7MS #531: Interview with Christopher Fielder and Eugene Grant of Arctic Wolf

Today we're joined by some of our friends at Arctic Wolf - Eugene Grant and Christopher Fielder - to talk about compliance. Now hold on - don't leave yet! I know for many folks, compliance makes them want to bleach their eyeballs. But compliance is super important - especially because it is not the same as being secure. So we discuss the differences between security and compliance, and practical work we can do to actually be more compliant and secure, including:

  • Knowing what you have (assets, installed software, etc.) - Rumble is a cheap/free way to find out!
  • Creating core policies and procedures that you will actually follow
  • Learning about security frameworks that will help you build a security program from scratch
  • Preparing for your first (or next) pentest. Tools like PingCastle and BloodHound can help find hacker low-hanging fruit!
  • Knowing where your crown jewels are - be that data, a database, a key system, etc.
  • Writing critical documentation - especially backup/restore procedures.
  • Forming a security "dream team" to help drive your program
  • Asking the right security maturity questions at your next job interview (so you don't get hired into a dumpster fire!)

P.S. this is Christopher's sixth time on the program. Be sure to check out his first, second, third, fourth and fifth interviews with 7MS.

I found a great bit of reading that walks you through the “plays” of hacking – enumeration, exploitation, post-exploitation, etc. It’s a great (and affordable) book called The Hacker Playbook. Cheggitowt! Download: 7MS #34: The Hacker Playbook (audio)

Been a while since I shared an update on OSCP progress. It’s going good but…slow. However, I do have one (maybe obvious) tip to share that I hope will save you a ton of time. Download: 7MS #32: OSCP – part 3 (audio)

7MS #31: Network Detective (audio)

Network Detective is a tool we’ve been using as kind of an addendum to our full security assessment. It gives some nice, plain-English Excel spreadsheets and Word docs that report on AD health and structure, PC inventory and open ports, AV clients that aren’t working right, and a whole lot more.

7MS #30: Managing Privileged Accounts (audio)

Most organizations I talk to have no idea where their privileged accounts are used across the network. I recently saw a demo of a solution called CyberArk, which seems to address that problem. Download: 7MS #30: Managing Privileged Accounts (audio)

7MS #28: Infosec for Kids? (audio)

This is more of a random, wondering aloud type of episode as I think about raising my kids with infosec in mind. Specifically, what’s life going to be like for them growing up in an Internet-soaked world where there are constantly text/video/photos of them going online – to stay forever?
