Description
We're excited to give an end-of-year readout on the performance of the cybersecurity industry with Mike Privette, founder of Return on Security and author of the weekly Security, Funded newsletter. This year, this podcast has leaned heavily on the Security, Funded newsletter to prep for our news segment, as it provides a great summary of all the funding and M&A events going on each week. In this segment, we look back at 2023, statistics for the year, comparisons to 2022, interesting insights, predictions, and more! Segment Resources: Mike's blog; Return on Security: https://www.returnonsecurity.com/ Mike's newsletter; Security, Funded: https://www.returnonsecurity.com/subscribe Understanding how CyberRatings, NaaS, and SASE combine to make network security easier to buy and deploy. MEF is an industry association, providing standards, certifications, and facilitating community discussions. MEF has teamed up with CyberRatings.org to establish a certification program for SASE services, making it easier for buyers to understand what's included in SASE-related products and services. Segment Resources: https://www.mef.net/news/16-leading-technology-and-service-providers-launch-industrys-first-sase-product-and-services-certification/ This week, in the security market, we talk about next NEXT gen anti-virus, how Okta can (apparently) do no wrong, and a VC firm imploding. Then we discuss how smartphones and speakers are allegedly being used to spy on us, and the future of privacy and consumer tech products. The latest SSH vuln is much less concerning than media outlets and academic researchers would have you believe. The Citrixbleed vuln, however is about as bad as vulns can get, and has led to one of the biggest US consumer breaches in a while, with Comcast/XFinity losing all customer records. The SEC backpedals (again!) on requiring breached companies to provide details about how they got breached. And finally, we have some fun with some squirrel stories that you should absolutely check out by going to our show notes, here: https://securityweekly.com/esw344 Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-344
