One of the best things about working in cybersecurity is that it's always changing. There are always new things to learn and think about. 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...

While it's still early days, the Internet of Things (IoT) has moved from buzzy topic to real thing now. Many of the usual security risks, including the four digital supply chain security challenges I mentioned last week, are amplified by IoT.
Why? Two big reasons:
Low-cost devices are required to make IoT work. When product companies need to drive costs down, it's a recipe for (a) missed hardware and software vulnerabilities and (b) low incentive to invest in post-deployment support and updates.
Many IoT devices are aimed at consumers. As with things like social media, we're being drawn into many opportunities for fun and convenience that will likely bring along personal privacy hangovers later.
