On this week’s show Dmitri Alperovitch, Sherrod DeGrippo and Joe Slowik join host Patrick Gray to talk through the week’s news:
- MalwareBytes the latest victim in the increasingly poorly-named “SolarWinds campaign”
- FireEye issues helpful guidance, tools, to help orgs detect “golden SAML” and related techniques
- Rob Joyce, Anne Neuberger, Michael Sulmeyer all get promoted! Wooo!
- Much, much more
This week’s show is brought to you by Airlock Digital. They make what we’re calling an execution control platform. Its central feature is easy-to-use and hard-to-bypass allowlisting. It’s a bunch of sensible and useable controls packaged up into a 7Mb. It slices, it dices, it slays lolbins and user powershell rights, and it comes in a beautiful suede pouch! It’s the endpoint protection you get when it’s built by practitioners in concert with people who actually understand windows internals. That’s right! Patrick is drinking the Kool-Aid on this one! Airlock founders Dave Cottingham and Daniel Schell join in this week’s sponsor interview to talk through allow-listings second wave of popularity.
