Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building Automation Frameworks and Tackling Cloud Archiving with Fred Lhoest
Q: What is it like managing IT for a large, multi-country telecom during a major infrastructure migration?
Fred describes coordinating a lean, capable team across time zones, staying ahead of issues by monitoring indicators, and focusing on automation to reduce daily firefighting while highlighting the need for human judgment in decision-making.
Shifting Security and Protecting the Pharma Supply Chain with Andy Hillis
Q: How has your approach to AI been implemented in a regulated environment?
Adopt a cautious, human-in-the-loop approach with governance councils, require a defined ROE framework for AI-induced improvements, and implement guardrails to ensure that any citizen developer outputs go through established IT and regulatory controls before deployment.
Shifting Security and Protecting the Pharma Supply Chain with Andy Hillis
Q: What are the three most actionable steps for a life sciences company to improve security?
Know exactly what you have through comprehensive asset discovery, accept that you cannot do it all alone and bring in experienced staff or services, and socialize and resource ISO 27001-like initiatives so they become ongoing business priorities rather than one-off projects.
Defending the Authentication Flow: Device Code Phishing with Selena Larson
Q: What are two immediate, practical steps defenders can take to mitigate these attacks now?
1) Block device code authentication flows via conditional access policies so device code cannot be used for sign-in; 2) Enforce device compliance by requiring sign-ins to originate from enrolled or registered devices, narrowing the attack surface.
Defending the Authentication Flow: Device Code Phishing with Selena Larson
Q: What does device code phishing look like from the victim's perspective and how does it bypass MFA?
Victims receive an email with a link that launches an authentic device code flow; entering the code authenticates through Microsoft OAuth, inadvertently giving attackers access. The attack mimics legitimate signup/login UX, leveraging familiar branding and a short-lived code to induce trust.
