Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breaking Down the New National Cybersecurity Strategy
Q: How could the private sector contribute to more effective offensive-oriented defenses without overstepping legal boundaries?
Industry can support by coordinated takedowns, disruptions, and information sharing in a way that is cooperative and validated through government programs, ensuring actions are legally supported and do not harm the public while maintaining rapid, effective defense.
Breaking Down the New National Cybersecurity Strategy
Q: Rob, what do you see as the most challenging pillar to operationalize given current resource and regulatory constraints?
The critical infrastructure pillar is especially daunting because many operators are small or privately owned with limited resources, so the strategy increasingly needs to balance guidance, information sharing, and actual resources to help them upgrade securely.
Interview with a Threat Hunter: Brody Nisbet, Sr. Director of CrowdStrike OverWatch
Q: How would you summarize threat hunting?
Threat hunting involves tracking adversaries using a specific methodology and working with large data sets.
Taking Down Cybercriminals with Shawn Henry, Former FBI Leader
Q: How can collaboration between law enforcement and the private sector improve cybercrime takedowns?
Henry discusses the depth of collaboration evolving with the private sector serving as the front line in detection, providing vital intelligence and visibility that law enforcement lacks.
Taking Down Cybercriminals with Shawn Henry, Former FBI Leader
Q: What does law enforcement busting up cybercrime groups do to the behavior of newer adversaries?
Henry explains that while successful law enforcement actions should deter criminals, the high return on investment in cybercrime encourages adaptation rather than continued fear of prosecution.
