Episode 103 – Good Idea, Bad Idea

Three stories get the Southern Fried treatment from Martin, Andy, and Yvette.

Moving from “checkbox compliance” to “GRC”….. Good idea.

The Washington Post wants government action on all things “cyber”…..  Maybe a Good Idea, Maybe a Bad Idea

First thing you do when you’ve been breached?  Advise your customers!  A very, very Bad Idea.

Episode 102 – Security Awareness

This week was another deep dive topic for Martin, Steve, and Joseph. We chose to tackle some of the opinions on the oft-discussed topic of security awareness. Here are a couple of articles that we used to kind of establish a baseline:

Episode 99 – Making a Point or Making a Difference…

In our last episode before the big 100, Martin, Andy, and Joseph tackled one of the bigger stories recently, the Mandiant Report on “APT1″:

http://intelreport.mandiant.com/

That segued nicely into a recent article on Threatpost about “Avoiding Attack Attribution Distraction”:

http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/avoid-attack-attribution-distraction-022113

We wrapped up the night with a discussion of some of the more common failures that risk and security officers make:

Episode 93 – It’s on Facebook

This evening, Martin, Steve, Andy, and Joseph Tackled some stuff that just makes you say “duh.”

Starting off, we talked about the exciting Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Ticker Tape Parade, which unleashed confidential data upon unsuspecting parade watchers:

http://www.wpix.com/news/wpix-confidential-confetti-at-thanksgiving-parade,0,4718007.story

We went straight from there to a sticky topic that’s been making the rounds lately about AT&T:

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/11/att-hacker-found-guilty/

To lighten the mood, we talked about some of Facebook’s recent decisions and how it’s affecting the greater Facebook population:

http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/facebook-proposes-eliminating-user-voting-system-privacy-changes-112112

http://www.wired.com/business/2012/11/facebook-copyright-hoax/

We also talked about good friend of the podcast Wendy Nather’s article on Threat Intelligence Hype:

http://www.darkreading.com/security-monitoring/blog/240142229/threat-intelligence-hype.html

And as a reference for those of you interested in the incident response report for South Carolina that we discusses a few weeks back, that’s available for public viewing now:

Episode 91 – Lots of Numbers

For the first time in who knows how long, we had the whole crew on the show this evening, and we hit some really fun stories.

First, there are a few upcoming InfoSec events that you might want to be aware of. First, BSidesDFW is this upcoming weekend, November the 3rd: http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/50488342/BSidesDFW%202012

Next weekend are three different BSides events, BSidesDelaware, Portland, and Jackson: http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/28563447/BSidesDelaware http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/40113672/BsidesPDX http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/53447313/BSidesJackson

Then we jumped into our first story for the evening, the recent breach in South Carolina:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57542255/haley-taxpayer-info-didnt-need-to-be-encrypted/

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/29/us-usa-cybersecurity-southcarolina-idUSBRE89S13T20121029

Once our heads stopped spinning from some of those quotes, we went into a pretty cool, old style hack that Barnes and Noble recently disclosed:

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/10/barnes-and-noble-pos-hack/

From those, we transitioned into a discussion on Incident Response:

http://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/22470-Have-You-Added-Personas-to-your-Incident-Response-Program.html

As well as Mike Rothman’s great article on security tradeoffs:

http://www.darkreading.com/blog/240010015/making-security-trade-offs.html

After our MAD Security Minute for the week, we wrapped up with a discussion of IAM from Darkreading:

Episode 89

This evening we had a special guest, the always lovely @securityintern, along with our regular crowd of misfits.

We wasted no time jumping straight in to our stories tonight, led off by good friend of the podcast, Wendy Nather’s story on When Monitoring becomes a liability:

http://www.darkreading.com/security-monitoring/blog/240008609/when-monitoring-becomes-a-liability.html

We followed that up with an interesting article from Microsoft, discussing malware and software piracy:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2012/10/09/sirv13-be-careful-where-you-go-looking-for-software-and-media-files.aspx

And last but not least, we dove into an article the likes of which only comes around every now and then. An article so special and full of wisdom that we had to bring it up:

http://www.csoonline.com/article/718462/top-8-things-csos-wish-they-had-a-solution-for

We close tonight with a brief interview with Martin’s co-presenter at HouSecCon, Michelle Klinger.
