Cybersecurity Myths - Eugene Spafford - PSW #839
Manage episode 434433345 series 1252135
Early on in his career Spaf was working with microcode and continued to work on technical projects. As time went on he realized that focusing on the non-technical work, such as policies and shaping our thinking, would help move the needle. Borrowing concepts from his book on the subject, we will delve into some cybersecurity myths such as: Are users really the weakest link? Are cybersecurity vendors truly incentivized to provide better security? Do we agree on what cybersecurity really means? - Do not miss this segment!
This week: Option ROMS are a novel way to compromise a system at the lowest level, Sinkclose opens AMD processors up to attacks, at home in your firmware exploiting SMM complete with examples, Sonos speakers get hacked and enable attackers to listen in on your conversations, DEF CON badges use new chips and are not without controversy, lasers that can steal your passwords, it was a regex, Larry updates us on some IoT research, attackers have your SSN, and more updates from last week's hacker summer camp!
