On this week’s show Patrick and Adam discuss the week’s security news, including:

• Microsoft reassures* us that they take security very seriously*
• Cisco ASA firewalls get sneakily backdoored, but no one’s quite sure how
• Change Healthcare was 1FA Citrix all along
• The FTC, FCC and other government sticks get waved at tech
• Lizard Squad Finn who hacked the Vastaamo therapy chain gets sentenced
• And much, much more.

This week’s sponsor is Zero Networks, who make a network micro-segmentation product that is actually usable. Zero Networks CEO Benny Lakunishok joins us to talk through why firewalling everything everywhere is finally workable.

* You’ll forgive us for being… a tad sceptical.

In this edition of Snake Oilers we’ll be hearing from:

• Push Security: A browser plugin-based security company that combats identity-based attacks. (Much more compelling that it sounds in this description.)
• Knocknoc: The tool Risky Business uses to protect our own applications and services. (Restrict network/port access to users who are authenticated via SSO.)
• iVerify: Mobile security and threat hunting for iOS and Android. (Caught Pegasus in the wild!)

In this special edition of the Risky Business podcast Patrick Gray chats with former Facebook CSO Alex Stamos and founding CISA director Chris Krebs about sovereignty and technology.

China and Russia are doing their level best to yeet American tech from their supply chains – hardware, software and cloud services. They’ll be rebuilding these supply chains – for government systems, at least – from components that they have complete visibility into, and control over.

Meanwhile, America’s government faces different supply chain challenges. It has a supply chain that won’t be weaponised against it by its adversaries, but it lacks the same sort of visibility and control that its adversaries will eventually achieve over their supply chains. So where does this leave the west? Where does it leave China and Russia?
