ToddleShark, Zeek, Stuxnet revisited, ICS, AMEX, Apple, Change, Josh Marpet, and More - SWN #366

The need for vuln management programs has been around since the first bugs -- but lots of programs remain stuck in the past. We talk about the traps to avoid in VM programs, the easy-to-say yet hard-to-do foundations that VM programs need, and smarter ways to approach vulns based in modern app development. We also explore the ecosystem of acronyms around vulns and figure out what's useful (if anything) in CVSS, SSVC, EPSS, and more.

The Simple Mistakes and Complex Seeds of a Vulnerability Management Program - Emily Fox - ASW #275

The SEC's new cyber reporting requirements are forcing organizations to rethink their compliance and risk programs. No longer can compliance and risk be static, point in time assessments. Instead they need to match the speed of security which is dynamic and real-time. Couple the difference in speeds with whistleblowers and attack groups reporting non-compliance with the new SEC rules and organizations find themselves in a regulatory nightmare. Igor Volovich, VP of Compliance Strategy for Cyber Compliance at Qmulos, joins BSW to share his "Notes from the battlefield" on how automation is the only way to effectively converge security, risk, and compliance into a dynamic, real-time discipline.

Farshad Abasi joins us again to talk about creating a new OWASP project, the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard. (Bonus points for not being a top ten list!) We talk about what it takes to pitch a new project and the problems that this new project is trying to solve. For this kind of project to be successful -- as in making a positive impact to how software is built -- it's important to not only identify the right audience, but craft guidance in a way that's understandable and achievable for that audience. This is also a chance to learn more about a project in its early days and the opportunities for participating in its development!
