We Put the FUN in InFunSec
This week's episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
We Put the FUN in InFunSec
was recorded in person in San Francisco. Joining me and co-host, Mike Johnson, was Adrian Ludwig, CISO, Atlassian. All three of us discussed:
The most fun part of security is red teaming.
We've come to the conclusion that offense is the most fun part of security. While there is some satisfaction of stopping the hacks, it's really fun being the cause of "approved" havoc.
CISO's balancing act.
If a business wants to get their CISO involved in business decisions all parties must agree on the expectation of value that the CISO is bringing to the business (maybe closing sales), to the security team, and to the rest of the business.
Phishing works when it takes advantage of interfaces we know and trust.
Phishing morphs over time as we become comfortable with new trusted communications. For example, who questions the "See translation" link underneath some apparently foreign copy? That link could be a compromise. Be wary of what you come to automatically accept and trust.
