The regular two nerds have the week off, but the former Director of the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence Andy Boyd joins Patrick Gray for a rollicking conversation in front of a live audience in San Francisco. Grugq and Tom return next week!

In this Risky Business News sponsored interview, Adam Boileau talks to Okta’s Cassio Sampaio about how cloud-native applications can move authorisation into a centralised model. This brings real benefits for consistency, control and auditing in distributed applications, beyond just the authentication part Okta is normally known for.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Adam Boileau talk about how Microsoft’s reprioritisation of security after recent breaches and a scathing CSRB report seem to be influencing other companies. They are now touting their security chops, so could it be that security is actually becoming a competitive advantage?

They also talk about law enforcement trying to make life difficult for the LockBit ringleader and how the Change Healthcare disaster had deeper underlying causes beyond “no MFA on Citrix”.

Patrick dials in from RSA in San Francisco to discuss the week’s security news with Adam, including:

• The west doxxes LockbitSupp, who must now hide his hundred million dollars
• Revil hacker behind Kasaya breach gets 14 years
• Microsoft makes some positive sounding* noises on security
• A fun flaw in nearly all VPN clients
• Gitlab admins continue their never-ending incident response
• And much, much more.

This week’s sponsor is Stairwell. Long time infosec researcher Silas Cutler joins us to talk through his adventures in attacker C2 systems, and how this feeds into Stairwell’s data.

* we’re still sceptical they’ll get it right, but they do at least seem to realise how deep the doo-doo they’re in is… Pat speculates they have … tentacles, and a regulatory-threat-gland.
