Infosec Thoughts (with Jayson E. Street & Tracy Maleeff)
Show Notes
Segment 1
In this episode, Tracy and Joe introduce Jayson E. Street. Tracy mentions Jayson’s talk about failing from Tactical Edge conference. Joe and Tracy agree that people in infosec do not talk enough about their failures. Jayson talks about how to break into infosec. He shares how he would survey his defenses as a security guard (30 years ago) from the lens of someone who would be breaking in.
Bad Guys will break in just like a red teamer, but they won’t give you a report to mitigate it.
Brian Krebs should not be your IDS.
Joe hits Jayson with a trick question about which language one should learn to break into infosec. Jayson passes the test with the answer of “English.” We continue down the rabbit hole of effective communications with regards to buzzwords and speaking the language of the audience. We talk about the use of the word “cyber” in the sense of cybersecurity in lieu of information security when speaking to the businesses.
Segment 2
Tracy asks Jayson how to approach talking to non-technical, non-security people about the umbrella of information security relative to explaining the various types of security disciplines and the differences in each. Jayson levels with us with regards to the culture of information security based on his travels across the world. Jayson tells us how he would collect information about a company using OSINT to phish the company or gain unauthorized access. He encourages listeners to go out and speak to non-security groups to raise awareness across other verticals.
