ASW #228 - Adrian Sanabria

<p>Most of the myths and lies in InfoSec take hold because they seem correct or sound logical. Similar cognitive biases make it possible for even the most preposterous conspiracy theories to become commonly accepted in some groups. This is a talk about the importance of critical thinking and checking sources in InfoSec. Our industry is relatively new and constantly changing. Too often, we operate more off faith and hope than fact or results. Exhausted and overworked defenders often don't have the time to seek direct evidence for claims, question sources, or test theories for themselves.</p> <p>Resources</p> <p>- <a href= "https://www.usenix.org/conference/enigma2023/presentation/sanabria"> https://www.usenix.org/conference/enigma2023/presentation/sanabria</a></p> <p>- <a href= "https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/conference/protected-files/enigma2023_slides_sanabria.pdf"> https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/conference/protected-files/enigma2023_slides_sanabria.pdf</a></p> <p>- <a href="https://yourbias.is">https://yourbias.is</a></p> <p>- Discuss: What Makes a Good Breach Response? - ESW #303: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpZiVu3xEs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpZiVu3xEs</a></p> <p> </p> <p>The aviation equivalent of ASCII art, a memory safety issue in OpenSSH that might not be terrible, a format string in F5 that might be terrible, a new MITRE framework for supply chain security, programming languages and secure code</p> <p> </p> <p>Visit <a href= "https://www.securityweekly.com/asw">https://www.securityweekly.com/asw</a> for all the latest episodes!</p> <p>Follow us on Twitter: <a href= "https://www.twitter.com/secweekly">https://www.twitter.com/secweekly</a></p> <p>Like us on Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/secweekly">https://www.facebook.com/secweekly</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Show Notes: <a href= "https://securityweekly.com/asw228">https://securityweekly.com/asw228</a></p>
