Log Off with Sam Van Ryder
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, CYBR.SEC.Community Co-Founder Sam Van Ryder reflects on the importance of truly stepping away from work in an industry that rarely slows down. From the mountains of Switzerland, Sam shares why cybersecurity professionals - especially those on the front lines - need real opportunities to disconnect, recharge, and avoid burnout.

A Grave Case of Confirmation Bias
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, Michael Farnum uses an unexpected discovery at a construction site in Tomball, Texas, to explore the dangers of confirmation bias in cybersecurity. He explains why suspicious activity doesn’t always mean an incident - and why immediately shutting everything down can create unnecessary business impact. Do you have a question for the host?

Everything is Everyone's Responsibility
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, legendary CISO Andy Ellis draws inspiration from a visit to New England Patriots training camp to challenge the idea that “security is everyone’s responsibility.” He observes that across a high-performing organization, people naturally contribute to security without making it their primary job - and argues cybersecurity teams should strive for the same outcome. Rather than asking every employee to become a security expert, security leaders should build security into the work people already do and connect it directly to the goals of the business.

Diversifying Supply Chains ‘Til the Cows Come Home
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, CYBR.SEC.Community Co-Founder Sam Van Rider reflects on the recent Fairlife cyberattack and what it reveals about the importance of supply chain diversity. From the mountains of Switzerland, he explores how redundancy, competition, and built-in resilience can help keep essential goods and services moving even when one part of the system is disrupted.

Art vs. Architecture
If your security dashboard looks impressive but fails to provide actionable metrics, it’s artwork - not infrastructure. In this episode of CYBR.Signal, CYBR.SEC.Community CEO Michael Farnum explains what CISOs, CIOs, and security leaders should demand from their product dashboards: data that supports better decisions, demonstrates measurable progress, and helps justify security investments to the board.

CISOs and Data Access
CISOs are typically not the owner of their organization's most critical (or even non-critical) assets and data. There are usually business unit leaders assigned to that, and the CISO's role is to help reduce the risk to those assets. If the CISO does have direct access to those assets, it's a bad architectural design. That's today's #CyberSunday topic. Want to reach out to the host?

EXEC.SEC.CON.
Security conferences and events are often built with a certain audience in mind. Some are for a a general audience, and others are focused on the CISO. But if an event has a focus on the CISO, it should be for a good reason. I discuss some of those reasons in today's #CyberSunday.

Practicing Tabletop Exercises
Does practice make perfect? Probably not perfect, but it does make you better. That also applies when performing tabletop exercises. But is it feasible to practice as much as you SHOULD when everyone has other jobs to do? That's what Michael is talking about in today's #CyberSunday.

Cybersecurity Mentorship
In mentorship, it's often thought that the mentor is doing the teaching and the mentee is doing the learning. But mentors should also be open to and seek out lessons that they can take from the mentee. In this #CyberSunday, I talk about how tenured #cybersecurity professionals can learn about new tech and new concepts from those who are newer to the field but have other experiences.

RSA Advice
The 2024 RSA Security Conference is here. While I am not going this year, I do want to give a few professional networking pointers for folks who are going, especially if you are a new conference attendee. These conference habits have helped me in my professional career, and I hope they help you as well. #CyberSunday #RSA2024 #securityconference #cybersecurity A quick note... I am talking about "professional networking" advice in this video, but I mentioned Jennifer Leggio's article in SecurityWeek in which she makes some very important points about other aspects of your professional like (no matter what profession you are in). Thanks to Jennifer for writing a very brave piece: https://www.securityweek.com/beyond-the-buzz-rethinking-alcohol-as-a-cybersecurity-bonding-ritual/ Want to reach out to the host?

Cyclical Attack Methods
Attack vectors and methods tend to by cyclical, meaning attackers will come back to see if old tricks will yield new results. I talk about one such attack vector that might be coming back in style... with a slight twist. Want to reach out to the host?

SIEM Trends
SIEM (Security Incident and Event Management) has been a round a long time. But there are some recent trends and new vendors that are creating fresh ways to implement and operationalize SIEM. I'm discussing a couple of the larger SIEM and security operations trends on today's #CyberSunday. Want to reach out to the host?

Cybersecurity Trends
How can you tell if a new #cybersecurity concept (think Zero Trust) in cybersecurity is a just a flash in the pan or a valuable idea that can be utilized in your program? In this #CyberSunday, I talk about an unusual method for being able to potentially tell the difference. Want to reach out to the host?

New Tools and Tech
There is a lot of fear of the security implications about AI and other new and/or improved technologies. And while some fear is healthy, we also can't let it keep us from thinking about uses for that same tech to improve security. Let's talk about it in this #CyberSunday. Want to reach out to the host?

Configuration Management
Michael talked about security control monitoring a few weeks ago. In this #CyberSunday, he is digging in a bit around an essential part of control monitoring: configuration management/monitoring. What is config management/monitoring, what do you need to do before you can even start monitoring and managing configs, etc. Want to reach out to the host?

Cyber Jobs
There is a lot of talk and advice on social media, blogs, etc. about the Cybersecurity job market. There's no doubt it's a tough market right now, but does that mean you should stay away? Here's my opinion on the topic and some quick advice of my own for experienced cyber folks who are having trouble getting interviews.

AT&T Outage
Many of us were affected by the cell carrier outage last week. Some initial explanations have come out, but are those explanations plausible? And is a #cyberattack just - or more - plausible than the explanation that AT&T gave? On today's #cybersunday, Michael talks about the outage, the explanations both given and imagined, and some ideas on what lessons we should learn from the outage. Want to reach out to the host?
