From "In The News"

When Ransomware Strikes Our Towns | In The News With Michael Echols And Edward Block

Guests:
- Michael Echols

- Edward Block, Practicing Attorney, Foley Gardere, and former Chief Information Security Officer, State of Texas

Many small town and cities across the grand state of Texas have had better days. Much better days, in fact. There have been many articles highlighting the recent ransomware attacks to successfully compromise more than nearly two dozen Texan towns.

We had many questions to ask our two guests — both of whom have a direct and deep understanding of these types of attacks, the readiness of this specific region, and the potential threats looking in other similar regions across the United States. Have a listen to hear their thoughts on this situation.

Is The Road To Hell Paved With Good Intentions? | In The News With Erez Yalon

By Marco Ciappelli & Sean Martin

Guest: Erez Yalon, Director of Security Research at Checkmarx

In this ‘In The News’ segment we are discussing the “LeapFrog accident” that has been going around the news since Black Hat when our friend, Erez Yalon, disclosed some research that uncovered some severe vulnerabilities on IoT tablets made specifically for children.

Chill out. There’s no need to panic. The good news part of this story is that the company stepped in quickly and acted responsibly. So why are we talking about it if the problem is solved?

Here is why:
🔹 We do not thrive on clickbait and FUD
🔹 We want to help the cybersecurity community to build a better, safer technological future
🔹 We believe that knowledge is power and education is society’s superpower against cyber threats
🔹 We do not think that stopping people from using technology is the way to safety; not even for—maybe even less for—kids (we want them to play and learn!)
🔹 We believe we can make ethical decisions now that will help the future generations take full advantage of a technologically advanced society.

Join us in building that future. Start by listening to this podcast.

An InfoSec Life | A Conversation With Vandana Verma

By Marco Ciappelli

All right, ladies and gentlemen, it finally happened: Vandana Verma is my distinguished guest on this An InfoSec Life Podcast.

For those of you that haven't had the pleasure to meet her in person—Sean and I had this honor in Las Vegas this year—let me tell you, she is as nice as she sounds. In my opinion, there is nothing more valuable to add to someone's professionalism and skills than a big heart. It helps to make them a role model and an inspiration for any just entering—or that are about to enter—their career in the InfoSec community.

Fortunately, we found some time together in person in Las Vegas during Hacker Summer Camp. As a bonus, I also got the chance to meet Ryan Kovar who happened to be presenting on ATT&CK with Katie that smae week. Ryan joined us for the conversation as well.

Have a listen as we explore what MITRE ATT&CK is, what it’s for, who it’s for, how to get started with it, how to be successful with it, and what scenarios could be leveraged to learn from others’ successes and challenges.
