69 - White House: Cyber activity not against Russia policy

On this episode I'll share my thoughts on the recent White House announcement below.

This episode is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EHtnyGM0TCE

WASHINGTON, June 1 (Reuters) - The White House said on Wednesday that any offensive cyber activity against Russia would not be a violation of U.S. policy of avoiding direct military conflict with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre commented on statements from U.S. cyber command chief General Paul Nakasone, who told Sky News on Wednesday the United States has conducted a series of digital operations in support of Ukraine.

67 - CISA vs. Snake Oil

67 - CISA vs. Snake Oil

Or at least that's my analysis of CISA Alert AA22-137A

It doesn't matter what fancy tools you have if you're using and configuring them incorrectly. 

This episode is also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MJLpCTG_kqI

In this episode I'm going to review CISA Alert (AA22-137A)
https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-137a

Weak Security Controls and Practices Routinely Exploited for Initial Access

Cyber actors routinely exploit poor security configurations (either misconfigured or left unsecured), weak controls, and other poor cyber hygiene practices to gain initial access or as part of other tactics to compromise a victim’s system. This joint Cybersecurity Advisory identifies commonly exploited controls and practices and includes best practices to mitigate the issues. This advisory was coauthored by the cybersecurity authorities of the United States,[1],[2],[3] Canada,[4] New Zealand,[5],[6] the Netherlands,[7] and the United Kingdom.[8]

Jason B.A. Van Camp epitomizes leadership and a positive drive to excel. He has an exceptional never-quit attitude and a will to win, coupled with unique ability and desire to unlock the potential of others. He is a Forbes Business Council Member, a Wall Street Journal, Amazon, and USA Today best-selling author, a decorated Green Beret, a world traveler, and an entrepreneur. First and foremost, though, he is a dedicated husband, loving father, and loyal friend. Jason has mastered the art of storytelling that reflects many of his own life adventures.

Jason was born in Washington D.C. and raised across the Potomac River in Springfield, Virginia. In 1995, Jason was accepted to the United States Military Academy at West Point.

After graduating from West Point, Jason volunteered to attend U.S. Army Ranger School in Fort Benning, GA where he earned his Ranger tab in 2002. Jason then began a one year tour to Korea serving a few miles from the Demilitarized zone (DMZ) between South and North Korea. Immediately after serving in Korea, Jason was deployed with the 101st Airborne Division in the invasion of Iraq (2003). In 2006, Jason won the coveted Green Beret and began serving as a Detachment Commander with 10th Special Forces Group in Fort Carson, Colorado.

During his 14 years in the U.S. Army, Jason has won numerous awards, notably the Bronze Star with V device for Valor as well as two additional Bronze Stars during numerous combat rotations as a Special Forces Detachment Commander in the Middle East and Africa.

Jason then founded Mission Six Zero, a leadership consulting firm comprised of Medal of Honor recipients, U.S. Army Rangers, Navy SEALs and other Special Operations Forces team members, he founded in 2009. The company offers assessments, masterclasses, workshops, and live keynotes in a variety of industries: pharmaceutical, medical device, financial services, real estate, technology, governmental organizations (including law enforcement), as well as others.

Over the past 10 years, Jason is a seasoned speaker, having given hundreds of talks to corporate conferences, trade organizations, governmental agencies, military units and youth groups. He is a proponent of Mission Six Zero’s Total Warrior (TM) model.

Jason is also honored to be the Founder and Executive Director of Warrior Rising, which he started in 2015 to empower U.S. veterans and their immediate families by providing them opportunities to create sustainable businesses, perpetuate the hiring of fellow U.S. military veterans, and earn their future. Warrior Rising is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans achieve success in business through instruction, mentoring, funding access, and maintaining the veteran community. To date, Warrior Rising has had more than 3,000 veterans apply to its program.

60 - Insider threat hunting & Lapsus$ Groups tactics, techniques and procedures.

On todays episode I'm joined by Greg Linares and John Wetzel to discuss insider threats, what you should look for and how to help mitigate them. 

We also discuss some of the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) employed by the Lapsus$ Group over the last few months to help you build your insider threat hunting program. 

The general consensus seems to be no data loss prevention (DLP) system gets you where you need to be in securing your data.

Greg Linares' professional career in cybersecurity began in 2006, when he joined eEye Digital Security as a Security Researcher. During his tenure, he was accredited with the discovery of several vulnerabilities in major vendors such as Microsoft, CA, Yahoo, Bitdefender and AFLAC, as well as doing development on the Retina Network Security Scanner. Over the next several years he performed many lead roles in reverse engineering, penetration testing, malware analysis, threat intelligence, and security software development. Currently he is a heading up a security team at a Venture Capital firm in CA and has a passion for helping and supporting others at all stages in their cybersecurity career.

48 - Actionable Disclosure Programs with Jon Murchison, Xavier Salinas, Matt Lee, Brian Weiss

On today's episode we're discussing the current issues and the best way forward to create actionable and accountable vulnerability disclosure.

Jonathan Murchison, the founder and CEO of Blackpoint, started his career in Network Engineering and IT operations, but quickly made the switch to the quiet world of the intelligence community. He has since spent over twelve years planning, conducting, and executing high-priority national security missions. As a former NSA computer operations expert and IT professional, he is bringing a unique perspective to the mission of developing cyber defense software effective at detecting and detaining purposeful cyber intrusions and insider threats. Murchison holds multiple patents in methods of network analysis, defense, pattern analytics, and mobile platforms.

Matt Lee has dedicated the last 10 years to raising the security tide in the SMB market. His efforts have served in every capacity in a growing MSP that grew to support 20,000 endpoints. His leadership around technology direction and security/compliance protected and elevated over 17,000 people in Small to midsize businesses in five states. He has since taken on a new role as a force multiplier under Brad Fugitt as the Senior director of Security and Compliance at Pax8. He is driving the external thought leadership to empower MSPs to continue to grow in their security knowledge and operability. He lives to ensure his children maintain the same quality of life we do around technology, which is imperiled daily by threat actors.
