Google IO 2011 30 Min Countdown Explosion

Cybersecurity is a cat-and-mouse game where the mouse always has long had the upper hand because it’s so easy for new malware to go undetected. Dr. Eli David, an expert in computational intelligence and CTO of Deep Instinct, wants to use AI to change that, bringing the GPU-powered deep learning techniques underpinning modern speech and image recognition to the vexing world of cybersecurity.

Ep. 9: Winning the Cybersecurity Cat and Mouse Game with AI

In the age of virality, what does it actually mean to be popular? When does popularity -- or good product design, for that matter -- cross over from desire and engagement... to addiction? Journalist and editor Derek Thompson, author of Hit Makers: The Science of Popularity in an Age of Distraction -- and NYU professor Adam Alter, author of Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked -- share their thoughts on these topics with Hanne Tidnam in this episode of the a16z Podcast.

The discussion covers everything from the relationship between novelty and familiarity (we like what we know we like! and want more of it!) to what makes a hit. And what's going on when we suddenly fall in love with something "new" and can't get enough of it -- like playing a new video game or binge-watching a TV show.

What exactly happened? And how can you best protect yourself? Get answers to these questions and more as Lance Spitzner, Director at SANS Securing the Human, weighs in on the data breach affecting 143 million Equifax users

Equifax Breach

People, process, and technology. It’s an interlocked trio that’s vital to most organizations today. And when there’s a shift in security operations or strategy, all three will feel the jolt. In this episode, we’ll be talking with two guest speakers who draw on their firsthand experiences to share must-do and avoid-at-all-costs security operations and strategy advice.

Some of the topics that we’ll cover include:
•Skills that are most needed for today’s security operations and analyst roles
•Differentiating between product security and IT security
•How to adapt security operations and architecture for public cloud deployments

Security Operations and Strategy

It’s never good news when potential security exploits are detected. But when they affect all personal computers, mobile devices and cloud infrastructure dating back to 1995, it creates a problem of a whole new magnitude. In this episode, we’ll be talking with Paul Kocher, the researcher credited with co-discovering Spectre and a co-author of the Meltdown research paper.

Some of the topics that we cover include:

•How did these vulnerabilities happen, and why were they not detected sooner?
•Did the rush to bring technology to market play a role in allowing these exploits to slip through the cracks?
•What are the main concerns to look out for—both as an individual and as a CISO?

Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο μαζί μας ο Βασίλης Κεμερλής https://cs.brown.edu/~vpk/, ερευνητής σε θέματα ασφάλειας και assistant professor at Brown University. Ο Βασίλης έχει τεράστια εμπειρία σε θέματα penetration & hardening σε ακαδημαικό επίπεδο αλλά και στη βιομηχανία με θητεία σε εταιρίες όπως Oracle & Microsoft. Συζητάμε μαζί για τους βασικούς ορισμούς της ασφάλειας και ξεκινάμε από social engineering, πρωτόκολα, κρυπτογραφία μέχρι τα κενά ασφάλειας Spectre & Meltdown και την κυβερνοασφάλεια σε επίπεδο στρατού.
