Episodes

Incident Response

11:11 Systems Director of Product Market Intelligence Brian Knudtson is joined by guests Jason Carrier, Richard Kenyan, and Christian Mohn for a conversation about the keys to an effective Incident Response plan. They discuss the importance of good communications, how to handle cloud providers, and some of the best and worst examples. This communication needs to be intentional and, once communication paths are defined and tested, the plan should be iterated on constantly.

Private Cloud

11:11 Systems Director of Product Market Intelligence Brian Knudtson is joined by guests Vince Wood and Asaf Blubshtein for a conversation about the security implications of private cloud infrastructure. They discuss the inherent security of having your own cloud, how it contrasts with public cloud, and if community cloud can be a good middle ground. It’s not hard to be secure in any cloud if you plan ahead and know your business needs.

Penetration Testing

11:11 Systems Director of Product Market Intelligence Brian Knudtson is joined by guests Martin Edwards, Mike Spanbauer, and Nico Stein for a conversation about the whys and hows of Penetration testing. We discuss how to prioritize pentesting in your own organization, how to properly run tests in someone else’s cloud without getting yourself into trouble, and how to find a good pentesting firm. Make sure you’re not relying on any random provider or any single test.

Detection and Response

11:11 Systems Director of Product Market Intelligence Brian Knudtson is joined by guests Chris Ray, Amanda Berlin, and Steve Sims for a conversation about detection and response tools. They discuss all the permutations of detect and response tools, what’s necessary for defense in depth, and how much is really just Marketing hype. Define your requirements and you too can become a savvy booth-to-booth hopper who will strategically improve your business’ defenses.
