Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI, Automation, & Humans' Role In Security: A View From Rsac 2026 With Jeff Man and Dwayne McDaniel
Q: What is the worst security advice you've ever received
Advice suggesting obscurity or hiding a login page as a security measure is dangerous nonsense; there is always a door or entry point, and security must account for that reality rather than relying on obscurity.
AI, Automation, & Humans' Role In Security: A View From Rsac 2026 With Jeff Man and Dwayne McDaniel
Q: What is the best security advice you could give to someone
Understand how access happens: grasp the authentication and authorization flows (WebAuthN, OAuth, OIDC) and how machines perform these at millisecond speeds across networks, since access control is foundational to security.
AI, Automation, & Humans' Role In Security: A View From Rsac 2026 With Jeff Man and Dwayne McDaniel
Q: What is your favorite interview question
He values open-ended questions like 'Why us? Why do you want to do this?' because passion and alignment matter more than raw qualifications, and they often reveal genuine motivation.
AI, Automation, & Humans' Role In Security: A View From Rsac 2026 With Jeff Man and Dwayne McDaniel
Q: What is your favorite security command line tool
Dwayne's pick is PHPStan, a static analysis tool he used extensively during the Drupal era, which helped him understand code quality and security patterns; he recommends staying proficient with command line tools for efficiency and practical security work.
OIDC And IAP In Production: Scaling Startup Security For Deepfake Defense - Talia Smiley
Q: Why did you choose OIDC and IAP over long-lived credentials?
The choice creates a long-term sustainable workflow by eliminating long-lived credentials, using on-demand, just-in-time access that improves posture and security.
