Carbon Black's CTO Ben Johnson on EDR, the layered approach, and threat intelligence

Ben is co-founder and chief security strategist for Carbon Black.
In that role, he uses his experience as a cofounder and chief technology officer for Carbon Black, which merged with Bit9 in February 2014, to drive the company’s message to customers, partners, the news media and industry analysts.
Johnson, who was directly responsible for the powerful functionality of the Carbon Black endpoint threat detection and response (ETDR) solution, has extensive experience building complex systems for environments where speed and reliability are paramount.
His background also includes a great deal of technical “agility,” having worked on advanced operational teams supporting U.S. national security missions and writing complex calculation engines for the financial sector.
Ben earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Chicago and a master’s degree in computer science from Johns Hopkins University

Brakeing Down Security was so happy to have him on to discuss EDR (#Endpoint Detection and Response), TTP (#Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), and #Threat #Intelligence industry.

Ben discusses with us the Layered Approach to EDR:
1. Hunting
2. Automation
3. Integration
4. Retrospection
5. Patterns of Attack/Detection
6. indicator-based detection
7. Remediation
8. Triage
9. Visibility

We also discuss how VirusTotal's changes in policy regarding sharing of information is going to affect the threat intel industry.

Ben also discusses his opinion of our "Moxie vs. Mechanisms" podcast, where businesses spend too much on shiny boxes vs. people.

Brakesec apologizes for the audio issues during minute 6 and minute 22. Google Hangouts was not kind to us :(

2016-009-Brian Engle, Information Sharing, and R-CISC

We've reached peak "Br[i|y]an" this week when we invited our friend Brian Engle on to discuss what his organization does. Brian is the Executive Director of the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center.
"Created by retailers in response to the increased number and sophistication of attacks against the industry, the R-CISC provides another tool in retailers’ arsenal against cyber criminals by sharing leading practices and threat intelligence in a safe and secure way." -- R-CISC website
To learn more, visit https://r-cisc.org/ 
We discussed with Brian a bit of the history of the #R-CISC, and why his organization was brought into being. We ask Brian "How do you get companies who make billions of dollars a year to trust another competitor enough to share that they might have been compromised?" "And how do you keep the information sharing generic enough to not out a competitor by name, but still be actionable enough to spur members to do something to protect themselves?"

**I (Bryan) apologize for the audio. I did what I could to clean it up. Seriously don't know what happened to screw it up that badly. I can only imagine it was bandwidth issues on my Skype connection**
