The Biden Cyber Executive Order includes a Software Bill of Materials that is a critical and necessary first measure for protecting the software supply chain. To defend against cyber attacks, such as the ones that impacted SolarWinds and the Colonial Pipeline, organizations also need transparency about the behaviors of the software in their supply chain––how, and with whom, they are engaging in and outside of their networks. Ben Higgins and Ted Driggs of ExtraHop join Security Weekly to explore how behavior transparency can give organizations an advantage by distinguishing between expected noise and indications of compromise.

CISOs know the power of security as a driver of business, but other stakeholders often equate security with compliance. Security shouldn’t be viewed as a controlling organ - then it will stall innovation and become a blocker for deploying new techniques. Implemented and evaluated correctly, new security tools should speed up the development processes and enable innovation. So how do you measure success in app sec? There are several methods that define the success of a new tool. New tools have to live up and in most instances exceed the existing solutions in place and should help developers to do their job more efficiently. Here we can discuss the relevance of pre-planning and the definition of clear success criteria to get the most out of any solution decided upon. We draw parallels to real world examples of companies that have found success by optimising the time spent on evaluating and implementing new tools.
