Do your eyes glaze over when looking at a long list of annual health insurance enrollment options – or maybe while you’re trying to calculate how much you owe the IRS? You might be wondering the same thing we are: Where’s the guidebook for all of this grown-up stuff? Whether opening a bank account, refinancing student loans, or purchasing car insurance (...um, can we just roll the dice without it?), we’re just as confused as you are. Enter: “Grown-Up Stuff: How to Adult” a podcast dedicated to explaining the complexities of adulting for which most of us are woefully under-prepared. In each episode, we seek out folks who can actually help us start to make sense of all the basic life skills required to be, well, a grown-up.

Enjoying the content? Let us know your feedback! The world of cybersecurity isn’t just about defending laptops and servers—it’s also about safeguarding the “invisible” corners of our networks: those printers, cameras, routers, and dozens of other devices that quietly power our organizations. But what do you do when you can’t install security software or agents on these endpoints? In this episode of YusufOnSecurity, we’re digging into the art and science of protecting infrastructure you can’t easily touch or monitor from within. From game-changing network tactics to clever monitoring tricks, we’ll explore the evolving landscape of agentless security—and why protecting these overlooked devices just might be the next frontier in building a truly resilient environment. Stay with me as we unlock the secrets of securing the unmanageable. - https://www.techtarget.com : Agent vs Agentless Security Learn The Differences Be sure to subscribe!

231 - A Crash Course in Vendor Risk, Lessons from the CrowdStrike Outage 29:15

לפני 5 weeks29:15

29:15

Enjoying the content? Let us know your feedback! Today, we’re focusing on the critical lessons from one of the most disruptive IT failures in recent memory: the global outage triggered by a CrowdStrike software update on July 19, 2024. While the headlines focused on grounded flights and downed systems, the real story lies in what this incident revealed about the way we build, secure, and rely on digital infrastructure. This episode isn’t just about a faulty update—it’s about the cascading impact of vendor trust, software architecture, and system design decisions made long before disaster strikes. We’ll explore how over-reliance on a single vendor can introduce hidden points of failure, why resilience must be baked into every layer of our IT stack, and how incident response can make or break reputations in a hyperconnected world. We’ll also look at Microsoft’s rapid response and how this moment might reshape the rules for how security software integrates with Windows. The takeaway? In cybersecurity, it’s not enough to be secure—you also have to be prepared for when your most trusted systems fail. Be sure to subscribe!

Enjoying the content? Let us know your feedback! This week on YusufOnSecurity, we’re diving into a topic that’s become increasingly critical as our world grows more connected: the security of the Internet of Things, or IoT. From smart thermostats and wearable fitness trackers to industrial sensors and connected cars, IoT devices are now woven into the fabric of our daily lives and business operations. They promise greater convenience, efficiency, and innovation—but they also introduce new risks and vulnerabilities that many organizations and individuals are just beginning to understand. Securing IoT isn’t just about protecting gadgets; it’s about safeguarding the data they collect, the networks they connect to, and ultimately, the people and processes that rely on them. As the number of IoT devices skyrockets, attackers are finding new ways to exploit weak points—sometimes with far-reaching consequences. In this episode, we’ll explore why IoT security matters, the unique challenges it presents, and practical steps you can take to protect your connected world. - https://www.cisco.com : What is iOT? - https://www.iiconsortium.org : Security Maturity Model Be sure to subscribe!
