BlackHat 2024: Day 2 Wrap-Up – BH24 #2

Join us as we discuss how critically important it is for a CISO to establish, maintain, and frequently leverage in informal network. With almost daily changes in the threat landscape across all industries, it's critical to have informal but trusted resources to rely on for advice, information, and just overall "sounding board" opportunities.

The code curation considerations of removing abandoned protocols in OpenSSL, kernel driver lessons from CrowdStrike's crash, choosing isolation primitives, cross-cache attacks made possible by SLUBStick, and more!

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Job Search Strategies for CISOs. In part 1, we discuss the challenges facing the CISO role and it's hiring. As CISOs leave the role, the position is not necessarily being refilled. How will this impact future CISO hiring?
