Security Weekly Podcast Network (Video)

It's the holidays, your defenses are down, your inbox is lying to you, and yes—you're gonna click the link. In Part 1 of our holiday special, Doug White and a panel of very smart people explain why social engineering still works decades later, why training alone won't save you, and why the real job is surviving after the click. From phishing and smishing to click-fix attacks, access control disasters, and stories that prove humans remain the weakest—and most entertaining—link in security, this episode sets the stage for the attack we all know is coming.

Using OWASP SAMM to assess and improve compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is an excellent strategy, as SAMM provides a framework for secure development practices such as secure by design principles and handling vulns. Segment Resources: https://owaspsamm.org/ https://cybersecuritycoalition.be/resource/a-strategic-approach-to-product-security-with-owasp-samm/ As genAI becomes a more popular tool in software engineering, the definition of "secure coding" is changing. This session explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way developers learn, apply, and scale secure coding practices — and how new risks emerge when machines start generating the code themselves. We'll dive into the dual challenge of securing both human-written and AI-assisted code, discuss how enterprises can validate AI outputs against existing security standards, and highlight practical steps teams can take to build resilience into the entire development pipeline. Join us as we look ahead to the convergence of secure software engineering and AI security — where trust, transparency, and tooling will define the future of code safety. Segment Resources: https://manicode.com/ai/ Understand the history of threat modeling with Adam Shostack. Learn how threat modeling has evolved with the Four Question Framework and can work in your organizations in the wake of the AI revolution. Whether you're launching a formal Security Champions program or still figuring out where to start, there's one truth every security leader needs to hear: You already have allies in your org -- they're just waiting to be activated. In this session, we'll explore how identifying and empowering your internal advocates is the fastest, most sustainable way to drive security culture change. These are your early adopters: the developers, engineers, and team leads who already "get it," even if their title doesn't say "security." We'll unpack: Why you need help from people outside the security org to actually be effective Where to find your natural allies (hint: it starts with listening, not preaching) How to support and energize those allies so they influence the majority What behavioral science tells us about spreading change across an organization Segment Resources: Security Champion Success Guide: https://securitychampionsuccessguide.org/ Related interviews/podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPb14P8f4T1ITv3p3Y3XtKsyEAA8W526h How to measure success and impact of culture change and champions: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-soft-skills-hard-data-measuring-success-security-yhmse/ Global Community of Champions sign up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyXPAMf9M8idpDMwO4p2h5Ng8I0ffofZuY70BbmgCZNPUS5Q/viewform This interview is sponsored by the OWASP GenAI Security Project.

Open source projects benefit from support that takes many shapes. Kat Cosgrove shares her experience across the Kubernetes project and the different ways people can make meaningful contributions to it. One of the underlying themes is that code is written for other people. That means PRs need to be understandable, discussions need to be enlightening, documentation needs to be clear, and collaboration needs to cross all sorts of boundaries.

Interview Segment: Tony Kelly Illuminating Data Blind Spots As data sprawls across clouds and collaboration tools, shadow data and fragmented controls have become some of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. In this segment, we'll unpack how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) helps organizations regain visibility and control over their most sensitive assets. Our guest will break down how DSPM differs from adjacent technologies like DLP, CSPM, and DSP, and how it integrates into broader Zero Trust and cloud security strategies. We'll also explore how compliance and regulatory pressures are shaping the next evolution of the DSPM market—and what security leaders should be doing now to prepare.

Topic Segment: We've got passkeys, now what? Over this year on this podcast, we've talked a lot about infostealers. Passkeys are a clear solution to implementing phishing and theft-resistant authentication, but what about all these infostealers stealing OAuth keys and refresh tokens? As long as session hijacking is as simple as moving a cookie from one machine to another, securing authentication seems like solving only half the problem. Locking the front door, but leaving a side door unlocked. After doing some research, it appears that there has been some work on this front, including a few standards that have been introduced: DBSC (Device Bound Session Credentials) for browsers DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) for OAuth applications We'll address a few key questions in this segment: 1. how do these new standards help stop token theft? 2. how broadly have they been adopted?

Interview with Danny Jenkins: How badly configured are your endpoints? Misconfigurations are one of the most overlooked areas in terms of security program quick wins. Everyone freaks out about vulnerabilities, patching, and exploits. Meanwhile, security tools are misconfigured. Thousands of unused software packages increase remediation effort and attack surface. The most basic misconfigurations lead to breaches. Threatlocker spotted this opportunity and have extended their agent-based product to increase attention on these common issues.

Interview with Wendy Nather: Recalibrating how we think about AI AI and the case for toxic anthropomorphism. When Wendy coined this phrase on Mastodon a few weeks ago, I knew that she had hit on something important and that we needed to discuss it on this podcast. We were lucky to find some time for Wendy to come on the show! Quick note: while this was not a sponsored segment, 1Password IS currently a sponsor of this podcast. That doesn't really change the conversation any, except that I have to be nice to Wendy. But why would anyone ever be mean to Wendy???
