Sobre este áudio

There are great stories in the security industry that aren’t being told. Fascinating people who fly below the radar and aren’t being heard. We know because we encounter them in hallways, hotel lobbies and just about everywhere imaginable across the globe. Everytime we think “I wish I had recorded that conversation so that everyone could hear it…” Our goal with Security Voices is to provide a place for clear-headed dialogue with great people that’s unencumbered by the hyperbole and shouting that’s far too common in security circles. We don’t have anything against sponsors or sales pitches, but they run counter to our goal of cutting through the noise, so we don’t have either. We’re aiming for 100% clear signal.Copyright Security Voices

  • Wrap-up: Final Episode of Security Voices
    Jan 16 2024
    After 5 seasons, it’s curtain call for Security Voices. In this final episode, Jack and I reflect on half a decade of podcasting together through times that were both extraordinary for the world and for each of us personally. We discuss some of our favorite moments, most memorable guests, and the lessons learned from roughly 60 episodes of exploring the unique personalities and stories of cybersecurity. At around 40 minutes, our last pod is more short and sweet than long, tearful farewell.

    The Security Voices website will continue to be up for the foreseeable future so that it can be happily devoured by generative AI and any humans sticking around who want to know what things we’re like in the beforetimes.

    Jack and I hope that we left the industry a little better than when we started this project back in the winter of 2019. Thanks for listening.

  • Cultural Decryption: A Closer Look at Understanding the India/U.S. Relationship in Cyber
    Nov 27 2023
    The ascendancy of India in Silicon Valley is undeniable. From top executives such as Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Nikesh Arora (Palo Alto Networks) to leading investors, we’ve become well accustomed to working with and often for people who have immigrated from India. Given the wave of immigration from India started decades ago, our Indian coworkers, investors and leaders are such an established part of the tech industry that we often give little thought to the cultural differences that underlie our daily interactions. Nonetheless, the move to remote work strips away much of the high fidelity, in person interactions that make understanding each other easier, even if we were raised on different continents, speaking different languages, etc. In simple terms, while the stakes for understanding each other have never been higher, our actual means of communicating have gotten worse.

    This episode of Security Voices combines the perspectives of two experienced security leaders, Ashish Popli of Spotnana and Jason Loomis of Freshworks along with Jack and Dave. Ashish has been working in the U.S. since he completed his Masters at Stony Brook in ‘02 whereas Jason took the role of CISO for the Chennai-based Freshworks a little over a year ago. Their combined perspectives provide a 360 degree view of both what it takes for an Indian security leader to adapt and how a Los Angeles-based security leader has navigated the unique challenges of having a team based in India. Jack explains how B-Sides conferences in India also bear the clear imprint of the country’s culture.

    Over our roughly 60 minute discussion, Ashish and Jason share their stories of what works, what doesn’t, and perhaps most importantly, we explore the “why” behind those moments when something seems to be lost in translation. We hope you have a few “aha” moments like we did during the conversation and that this episode serves as a practical reminder that while much unites in the tech industry, we can go even further when we understand and respect our differences as well.

  • Farewell, Sun Tzu: The Modern Security Mindset with Kelly Shortridge
    Oct 3 2023
    The classic mindset of cyber security unmistakably originates from its early leaders: financial services, the defense industrial complex, and big companies that had too much to lose from ignoring what was called at the time “information security risk”. They tried to calculate largely unknowable risks to explain digital concepts to analog executives. They leaned on medieval metaphors such as castles and moats to make formerly arcane technology like firewalls understandable to people who just got their first AOL email address. And Sun Tzu quotes were used to make it absolutely clear that we were in a war against a shadowy, determined enemy that demanded our attention (and a generously sized budget).

    The cybersecurity landscape now bears little resemblance today to those early days, but far too much of how we reason about our industry is still clearly traceable back to those early days. Kelly Shortridge’s Security Chaos Engineering is a sneakily titled book that has less to do with testing technical boundaries and much more to do with modernizing our headspace to accommodate the new, incredibly complex environment we find ourselves in today. Sun Tzu quotes are replaced by Ursula K. Le Guin and Buckminster Fuller. Jurassic park analogies take center stage. Ice cream metaphors and decision trees supported by open source projects make the formerly esoteric approachable. Practical even.

    Our 1 hour conversation with Kelly covers many of the core ideas in the book she recently published along with Aaron Rhinehart, centering on adopting a mindset of evaluation and experimentation. A common thread running through the dialogue is that of empowerment: we live in a privileged time where much of what we do now can be stress tested to build resiliency. And that this is a far more sane approach given modern complexity than attempting to comprehensively model risk and prevent attacks. Cat and mouse? No, we and our adversaries are peers on equal footing who are capable of both offense and defense. The future, and the present for those who lean into it, is much more Spy vs. Spy than Tom and Jerry. We hope this dialogue takes you at least one step closer to it.
