Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PP117: Automating Firewall Rule Changes – A Real-World Case Study
Q: What role did Notabot play in the solution?
Notabot provided the IPAM backbone, allowed custom modeling of security policies, and enabled the validation engine to be used for both data integrity and rule deployment, keeping vendor-agnostic logic at the core.
PP117: Automating Firewall Rule Changes – A Real-World Case Study
Q: What problem were you solving before you automated firewall rule changes?
We had a slow, error-prone process where developers and other stakeholders submitted tickets through ServiceNow, which then went through multiple review stages and a CAB, causing days to weeks of delay.
PP114: MACsec Overview
Q: What are the main keying materials in MACsec and how are they derived?
The main connectivity association key serves as the master key; a key encrypting key encrypts the payload key (session key). The session key is used to encrypt data and is rotated and derived per association, with key server responsibilities distributed per link.
PP114: MACsec Overview
Q: What's the value of encrypting traffic locally with MACsec?
Encrypting on the campus LAN protects confidentiality and integrity for inter-switch traffic and for endpoints that may not have end-to-end encryption elsewhere, reducing risk of sniffing or tampering within trusted networks and across OT environments.
PP112: When You Look But Don’t Find: The Art of Knowing When to Stop
Q: What encompasses a threat hunt and what triggers a hunt?
A threat hunt typically begins with threat intelligence to form a hypothesis about what attackers might be doing, then analysts search logs to prove or disprove that hypothesis. The process is flexible—there is no single right way—and even finding nothing can be valuable for learning and process improvement.
