Our guest talks about micro-segmentation, the implementation of firewall protection divided into tiny segments of your network; this is done by minimizing your firewall rulesets to one or a minimal set of computers. He describes why he is excited about security working for large banking institutions. Micro-segmentation supports zero-trust security models, which is also a subject on today's show. This show will pique the interest of technical network administrators out there. We hope you enjoy this episode of New Cyber Frontier.

Our host, Tim Montgomery, had the opportunity to speak with a guest, an Assistant Chair at the Leads School of Business at the University of Colorado. Our show looks at Blockchain Technologies from the business point of view. Dr. Lacek has spent a lot of time and written his Dissertation on the “Definition of Blockchain.” This very relevant and timely topic is something that many people wonder about as we hear different definitions from almost every article or researcher. The case studies show that the eco-systems and how blockchain is applied are more consistent than any single set of reports. Our guest explains that the use cases are driving full speed ahead; however, definitions and attempts at standards are lagging and inefficient. It is interesting to hear his explanation on where is the industry is going and that we have changed the nature of the conversation while considering the abilities of blockchain technology. Now that the conversation has changed, we cannot go back but must find a way to proceed through the new defined future.

Today's guest has a unique team-building method by finding out whether the team member's personality meets the organization's needs. He explains that the people will always be the challenge, as you can continually update technology and processes, but people are the determining factor. The discussion is on how finding the "We" and "Us" type team member makes a better performing team than the "I" and "Me" type team members. A CISO needs to be more of a team leader than a manager. Individualized approaches identify the strengths and weaknesses of staff and then design the direction for each to propel them to be the best version. Look at team inefficiencies in dollars and cents; if you pay for a fantastic team but don't seem to have it, this show will be good for you. Finally, we hear some good advice on identifying changes to a few members to make your team effective.

This next episode of IEEE Blockchain for Transactive Energy defines and explains the participatory grid. Our guest, Dr. Farrokh Rahimi, Executive Vice President with Open Access Technology International, goes through an exciting insider history for energy trading. Will we ever get to the point where each person trades energy for themselves? It could be the case, as we open up for transactive power between distributed energy providers, anyone with an electric car or renewable battery banks can participate. Listen for answers to questions such as Who are the players? How does the future look? Where are we at now? And the important one for this series: How does blockchain fit into this discussion? I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the revelations on this show.

Today's show is about overexposure on the internet; as companies provide more business, those services offered make them easier to find and exploit. As a result, malicious agents can scrape the internet and companies' networks to learn more about them than they would often like to be known. Combatting overexposure is a massive undertaking, and companies always find higher priorities; thus, the picture worsens. Our host says that business growth through M&A is a significant culprit leading to unknown configurations and massive infrastructure risks. The Guest uses an example of 22,000 open CCTVs found in a network scan to drive his point home. Next, hear some unique suggestions about resolving the problems from the ground up. Finally, they discuss the potential to start making a better future by first leaving past weaknesses and focusing on new products. Though this seems rather neglectful, it may lead to a better future.

Today we hear from Doug Britton at Haystack, who has come up with a great approach that tells us whether a candidate will be successful in a cybersecurity career. The CATA (Cyber Aptitude and Talent Assessment) relates to cognitive skills in various cybersecurity practices and jobs. This is excellent for job seekers and hiring managers alike. Doug brings student Maria Marquez, who explains her experience and how results were successful. We also demonstrate correlations between NICE (National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) training and job classifications. If you are a hiring manager or a job seeker, you will not want to miss this episode and check out testing services at HaystackSolutions.com.

Today’s show is about the secure development of software, known as DevSecOpps, as our guest calls it. We look at how to secure software from the perspective of someone trying to break it. Our Guest Ted Harrington has a background as a “Hacker” but has now turned from the dark side of the force to use his skills to help develop secure software. Ted has published a book called “Hackable.” After having the same conversation for years, Ted says the same ten categories kept coming to the top, and in his view, people were handling it the wrong way. We have a heated discussion on the divide between what our guest describes as “The way it has always been” and what he calls “The best approach.” Finally, he addresses the classic challenge of how security by design practices fit into a business. I think you will enjoy this new look at secure software development, where hackers and developers support each other by working together.

In this segment of the NCF, Dr. Murray discusses with Bob Zinga. The latter is the Director of Information Security at Directly and an Information Warfare Officer for the United States Navy Reserve in San Francisco. Bob and Shawn discuss the similarities and differences related to the security culture between both roles. In addition, Bob explains how a security leader needs to communicate to multiple audiences on the commercial side and how that can impact how security is perceived. To be successful, you need to speak the language of business and influence a culture of security.
