Den Jones Talks about Zero Trust

TechSpective Podcast ·

2022/01/27

The concept of zero trust is not new. John Kindervag popularized the term back around 2010 when he was a Forrester analyst, and organizations have been implementing and deploying variations on the idea ever since. However, the combination of the continued expansion of the attack surface and threat landscape, the shift to working remotely from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the dramatic rise in ransomware attacks has fueled renewed interest.

TechSpective Podcast Episode 082 There is a steady evolution and progress of security in response to an ongoing game of cat and mouse with cyber attackers. As attackers adapt and innovate new tools and techniques, the way we approach cybersecurity has to change as well--both strategically and tactically. Extended Detection and Response--or XDR--seems to be the next thing. My guest for this episode is my friend Anton Chuvakin. I have known Anton for many, many years--dating back before our work

You have compliance mandates like SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), certifications acronyms like CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) and CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), and fun things like ACL (Access Control List), BGP (Border Gateway Protocol, and DNS (Domain Name System).

Vulnerability management and threat research are two important elements that can help. Effective vulnerability management enables you to identify and mitigate weaknesses in your environment, and proactive threat research can provide you with valuable intelligence about what to look for.

TechSpective Podcast Episode 078 Wi-Fi security is plagued by some incorrect or outdated myths and misperceptions. Some stories refuse to die no matter how much time goes on or how verifiably false they are. For example, a significant percentage of people are positive that Stella Liebeck was just clumsy and trying to cash in--and that she got a payout of hundreds of millions of dollars from McDonald's after spilling coffee on herself. The reality is, almost none of that is true. When it comes to

Unfortunately, it seems to be having the opposite effect in a lot of cases. As much information as their is out there, there is also a ton of mis-information, both incidental and intentional, and people appear to be very bad at telling the difference.

The PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) guidelines provided by the credit card industry has had a significant impact. When a compliance mandate includes penalties that might prevent a business from being allowed to accept or process credit card payments, executive management tends to pay more attention.

We discuss the role of cybersecurity and the importance of contemplating risk. Malcolm stresses that organizations should not be caught completely off guard by things like the COVID-19 pandemic, and that if cybersecurity professionals do what they're supposed to do, something like a compromised password on a VPN

TechSpective Podcast Episode 072 How many passwords do you have? Honestly, I am not really sure at this point. I've lost track. I do recall that Bill Gates declared that the password was going to die like 20 years ago, and yet somehow I seem to have 70 or 80 of them at any given time. The mission to end passwords continues, though, and Transmit Security is trying to lead the way.

Whether you're trying to do vulnerability management, patch management, or just monitor the network for suspicious or malicious activity, it is a simple fact that doing it effectively requires a foundation of comprehensive visibility.

With decades of experience in networking and cybersecurity, Adam brings tremendous insight to the table when it comes to zero trust and ZTNA (zero trust network access). Zero trust is pretty mainstream at this point--an evolution or extension of the concept of least privileged access, but taking things to another level for improved security against today's advanced

A process where modifications or updates took months to craft and had to wait for the next scheduled release.

TechSpective Podcast Episode 063 What is a hacker? This is a question that has been debated for decades in the cybersecurity arena. Media conflated hacker and cybercriminal very early on, and it has been challenging to correct that error and separate the terms. I even wrote as far back as 2005 that the debate was lost and the word "hacker" had already been co-opted, and that we should give up and stop having that fight. Not everyone agreed--or agrees today.
