Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DE on Mac Finally Has a Champion. Her name is Olivia Gallucci.
Q: So how did you end up in Mac OS internal work out of all places in detection engineering? Did you even start in detection engineering?
Olivia explains her path through the security field via open-source communities, a stint on Apple's red teams, and a natural attraction to security through obscurity in consumer products. She describes how documenting complex internals and focusing on history and security of IOKit propelled her into macOS detection engineering.
GRC, the Passenger Princess of the SOC? feat. Ayoub Fandi
Q: Are you coming to Black Hat this summer?
Ayoub expresses interest in attending Black Hat USA and DefCon, sharing past RSA involvement and a desire for a juicy talk at DefCon, highlighting the ongoing appetite for hands-on, hacker-style content.
A DE's Guide to Staying in the Loop feat. Your Favorite Detection Engineering Instructor Hayden Covington
Q: How do you stay in the loop without losing the fundamentals of Detection Engineering?
Maintain a strong foundation of the lifecycle, validate continuously, and use AI to accelerate, not replace, core skills. Keep manual rule-writing and critical thinking active, and use guardrails and approvals to prevent drift.
Axios, Mythos, and a Lethal Trifecta Walk Into a SOC feat. John Hammond
Q: And then there's, it puts so much onus on the blue to keep up, it's almost like an asymmetrical match here. So I'm curious, what's your evolving kind of take, your POV on the evolving role of detection engineering?
John discusses the shifting balance between red-team insights and blue-team defense, emphasizing the need to prioritize threat-informed detections, integrate real-world attack simulations, and adapt to a broad, evolving landscape including AI-driven threats and threat intel. He highlights the value of learning from red-team output to guide defense priorities and stresses collaboration across the security ecosystem.
