2016-051: Steps to fixing risks you found, and the State of the Podcast

It's the final episode of the the year, and we didn't slouch on the #infosec. Mr. Boettcher discussed what should happen when we find risk and how we handle it in a responsible manner.

I also issue an 'open-letter' to C-Level. We need C-Levels to listen and accept the knowledge and experience of your people. Infosec people are often the only thing keeping a company from making the front page, and yet are still seen as speed bumps.

We also discuss some the previous episodes of the year, some recent developments to build our #community, like our book club and upcoming #CTF club.

Plus, there is one other surprise, but you'll have to wait until our next episode to find out!

 

Enjoy our final episode of 2016. Our regular show will return the week of 9 January 2017!

2016-050: Holiday Spectacular with a little help from our friends!

Brakesec Podcast joined:

Edgar #Rojas (@silverFox) and Tracy #Maleef (@infosecSherpa) from the #PVC #Security #podcast (@pvcsec)

Jerry #Bell (@maliciousLink) and Andrew #Kalat (@lerg) from the #Defensive Security podcast (@defensiveSec)

And Amanda #Berlin (@infosystir) for a light-hearted holiday party. We discuss things we learned this year, and most of us refrained from making the famous "#prediction" lists. You also get to hear my lovely wife come in and bring me #holiday #sweeties and even dinner, as she had no idea we were recording at the time (she later told me "You sounded like you were having too much fun, so I assumed you weren't recording")

**there might be some explicit language**

Join us won't you, and listen to 3 fantastic podcasts mix it up for the holidays.

2016-049-Amanda Berlin, the art of the sale, and Decision making trees

 "Always Be Closing" is the mantra that Alec Baldwin's character "Blake" intones in the movie "#GlenGarry #Glen #Ross". Ironically, the film about 4 men selling was a failure in the theaters.

A lot of times as #blue #teamers, we find ourselves in the sights of a #sales person, or often enough, we are inviting them into our conference rooms to find out how their widget will help save the day. There's an art to the concept of selling, honed over the past 500,000 years, since Ugg tried to convince Oog that his wheel would revolutionize work...

We asked Ms. Amanda Berlin (@infosystir) to join us this week, for her expertise at working at an security company, as well as someone who sells products, to discuss how and why sales and sales engineers do what they do. I posit that there must be 'decision tree' or script that most follow in an effort to make a sale, and how to confront the pushy sales pitch head on, or in Amanda's way, to avoid it altogether.

We discuss Amanda's book she co-wrote with Lee Brotherston, whom we've had on our show before. Their #O'Reilly #book is on pre-sale right now, so you can order "The #Defensive #Security #Handbook" here: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920051671.do

Here is a new episode of Brakeing Down Security Podcast!

2016-048: Dr. Gary McGraw, Building Security into your SDLC, w/ Special guest host Joe Gray!

As part of our ongoing discussion about the #SDLC and getting security baked in as far left as possible, Joe Gray, host of the  Advanced Persistant Security #Podcast (find it at https://advancedpersistentsecurity.net/), Mr. Boettcher, and I sat down with Dr. Gary McGraw, author of "Software Security: Building Security In" to discuss his book. We are also doing this book as part of the Brakeing Security Book Club (check out our #Slack channel for more information).

Gary walks us through the 7 Kingdoms of getting more security in, including doing automated and manual code audits, proper penetration testing of the application at various stages (testing), documentation (if you don't know it works, how can you test it?), and your Security Operations people, monitoring for things once it goes into production.  Also, find out what Chapter he thinks you should skip altogether... the answer may surprise you... :)

Join Mr. Gray, Mr. Boettcher, and I for a discussion with a true leader in the software and application security industry.

Buy the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Software-Security-Building-Gary-McGraw/dp/0321356705
