The great vendor splendour: Choosing technology in a crowded marketplace

Choosing vendors can be like a trip to IKEA.  You go into the process with a clearly defined idea, and a few hours later exit carrying a tangled mess in a basket that you can’t pronounce and might never use. With so many vendors, how do security teams navigate this gauntlet successfully to focus their technology buying? With the cloud and APIs growing in prevalence, how does this impact the issue?  We bring together (3) experts in cutting through the noise in cybersecurity to help us answer these questions and more….

RANT Radio - The great vendor splendour

The cloud may have been sold as the sunlight uplands of enterprise technology, but in reality, the forecast is changeable.  Successfully managing this new attack surface is hard as legacy approaches struggle to match the pace of change.  

With supply chains, recent attacks have proven the risk to be huge, for example.  There are also burgeoning problems with OT, not to mention measuring and explaining this nascent new risk to the board and keeping everything aligned with business objectives.

This RANT Radio brings together veteran infosecurity professional Nathan Dornbrook from Adarma, Chief Cybersecurity Strategist Adam Palmer from Tenable and Daniela Somerscales, CISO at ClearBank, to discuss these topics in more detail.

RANT Radio - Cloudy with a chance of Pitfalls

Working in tracksuit bottoms and an increased pet proximity might be comforting for homeworkers, but not for security teams.  At home, distracted and feeling safe, employees are easily caught off guard by the mounting tide of scams, targeted attacks and mass social engineering.  

This RANT Radio seeks to understand the psychology at play, while providing practical tips on how cybersecurity teams can encourage security awareness amongst large remote workforces.  We bring together an expert in workplace psychology with the usual cacophony of top quality cybersecurity people, to help unpick what can be done to address this thorny issue: 

- Rebecca McKeown - Director at Mind Science
- Christian Toon - CISO at Pinsent Masons
- Thom Langford - Security Advocate at SentinelOne

* 7 randomly selected delegates out of the first 100 sign-ups for this RANT Radio get a go on our lucky dip, made from Tim Cook’s bandanna, to win: 1 x Apple HomePod, 3 x Apple HomePod Mini or 3 x T-shirts.

We look forward to this exciting discussion!

RANT Radio: Home Alone 2021: Attack of the malaise

Keen to file 2020 in an underground bunker, the next RANT Radio seeks to tackle a big question: What does the emerging world of work look like to an attacker, and how do we secure it?

For a big topic, we have big speakers, all of whom have been told to look at the next 1/3/5 years’ to try and understand the enterprise information security challenges that will arise from the ashes of 2020:

- Ken Munro: Celebrated breaker of things, Ken is a walking exploit. Continually trying to get ahead of the game, his research regularly keeps BBC news teams fed with stories.
- Solomon Gilbert: Vocal security advocate, 10-year-old Solomon’s first reaction when given a laptop at school was to shut everyone else’s down.  Oddly, he is now a pentester.     
- Josh Neame: Josh helps Bluefort Security create and deliver specialised technology solutions for some of the largest companies in the UK.

WTF: What's The Future?

If you are sat eyeballing the latest machine learning tool wondering if it can automate you into a job in retail, you are not alone.  

Increased attacks and black swan induced digital transformation mean life in the SOC is now all about one thing: fast judgements on lots of attacks. This often leads to the obvious conclusion: more automation.  Does this mean front-line teams are no longer relevant?  What do humans bring that automation never can?

// Speaker Panel:
- Charlie Timblin - Vice President Cyber Strategy & Transformation at Refinitiv
- Rebecca McKeown - Chartered Psychologist and Director of Mind Science Ltd
- David Calder - Chief Product Officer at Adarma Ltd
- James Hanlon - Director, Security Specialization & Advisory, EMEA at Splunk Inc

RANT Radio- Rise of the robots: are SOC teams going to be beaten up by robots?

As security continues its rise towards being a more strategic business function, we need to remember front-line teams. Working hard identifying, analysing and mitigating threats is challenging but vital work.  Being on the sharp end of an endless barrage not only decreases effectiveness but impacts mental health and team culture.  

Yet despite all their efforts, mean time to identify a security breach is still 197 days, and containment another 69. The reality is that with the current reactive approaches to cyber defence, there simply aren’t enough skilled professionals to analyse the volume of incidents that most organisations face. With limited resources, an ever-growing skills gap and an escalating volume of security alerts, organisations are left vulnerable to what is perceived to be unavoidable risk. This environment is demanding more of already resource-constrained CISOs.

So how can they further minimise risk from cyber threats without further increasing the workload?

Cyberthon Part 1: Are the altruistic roots of cybersecurity still relevant?

Ask anyone in cybersecurity about deception technology and one of the first words may use is ‘clever’.  Throwing up near-infinite digital lures to appeal to an attacker is not simple. This RANT Radio show seeks to understand how the technology is rooted in military history, asking ex-servicepeople for their opinions on the technique.  It will also dig into how forward-thinking organisations are using deception tech for a range of innovative approaches, including trapping malicious insiders and preventing SOC Teams from burning out.

Panel Discussion - Deception technology: more than just hoodwinking hackers

Become Illusive - Make Your Environment Hostile to Attackers

IAM (Identity Access Management) has been on most organisations priority lists, however with Active Directory playing a core part in IAM solutions, it can be argued that none are actually securing Active Directory.

RANT Radio - Panel Discussion: Dev teams + security teams + cloud = fight?

As the world of remote work has become the norm, at least temporarily, the role of information security will either be the remote saviour or lockdown police. 

 
With video conference risks, phishing upticks, and general “digital” risks, employees need to be safeguarded. But at what cost?

 

Join this discussion with a drink in hand. But, please, let’s try to keep the “security as an enabler” references to a minimum. Join us for our very own RANT Radio Shows!

RANT Radio - Adversarial Debate: The Role of InfoSec in the Remote World

Joining RANT again after far too long writing a book, we’ve got a great guest star speaker returning to the airwaves.

Our co-host for this 80s style radio show will be your well-known Geoff White who is an investigative journalist covering technology for BBC News, Channel 4 News, Audible, Forbes online and many others.

Key topics include:
- Tracking down the author of the LoveBug virus to a Filipino mark 20 yrs after he disappeared

- The raid on Bangladesh Bank that allegedly netted North Korea $81m

- Disinformation, hacking and journalism – the intersection between media and hackers and how that’s played out (there’s an interesting tale around coronavirus and Ukraine here)

- Evolution of the dark web towards encrypted apps

- Energy sector hacking (also a good story about Ukraine, but starting to happen in UK too)

- How cybercrime has responded to coronavirus

Crack open a beer for a tongue in cheek experience with live commentary from your peers and a very insightful discussion!
