ESW #287 - Jeff Orloff, Paul Roberts

In the Enterprise Security News This week: more layoff announcements than funding announcements! Krit acquired by GreyNoise, Incident Response in AWS is different, Awesome open source projects for SecOps folks, Tyler Shields can't wait to talk about Product Led Growth, Forcing open source maintainers to use MFA, Twilio - the breach that keeps on pwning, The US Governments earmarks $15.6 BILLION for cybersecurity and we hear vendors salivating already, & more!

 

Security training isn't just about anti-phishing and security awareness for employees. When reading through breach details, a similar picture often emerges: the people were there, the tools were in place, but the people didn't know how to use the tools effectively. Every day, security tools catch attacks, but it doesn't matter if a human doesn't notice and tools are in 'monitor only' modes.

From its origins a decade ago, the grassroots movement to enshrine in law the right to repair our stuff (read: cell phones, laptops, home appliances, cars, machinery) has morphed into a potent, global movement. Today, much of the debate over right to repair laws has focused on issues like concentrations of market power by large corporations and anti-competitive behavior with regard to service and repair of "smart," connected products. However, there is a less-discussed but equally potent argument in favor of repair: cybersecurity and data privacy. In this conversation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs.org (pron: Secure Repairs), talks about the dire state of device security on the Internet of Things and how efforts by manufacturers to limit access to software updates, diagnostic tools and parts exacerbates IoT cyber risk, even as it burdens consumers and the environment.
