Show Topic Summary (less than 300 words) Insider threat still exists, Lynsey Wolf talks with us about HR’s role in insider threat, how prevalent investigations are in the post-pandemic work from home environment.   Questions and potential sub-topics (5 minimum): What is the difference between insider threat and insider risk? Motivators of insider threat (not much different than espionage,IMO -bryan)  (MICE: Money, Ideology, Compromise, and Ego.) https://thestack.technology/pentagon-leaks-insider-threat-sysadmin/  75% of all insider threats are being kicked off by HR departments. In short, it's proactive. “How did HR figure that out?” How are investigations normally initiated? What tools are they implementing to check users or predicting a disgruntled employee?” UEBA? CASB? Employee surveys that are ‘anonymous’? Someone who reported others and it was dismissed? What if HR ‘gets it wrong’ or ‘it’s a hunt to find people no into ‘groupthink’ or ‘not a culture fit’? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/french-worker-fired-for-not-being-fun-at-work-wins-lawsuit-cubik-responds/ How can organizations be mindful of how and what data is collected to mitigate risk without affecting employee trust? And who watches the watchers to ensure data is handled responsibly? Are there any privacy guidelines companies need to understand before they implement such a system? (GDPR? CCPA? Privacy notices? Consent to monitoring on login? https://securiti.ai/blog/hr-employee-data-protection/ ) Are companies causing the thing they are protecting against? (making an insider threat because they’ve become repressive?) (hoping there’s an ‘everything in moderation idea here… finding the happy medium between responsible ‘observability’ and ‘surveillance’) Lots of ‘insider threat’ tools, including from EDR companies. Do companies do a good job of explaining to employees why you need EDR? Quiet Quitting - latest term for companies to use to describe “employee has a side gig”. How does this figure into insider threat? Is it assumed that people only have one ‘thing’ they do, or did the lack of a commute give people more time during the pandemic to diversify? Solutions for employees? Separate their work and private/side gig? Learn what their contract states to keep conflicts of interest or your current/past employer from taking your cool side project/start-up idea away from you? Solutions for companies?   Additional information / pertinent Links (would you like to know more?): (contact info for people to reach out later): https://www.cisa.gov/detecting-and-identifying-insider-threats  https://venturebeat.com/data-infrastructure/how-observability-has-changed-in-recent-years-and-whats-coming-next/  https://ccdcoe.org/library/publications/insider-threat-detection-study/  https://resources.sei.cmu.edu/asset_files/TechnicalReport/2016_005_001_454627.pdf (insider threat ontology) https://www.intelligentcio.com/apac/2022/08/01/survey-reveals-organizations-see-malicious-insiders-as-a-route-for-ransomware/  https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/04/08/organizations-insider-threats-issue/  https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/what-is-ueba  https://www.gartner.com/en/information-technology/glossary/cloud-access-security-brokers-casbs  https://thecyberwire.com/glossary/mice https://qohash.com/the-high-price-of-trust-the-true-cost-of-insider-threats/  https://abc7chicago.com/classified-documents-jack-teixeira-air-national-guard-arrest/13126206/ (Air National Guardsman accused in military records leak makes 1st court appearance - story still developing as of 16 April 2023) https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/4/21354906/anthony-levandowski-waymo-uber-lawsuit-sentence-18-months-prison-lawsuit    Show Points of Contact: Amanda Berlin: @infosystir @hackershealth  Brian Boettcher: @boettcherpwned Bryan Brake: @bryanbrake @bryanbrake@mastodon.social Website: https://www.brakeingsecurity.com Twitch: https://twitch.tv/brakesec  Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast

  Guest info Name and Title: Nickolas Means, VP of Engineering at SYM Email/Social Media Contact: @nmeans on Twitter, @nmeans@ruby.social on Mastodon Time Zone (if other than Pacific): Central (Austin, TX)   Show Topic Summary / Intro We welcome Nickolas Means to the stream. Nick is the VP of Engineering at Sym, the adaptive access tool built for developers. He's been an engineering leader for more than a decade, focused on helping teams build velocity through trust and autonomy. He's also a regular speaker at conferences around the world, teaching more effective software development practices through stories of real-world engineering triumphs and failures. He’s also the co-host of “Managing Up” a podcast with  Management tips, stories, and interviews to help navigate the challenges of managing creative and technical teams.   Questions and potential sub-topics (5 minimum): 'blameless environment' during an incident. We can discuss working an incident and if a 'blameless' environment the exception or the rule (stories from the trenches are always welcome) Building a compliance program without tanking your engineering velocity... I'd like to speak about that in terms of overall security (product security, scanning, license checks, and more) Is there a playbook to building more efficient dev and security teams? Can cross training dev in basic security, or security in sprint planning processes make a better experience for all? Will we ever solve ‘shifting left’? What does Shifting Left really mean to engineering teams, or is that a term security people created to try and speak ‘dev/eng’?  ‘Managing Up’... security is often asked to do a lot. Be STO when you don’t manage the resources, timeline, etc. When teams are small, you’re either in the operational/tactical, when management wants a ‘tactical/strategic’ view. What can the overall business do to create a good working relationship out of the gate? “Make a dashboard” is all well and good, except when your org lacks maturity across the board. What are some realistic expectations management should have when the company is small?  (I will provide additional context during the stream)   Additional information / pertinent Links (would you like to know more?): https://managingup.show/ - Managing Up Podcast “Management tips, stories, and interviews to help navigate the challenges of managing creative and technical teams.“ https://symops.com/ - Adaptive access management tools built for engineers https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en https://www.terraform.io/ https://news.stanford.edu/2022/12/05/explains-recent-tech-layoffs-worried/    Show Points of Contact: Amanda Berlin: @infosystir @hackershealth  Brian Boettcher: @boettcherpwned Bryan Brake: @bryanbrake @bryanbrake@mastodon.social Website: https://www.brakeingsecurity.com Twitch: https://twitch.tv/brakesec  Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast
