This is a topic our hosts are very passionate about, and we're excited to discuss with Mariana Padilla, co-founder and CEO of Hackerverse.

We'll discuss why existing sales processes are broken, how VC funding impacts vendor sales/marketing, and why community-led growth is so important. Show...

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act was a watershed moment in corporate governance, fundamentally altering how companies approached financial reporting and internal operational controls. By holding executives personally accountable for the accuracy of financial reports, SOX restored investor confidence in the wake of corporate malfeasance. The SEC's new cybersecurity rule represents a similar pursuit to restore investor confidence — this time for the digital age, centered on integrating...

Naturally, the next approach to try is a federated one. How do we break down cybersecurity into more bite-sized components? How do we alleviate all this CISO stress we've heard about, and make their job seem less impossible than it does today? This will be a more standards and GRC focused discussion, covering: the reasons why cross-walking doesn't work the reasons why traditional TPRM approaches (e.g. questionnaires) don't work opportunities for AI to help risk management or sales support?...

There have been a lot of bold claims about how generative AI and machine learning will transform the SOC. Ironically, the SOC was (arguably) invented only because security products failed to make good on bold claims. The cybersecurity market is full of products that exist only to solve the problems created by other security products (Security Analytics, SOC Automation, Risk-Based Vulnerability Management). Other products are natural evolutions and pick up where others leave off. In this...

We kicked things off by talking about the Holiday Hack Challenge, which is like this massive cyber playground that Sans puts out every year for everyone from fifth graders to government spooks. Ed Skoudis broke down how they're changing things this time, with an early release and a phased approach that'll give you more time to play and learn. But the real mind-bender was when Ed spilled the beans on how they build this whole thing using one giant Google sheet - I mean, we're talking hundreds...

Alright, so we dove deep into some pretty wild stuff this week. We started off talking about zip files inside zip files. This is a variation of old-school zip file tricks, and the latest method described here is still causing headaches for antivirus software. Then we geeked out about infrared signals and the Flipper Zero, which brought back memories of the TV-B-Gone. But the real kicker was our discussion on end-of-life software and the whole CVE numbering authority mess. Avanti's refusal to...
