EP201 Every CTO Should Be a CSTO (Or Else!) - Transformation Lessons from The Hoff
Guest: Chris Hoff, Chief Secure Technology Officer at Last Pass Topics: I learned that you have a really cool title that feels very “now” - Chief Secure Technology Officer? What’s the story here? Weirdly, I now feel that every CTO better be a CSTO or quit their job :-) After, ahem, not-so-recent events you had a chance to rebuild a lot of your stack, and in the process improve security. Can you share how it went, and what security capabilities are now built in? How much of a culture change did that require? Was it purely a technological transformation or you had to change what people do and how they do it? Would you recommend this to others (not the “recent events experience”, but the rebuild approach)? What benefits come from doing this before an incident occurs? Are there any? How are you handling telemetry collection and observability for security in the new stack? I am curious how this was modernized Cloud is simple, yet also complex, I think you called it “simplex.” How does this concept work?

EP200 Zero Touch Prod, Security Rings, and Foundational Services: How Google Does Workload Security
Guest: Michael Czapinski, Security & Reliability Enthusiast, Google Topics: “How Google protects its production services” paper covers how Google's infrastructure balances several crucial aspects, including security, reliability, development speed, and maintainability. How do you prioritize these competing demands in a real-world setting? What attack vectors do you consider most critical in the production environment, and how has Google’s defenses against these vectors improved over time? Can you elaborate on the concept of Foundational services and their significance in Google's security posture? How does your security approach adapt to this vast spectrum of sensitivity and purpose of our servers and services, actually? How do you implement this principle of zero touch prod for both human and service accounts within our complex infrastructure? Can you talk us through the broader approach you take through Workload Security Rings and how this helps? Resources: “How Google protects its production services” paper (deep!)

EP199 Your Cloud IAM Top Pet Peeves (and How to Fix Them)
Guests: Michele Chubirka, Staff Cloud Security Advocate, Google Cloud Sita Lakshmi Sangameswaran, Senior Developer Relations Engineer, Google Cloud Topics: What is your reaction to “in the cloud you are one IAM mistake away from a breach”? Do you like it or do you hate it? Or do you "it depends" it? :-) Everyone's talking about how "identity is the new perimeter" in the cloud. Can you break that down in simple terms? A lot of people say “in the cloud, you must do IAM ‘right’”. What do you think that means? What is the first or the main idea that comes to your mind when you hear it? What’s this stuff about least-privilege and separation-of-duties being less relevant? Why do they matter in the cloud that changes rapidly? What are your IAM Top Pet Peeves?

EP198 GenAI Security: Unseen Attack Surfaces & AI Pentesting Lessons
Guests: Ante Gojsalic, Co-Founder & CTO at SplxAI Topics: What are some of the unique challenges in securing GenAI applications compared to traditional apps? What current attack surfaces are most concerning for GenAI apps, and how do you see these evolving in the future? Do you have your very own list of top 5 GenAI threats? Everybody seem to! What are the most common security mistakes you see clients make with GenAI? Can you explain the main goals when trying to add automation to pentesting for next-gen GenAI apps? What are your AI testing lessons from clients so far?

EP197 SIEM (Decoupled or Not), and Security Data Lakes: A Google SecOps Perspective
Guest: Travis Lanham, Uber Tech Lead (UTL) for Security Operations Engineering, Google Cloud Topics: There’s been a ton of discussion in the wake of the three SIEM week about the future of SIEM-like products. We saw a lot of takes on how this augurs the future of disassembled or decoupled SIEMs. Can you explain what these disassembled SIEMs are all about? What are the expected upsides of detaching your SIEM interface and security capabilities from your data backend? Tell us about the early days of SecOps (nee Chronicle) and why we didn’t go with this approach? What are the upsides of a tightly coupled datastore + security experience for a SIEM? Are there more risks or negatives of the decoupled/decentralized approach? Complexity and the need to assemble “at home” are on the list, right? One of the 50 things Google knew to be true back in the day was that product innovation comes from technical innovation, what’s the technical innovation driving decoupled SIEMs? So what about those security data lakes? Any insights? Resources: EP139 What is Chronicle?

Cloud Security Podcast by Google focuses on security in the cloud, delivering security from the cloud, and all things at the intersection of security and cloud. Of course, we will also cover what we are doing in Google Cloud to help keep our users' data safe and workloads secure.
We’re going to do our best to avoid security theater, and cut to the heart of real security questions and issues. Expect us to question threat models and ask if something is done for the data subject’s benefit or just for organizational benefit.
We hope you’ll join us if you’re interested in where technology overlaps with process and bumps up against organizational design. We’re hoping to attract listeners who are happy to hear conventional wisdom questioned, and who are curious about what lessons we can and can’t keep as the world moves from on-premises computing to cloud computing.
