be your focus. You should hire then allow and enable great people to do their jobs. So we need to STOP requiring Directors and above to have a CISSP and start thinking about these as leadership positions with a security focus.____________________________GuestBrian BoboOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbobo/____________________________ResourcesLinkedIn thread that inspired this conversation: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/brianbobo_stop-requiring-cisos-to-have-a-cissp-i-don-activity-6841017539837997056-HGwu/____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsImperva: https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988HITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Security content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-securityAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You may have not seen AI yet, but there is a good chance that AI has seen you. Artificial Intelligence can be used to create tremendous commercial value and can be used to bring significant improvements in how society functions. However, it must, and can, be done at the same time.We need to create and follow international standards that allow us to build AI around scientific and practical core ethics that can still retain those morals that make us humans, even when adapted to various countries and cultures. Maybe this is a time of self-reflection and understanding for who we really are.  Join us for this European-rooted, internationally-oriented conversation with 3 AI experts looking at how standards, ethics, morals, and laws will play a role in defining, implementing, and monitoring the data-hungry artificial intelligence systems of today and the future.______________________________GuestsJohn DurcanOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndurcan/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/EI_JDurcanFergal FinnOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/fergalfinn/Aditya MohanOn Linkedin | ie.linkedin.com/in/admohan______________________________ResourcesNSAI Top Teams in Standards in AI: https://www.nsai.ie/standards/supporting-standards/top-teams-for-standards-in-artificial-intelligence/Learn more about National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI): https://www.nsai.ie/On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-standards-authority-of-ireland/On Twitter: https://twitter.com/nsai_standardsOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NSAIstandards/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/NSAImediaLearn more about Enterprise Ireland: https://www.enterprise-ireland.com/en/On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/enterprise-irelandOn Twitter: https://twitter.com/EntirlOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EnterpriseIreland?ref=hlOn YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/enterpriseirelandtv______________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlueLava ✨ https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsDevo  ✨ https://itspm.ag/itspdvwebAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships______________________________To see and hear more Redefining Technology stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:🎙✨ https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-technology Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In a world where everything is connected and interdependent, complexity has become part of our very way of life, and it must be part of our way of thinking. But, especially when we look at infrastructure security, the boundaries between analog and digital, physical and cyber, are simply not there anymore.In today's conversation, we discuss the importance of looking at our society, economy, and security as a complex system of interdependent subsystems. Everything is connected, and we are not just referring to IoT.From bridges to nuclear plants, to the President's car, and all the way up to space, the security assessment of critical infrastructure is not a checklist but a mindset. About The BookAs a manager or engineer have you ever been assigned a task to perform a risk assessment of one of your facilities or plant systems? What if you are an insurance inspector or corporate auditor? Do you know how to prepare yourself for the inspection, decided what to look for, and how to write your report?This is a handbook for junior and senior personnel alike on what constitutes critical infrastructure and risk and offers guides to the risk assessor on preparation, performance, and documentation of a risk assessment of a complex facility. This is a definite “must read” for consultants, plant managers, corporate risk managers, junior and senior engineers, and university students before they jump into their first technical assignment.____________________________GuestErnie HaydenOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/enhayden/Publisher's Twitter | https://twitter.com/RothsteinPub____________________________ResourcesBook: https://www.rothstein.com/product/critical-infrastructure-risk-assessment-the-definitive-threat-identification-and-threat-reduction-handbook/____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebEdgescan: https://itspm.ag/itspegweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Security content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-securityAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
