7MS #378: Interview with Zane West of Proficio

7MS #378: Interview with Zane West of Proficio

In today's episode, I sit down with Zane West of Proficio. Zane has been in information security for more than 20 years - starting out in the "early days" as a sysadmin and then moved up into global infrastructure architect function in the banking world. Today Zane manages Proficio's solution and product development. I sat down with Zane over Skype to talk about how companies can better analyze and defend their networks against attacks. Specifically, we talk about:

  • How important is it to have an IT background before you jump into security?
  • How can newb(ish) security analysts and pentesters better understand the political/financial struggles a business has, rather than charge in and scream "PWN ALL THE THINGS!"
  • Is there a "right way" to step into an organization, get a lay of the land and discover/prioritize their security risks?
  • Why in the world does it take twenty seven people to run a SOC?!
  • When should an organization consider engaging an MSSP to help them with their security needs?
  • What if your MSP also provides MSSP services? Is that a good or bad thing?
  • What are some tips for successfully deploying a SIEM?
  • What is the cyber kill chain about, and is it only something for the Fortune X companies, or can smaller orgs tip their toe in it as well? (Here's a nice graph to help you understand it)

7MS #690: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 74

Today’s tale of pentest pwnage is a classic case of “If your head is buried in the pentest sand, pop it out for a while, touch grass, and re-enumerate what you’ve already enumerated, because that can lead to absolute GOLD!”

7MS #688: Building a Pentest Training Course Is Fun and Frustrating

Today I talk about a subject I love while also driving me crazy at the same time: building a pentest training course! Specifically, I dissect a fun/frustrating GPO attack that I need to build very carefully so that every student can pwn it while also not breaking the domain for everybody else. I also talk about how three different flavors of AI failed me in solving a simple task.

7MS #687: A Peek into the 7MS Mail Bag – Part 5

Hi friends, we’re doing something today we haven’t done in a hot minute: take a dip into the 7MinSec mail bag! Today we cover these questions: If I’m starting a solo business venture as a security consultancy, is it a good idea to join forces with other solo security business owners and form a consortium of sorts? Have you ever had anything go catastrophically wrong during a pentest?  Yes, and this is an important link in the story: https://github.com/fortra/impacket/issues/1436 What ever happened with the annoying apartment neighbor who stomped around like a rhino when you made any noise during COVID? What happened to the “difficult family situation” you vaguely talked about a few months ago that involved police and lawyers – did that ever get resolved?

7MS #686: Our New Pentest Training Course is Almost Ready

Oh man, I’m so excited I can hardly sleep. Our new three-day (4 hours per day) training is getting closer to general release. I talk about the good/bad/ugly of putting together an attack-sensitive lab that students can abuse (but hopefully not break!), and the technical/curriculum-writing challenges that go along with it.

7MS #685: The Time My Neighbor Almost Got Scammed Out of $13K

Today’s kind of a “story time with your friend Brian” episode: a tale of how my neighbor almost got scammed out of $13k.  The story has a lot of red flags we can all keep in mind to keep ourselves (as well as kids/friends/parents/etc.) safer from these types of shenanigans.
