The Weekly Enterprise News (segments 1 and 2) This week, we’ve had to make some last minute adjustments, so we’re going to do the news first, split into two segments. This week, we’re discussing:  Some interesting funding Two acquisitions - one picked up for $250M, the other slightly larger, at $25 BILLION Interesting new companies! On the 1 year anniversary of that thing that happened, Crowdstrike would like to assure you that they’re REALLY making sure that thing never happens again Flipping the script How researchers rooted Copilot, but not really talks to check out at Hacker Summer Camp detection engineering tips the Cloud Security Alliance has a new AI Controls Matrix sending in the National Guard to handle a breach! and how to read an AI press release  Interview: Guillaume Ross on Building Security from Scratch Guillaume shares his experiences building security from scratch at Canadian FinTech, Finaptic. Imagine the situation: you're CISO, and literally NOTHING is in place yet. No policies, no controls, no GRC processes. Where do you start? What do you do first? Are there things you can get away with that would be impossible in older, well-established financial firms? Visit  for all the latest episodes! Show Notes:

Weekly Enterprise Security News and Tips on Building Security From Day 1 - Guillaume Ross - ESW #418

Recent findings of AI ecosystem insecurities and attacks show the importance of needing AI governance in the supply chain. And this supply chain is rapidly expanding to include not only open-source software but also collaborative platforms where custom models, agents, prompts, and other AI resources are used. And with this expansion of third-party AI component and services use comes an expanded security threat often not included in traditional supply chain management processes. It's time to update our supply chain management process to include AI governance. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we invite three CISOs to discuss the challenges of AI and the supply chain, including:  Data privacy concerns Flaws and malicious code in AI dependencies Lack of security tools to test for AI Vibe coding risks  and more. But we also do the hard part, by discussing the changes needed to your supply chain management process to address these concerns. Visit  for all the latest episodes! Show Notes:

Open source software is a massive contribution that provides everything from foundational frameworks to tiny single-purpose libraries. We walk through the dimensions of trust and provenance in the software supply chain with Janet Worthington. And we discuss how even with new code generated by LLMs and new terms like slopsquatting, a lot of the most effective solutions are old techniques. Resources     Show Notes:

Hackberry PIs and Other Hacker Things - PSW #887

A smaller attack surface should lead to a smaller list of CVEs to track, which in turn should lead to a smaller set of vulns that you should care about. But in practice, keeping something like a container image small has a lot of challenges in terms of what should be considered minimal. Neil Carpenter shares advice and anecdotes on what it takes to refine a container image and to change an org's expectations that every CVE needs to be fixed. Visit  for all the latest episodes!

Managing the Minimization of a Container Attack Surface - Neil Carpenter - ASW #344

The industry is obsessed with vulnerabilities. From vulnerability assessment to vulnerability management to exposure management and even zero days, we love to talk about vulnerabilities. But what about misconfiguration? By definition it's a vulnerability or weakness, but it doesn't have a CVE (common vulnerability enumeration). Should we ignore it? Danny Jenkins, CEO and Founder at ThreatLocker, joins BSW to discuss why misconfigurations matter. Simply, you can prevent many cyberattacks by eliminating your misconfigurations. That's why ThreatLocker released Defense Against Configurations (DAC). Danny will discuss the benefits of DAC, including:  Immediate visibility into system misconfigurations before they become vulnerabilities Compliance transparency, showing exactly where systems fall short of industry standards One unified view, with filters by criticality, system, and framework Actionable insights, updated weekly and delivered straight to customers’ inboxes  Segment Resources:     This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.
