The Security Shit Show
Information security is mostly a shit show, so we made the Security Shit Show. This is the place where shit gets real. No filter. Straight talk about shit that ain’t right in the information security industry (or life in general). Three industry experts share their daily experiences and pick a topic to discuss each week. The Security Shit Show is LIVE on Thursday nights and the fans are ENCOURAGED to participate. If it’s not fun, it’s definitely good therapy! This is not a commercial podcast, meaning we won't be hocking product or taking sponsors. We suppose this could change sometime in the future, but probably not.

"Why going to the cloud means more work for security not less, shared responsiblity is 100% your problem
- Am I going to treat this like a green field, or the next dumpster to throw the data, systems, and stuff we can’t deal with in real life?
- What are my expectations? (planning, timing, longevity, migration, business, etc.)

Information security tells us that the job it is all about protecting data, protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data ultimately to protect the human(s) the data is about.
On average each human creates 146,880 MB of data per day for a staggering total of 1.145 trillion MB a day or 2.5 Quintillion bytes WHOA that’s a lot of data, where is all this data coming from and more importantly where is it going...

"Lots of us say that information security is EVERYONE'S responsibility. While this is sort of true, we use this as a copout more than anything else. The truth is, everyone has information security responsibilities but information security is NOT everyone's responsibility.
See what we did there?
Everyone has information security responsibilities. So, let's start at the top and work our way down. The Board of Directors, the CEO, other...

Every day we inch closer to a new computing reality, the arrival of commercially stable quantum computing, we hear about this new disruptive technology, that when unleashed will break the worlds strongest encryption in nanoseconds, that is a very scary proposition for any info-sec professional.
There is work being done today to make quantum resistant encryption or so we hope. It is already difficult enough to secure and keep up with...

Don't overthink this, human. Just take my word for it. Math is beautiful, math is your friend, and math is trustworthy. Math DOES NOT lie. Math can be used to figure out bank balances, areas of shapes, rates of acceleration, even the angle of the sun in Asunción Paraguay at 11:42am (local time) on May 7th, 2022. The list of useful things math can do is endless. You, human, you're a different story. You are also beautiful, and you m...

I'm fortunate, I am surrounded by good people whom are NOT like me, they bring different experiences, lives, thoughts, deeds, and viewpoints to all of life's interactions. That pool of good people continues to ebb and flow, often going weeks, months, and years between conversations. Some are thankfully more regular, and like clockwork we sit, talk, share ideas and breath a sigh of relief that all IS good in the world, at least at t...

When I sit back and think about it so much has changed in the last 24 months almost every part of our life’s is in some way much different now then it was before, and in others it is very much the same old story, so how do we keep up with all this change while keeping our sanity intact.
Even in the last couple of weeks the cybersecurity landscape has changed significantly. The world has gone from “not going to happen to me”, or “we ...

We’ve talked a little in the past about inner voices, and how some folks don’t have one (which I still find fascinating, and would offer up one of mine if you aren’t fortunate enough to have a traveling companion in your noggin); however, this conversation takes it a little further.
I’d like to unpack both some historic “what the heck” moments, as well as look at some of the current issues we see with folks opening their mouths bef...

Who will be the biggest breach?
Will we finally see something other than "password" as the #1 bad password?

Humans are creatures of energy conservation; it is baked into our DNA as part of our natural survival instincts, this natural tendency is what lead us to invent tools to help us get more done with less effort.
We are always looking for ways to make things easier on ourselves, usually with little to no regard for the long-term impact of such a convenience. This is true in every part of the human experience but it's magnified 100 time...

Read the title of the episode. Are you singing the song in your head right now?
You know, the hit song by Fleetwood Mac? Here, I'll help you out.
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Every time I encounter an ego in our industry, I immediately think they are channeling their inner Robert Denerio. Or when I run into a vendor who is in the protection racket, buy my tool or else. I remember We are here to protect people not to provide “protection”
Why do we feel the need to act like gangsters and thugs, bullying our way around, scaring the people we are supposed to be protecting. Our industry is rife with extortion...

Remember those days?
Remember the scene?
Remember when that was semi-acceptable?
Yea… long time ago, in a country pub a LONG ways away.
You might still have the luxury OF doing that in your favorite restaurant, bar, pub, or location…. Heck when you go to a hotel or entertainment location you can put things on the tab, HOWEVER in those cases they’ve already charged you for the room, and they DO have your credit card on file.
Yet we think...

Words matter, your choice of words can have a profound impact on the outcome, we love to speak OUR language the language of tech and engineering. Our language is complex and full of unique terms, it is a beautiful language that no one outside of tech understands.
We must ask ourselves why we would speak tech talk to non-technical people. This is like trying to speak Sanskrit to a person who doesn’t speak Sanskrit. We need subtitles ...

I do NOT need to treat every interaction with a female in InfoSec/IT/Cyber/Tech as an opportunity to peacock, and prove my manliness by dry humping the server rack.
