Ed TALKS: Securing Microservices in Today’s Fast, Feature-Driven SDLC

To meet the demand for feature-rich software, companies rely on emerging technologies and rapid release cycles.  However, they often lack confidence in their teams to build and deploy it securely.  Leaders need a playbook that goes beyond just training developers on secure coding and reflects how teams want to learn.   

Join this Ed TALKS to hear how three professionals have up-leveled skills at Intuit, Microsoft, and Atlassian and gain insight from benchmark data from Security Innovation’s own expansive user base.

Ed TALKS: Security Upskilling Software Teams

The enterprise of things (EoT) encompasses all the "things" that get pulled into an enterprise's infrastructure. Not just IoT but also operational technology, office endpoints, WFH devices, and more. The 2020 rush to work-from-home, the proliferation of 5G, and an increased dependency on personal devices are burdening  IT with a more diverse attack surface and devices that don't conform to corporate standards. 

Leaders need to adjust their cyber-risk-mitigation playbooks. Come listen to three industry experts discuss this hostile ecosystem and the defenses they've put in place to adapt.

Topics include: 
- Securing the software that runs the Enterprise of Things
- Managing risk in corporate networks where IP is no longer isolated
- Evolving techniques in attack surface management and threat modeling
- Practical tips for minimizing IoT data leaks and adopting zero trust
- Managing device decay and non-standard configurations

Are IoT & BYOD dead? Why today we live with the Enterprise of Things

Historical approaches to IT security have been driven by primary colors – red teams attack, blue teams defend.  This leaves technical teams color blind as to how hackers exploit the very software they are tasked with building and protecting.    

Purple Teaming is a collaborative approach organizations use to improve their security posture during the attack exercise to capture immediate value and foster a real-world defensive approach.  This strengthens a team’s understanding of abuse cases so they can employ effective controls from requirements through deployment.

Attend this talk to learn how to embed an exploit mentality into technical teams, which results in a reduced attack surface, fewer security vulnerabilities, and accelerated feature release.

Steal the Attackers Playbook with Purple Teams

Attitudes toward privacy have an amazingly broad spectrum.  Laws like CCPA and GDPR are forcing organizations to build privacy programs, but their robustness varies significantly based on geography, industry, and consumer views. Counter forces of IT Security, Data Breaches, and IoT put privacy at risk every day.  Come listen to 3 industry experts discuss privacy in the context of today’s digital world. They will discuss the organizational impacts of privacy, compliance drivers, and the difference between data security and data privacy.  

Topics include: 
 • Impacts of emerging technologies (5G, Artificial Intelligence, etc.) on privacy programs
 • How the WFH movement has changed corporate privacy and security strategies
 • Findings from the recent study "Privacy and Security in a Digital World” by The Ponemon Institute
 • The battle between security and privacy (corporate, law enforcement, compliance, personal) 
 • Practical tips on how to protect both privacy and data security

Ed TALKS: Privacy in a Gossipy, Digital World

High-performing InfoSec programs are critical to protecting sensitive data, securing systems, and maintaining compliance. However, organizations continuously struggle with the “how are we doing?” question.

Attend our next Ed Talk to learn how to identify key metrics and implement measurement vehicles to understand your real security posture.

* Benchmarking: What do you measure? And against what?

* Analysis Paralysis: What to do with the results and avoiding misleading and distracting data

* Metric Traps: Red flags versus red herrings

Are we there, yet? Measuring effectiveness of InfoSec programs

Edna Conway (Microsoft) & Octavia Howell (Equifax) join us for an exclusive panel on avoiding supply chain burns. Supply chain risk is not going away, especially not software updates that fuels the IT-dependent enterprise. The SolarWinds hack has sowed doubts about the fidelity and security of 3rd-party tech.  Despite significant damage, some organizations successfully thwarted the attacks despite using the vulnerable SolarWinds Orion appliance – how did they do it and what can we learn from it.

This Ed TALK brings respected cybersecurity and supply chain experts together to discuss what companies that build and use technology can do to protect themselves in this increasingly partner dependent world.

Topics include:
Knowing your ingredients – SBOMs (software bill of materials)
I spy  – can we detect or prevent “tainted” software updates
Walking the walk –  let’s talk effective defense-in-depth, incidence response, network segmentation, and “zero-trust”
Avoiding the recency trap – risk rating threats to avoid knee-jerk reactions  
Robots to the rescue – can AI be the solution to real-time threat intelligence?

Ed TALKS: SolariGate – Avoiding Supply Chain Burns

Software teams regularly deal with rapid release cycles, dozens of technologies, and relentless threats. They generally want to incorporate security ways but are often unsure how (or why.) 

Regardless of the development process, there are common security activities and tools that need to be assimilated.  In this edition of Ed TALKS, a panel of three industry experts provide practical tips on improving maturity and making security a natural part of software development.   

Topics include:
- Practical automation throughout development and delivery
- How to motivate your team to care about security
- Assessing and benchmarking your SDLC maturity
- Not so fast: Activities to automate or skip at your own risk 

Our panelists include:
Sasha Rosenbaum: Product Manager, GitHub

Ed TALKS: Fast-Tracking Software Assurance, Making Security Part of Software Dev

The payment ecosystem is a complex one that is exposed from multiple points: Data interception, identify theft, and other attacks primarily target insecure software, APIs, and communication protocols that are difficult to lock down. 

To secure data within the payment infrastructure retailers, software providers, financial institutions, and device manufacturers need to implement risk-based practices.  Come hear three industry experts - Kara Gunderson (CITGO) and Ira Winkler (author, "You Can Stop Stupid"), Phil Agcaoili (Ponemon Institute Fellows) - discuss how to do this in a practical manner.

Topics include:

• Biggest threats and common attack vectors
• Dealing with POS (point of sale) systems
• End to End encryption – is it even possible?
• Managing software updates
• Passing with A’s: Authentication, Authorization & Access

Ed TALKS: Paying it Forward – Securing Technology in the Payment Ecosystem

The use of cloud services and infrastructure continues to skyrocket. Meanwhile, the proliferation of turn-key SaaS solutions makes it compelling for enterprises to use cloud-based software.  Organizations are spinning up servers and databases in minutes, moving their applications to take advantage of CSP scalability, and mistakenly assuming they are immediately more secure. 

There’s no doubt the cloud can deliver on the promises of improved scalability, availability, and security; however, consumers need to do their part. Come listen to 3 experts debate data and software security in the cloud. Topics include:

• Key considerations - new skills, migration challenges, compliance implications
• Unwanted surprises - misconfigurations, application rewrites, open data buckets
• Attack vectors  - how they impact data flow and storage models
• Sunnier days -  must-do’s for securing cloud software

Ed TALKS: Cloudy at the Breach – Your Software, Your Data, Your Loss

With the proliferation of COTS, Open Source Software, libraries, frameworks, APIs, and other components, modern software is increasingly assembled instead of coded from scratch. While this shift helps deliver feature-rich solutions and interoperability, it also introduces risk and data security challenges.

To manage 3rd-party risks, new assessment and mitigation techniques are needed. Fixing the code is often impossible, pen testing can be limiting, and patching still leaves you exposed.
