Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The Anatomy of Cloud Ransomware with Matt Castriotta
Q: What is the single most important takeaway for cloud resilience?
Understand and internalize the shared responsibility model, treat cloud protections like data center protections, plan for worst-case breaches, and ensure you can recover quickly to meet business RTOs.
The Anatomy of Cloud Ransomware with Matt Castriotta
Q: What does a cloud ransomware recovery look like, especially to avoid restoring attackers along with backups?
Recovery should start with ensuring that what is being restored is clean, maintaining immutability and air-gapping of backups, and having a tested, isolated recovery environment with a clear minimum viable business in mind so you can restore the most critical services first.
The Anatomy of Cloud Ransomware with Matt Castriotta
Q: What are two or three security assumptions you challenge when entering a cloud migration engagement?
The lift-and-shift mentality often ignores the reality that visibility and control in the cloud differ significantly from on-prem; organizations should decide whether to refactor to cloud-native services and ensure robust identity controls and non-human identities are managed with just-in-time privileges.
