From deploying dropper files and other malware, to stealing data, or for all the communications that modern attacks use in between, threat actors are increasingly using DNS as a transport that bypasses most defenses. Join us as we examine the good, the bad, and the grey areas of DNS as a transport in this final episode of our 3-part series with Josh Kuo and Ross Gibson, authors of a new security book, “The Hidden Potential of DNS in Security.” Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app.

Join us as we look at the powerful, proactive security value of takedown services. In addition to adding a highly proactive security layer, they may be your only option for addressing threats targeting your customers by impersonating your brand and destroying customer trust. Takedown veterans Gary Brewer and Chris Sills join us to clear the air on what these services are, what they are not, and their potential value in a comprehensive and mature risk management program.

Magicians are masters of redirection and misdirection, but these are also powerful elements in modern cyberattacks.

A few months back, ThreatTalk guest Amit Singh helped us consider some of the reasons a recent SANS 2022 SOC Survey showed so many organizations turning to ‘outsourcing’ to bolster their SOC capabilities. His Australian/New Zealand cybersecurity company, 3columns, has loaned him to us again to help us drill down into the pros and cons of outsourced Pen Testing, Red Teaming, and Purple Teaming which the SANS report showed to be the top 3 most outsourced SOC functions. Unless your security team is well-funded to do everything internally, this episode is a “must-listen”.  Tune in to the live broadcast on LinkedIn and Facebook every first and third Tuesday of the month at 11:00 am (PST). Subscribe to the ThreatTalk podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, PocketCasts or your favorite podcast app.

Service Providers are pitching a growing range of options, to businesses of all sizes, in a world where cybersecurity has become so complex and resource intensive that no one can do it all on their own.  Guest David Ayers, a veteran of the service provider space, will help us kick off a new series on service providers beginning with a review of where telecom started, where it is today, and what it might offer in a future of 5G, connected cars, and other imminent world-changing technologies. This series will be a great supplement to other episodes on consultant and channel partner service offerings, to help listeners balance the best ways to achieve their desired security posture within budget, time, people, and other realities.

From world cup soccer to horse racing, the slightest mistake can turn a winning ‘favorite’ into a loser.  The same can be true for the various sources of threat intelligence that can make, or break, the effectiveness of our security tools. Join host Bob Hansmann and his guests, threat intelligence and analytics experts Druce MacFarlane and Karthik Haridoss, for a sneak peek into their decision-making process for when to keep, add, or even drop a threat intelligence resource.

In the recent SANS 2022 SOC Survey, a lot of organizations reported that they used ‘outsourcing’ to bolster a wide variety of their SOC functions.  To understand the value of outsourcing, and tips on how to ensure a successful outsourced engagement better, ThreatTalk has invited back guest Amit Sing, the Technical Director for Australian/New Zealand cybersecurity company 3columns.  With years of experience providing a wide range of services to clients, Amit is an ideal resource to help us understand the outsourcing landscape.

While it is easy to get distracted by the ‘threat of the day’, there are those of us actively hunting instead for the infrastructures that drive and support those kinds of attacks before they are launched, so you can be prepared for the ‘threat of tomorrow’. Renée Burton, Head of Threat Intelligence for Infoblox, presented on this at the recent RSA conference and joins ThreatTalk to share what her team is learning about these infrastructures, the actors behind them, and why this matters so much.

While business line execs can get distracted by the latest media cyberthreat hype, effective security professionals stay on top of data-based security research and studies to constantly evolve their security programs. Tune into our latest podcast where we have invited Bill Brenner from the CyberRisk Alliance to discuss their 2023 Global State of Cybersecurity Study.
