Here are some of the areas of security that I'm thinking about the most right now:Securing the digital supply chainThe evolution of cloud-native securityInternet of Things (IoT) securityThe human element of securitySecuring web3 and blockchainI'll take them one by one this week and share some quick thoughts on why I think they're interes...

If you’re someone who works with me, you may have noticed that I ask to record our Zoom calls more often than I used to. There’s a reason for this. While I can’t justify the cost of a revenue intelligence platform like Gong for my small shop, I made up my own poor man’s version. Here’s how it works.Download and install Descript. (There’s a free version.)Hit the record button on a Zoom call and pick the “Record on this computer” option.After the Zoom call ends, drag the video file that Zoom sp...

OK, now that the marketing guy explained what Zero Trust is, let’s get into some ways to give security buyers a plan for it (that hopefully includes some of you). There’s a real danger that this could get boring in a hurry, so here’s what I’m thinking. Over the next few days, I’ll give you my quick take on what I like and don’t like about the three possible starting points I mentioned. I’m not going to regurgitate every detail, but I’ll try to give you the gist. Then, I’m going to make up a f...

Before I move on, here are a few more tidbits about the Okta breach that I found interesting:
1. The ring-leader of Lapsus$ is reportedly a teenager from the UK. 😲
2. Their techniques are very low-tech and focused on social engineering and bribery of insiders and supply chain partners, according to Microsoft (who, as you have heard, was also breached by Lapsus$).
3. In an open letter to Okta, Tenable CEO Amit Yoran provides an even better example of the power of competence + transparency than the one I offered yesterday:
Trust is built on transparency and corporate responsibility, and demands both. I’ve been in the space long enough to know that security is imperfect. Even Mandiant was breached. But they had the fortitude and competence to provide as much detail as they could. And they remain one of the most trusted brands in security as a result.
