By Sean Martin

Guests: Katie Nickels | Fred Wilmot | Ryan Kovar
Host: Sean Martin

It took me a while to get the conversation with Katie Nickels and Fred Wilmot sorted so we could talk about all things MITRE ATT&CK. Fortunately, we found some time together in person in Las Vegas during Hacker Summer Camp. As a bonus, I also got the chance to meet Ryan Kovar who happened to be presenting on ATT&CK with Katie that smae week. Ryan joined us for the conversation as well.

Have a listen as we explore what MITRE ATT&CK is, what it’s for, who it’s for, how to get started with it, how to be successful with it, and what scenarios could be leveraged to learn from others’ successes and challenges.

Black Hat USA 2019 Event Coverage | A Conversation With Charity Wright

By Marco Ciappelli & Sean Martin

No doubt, we are living interesting times—full of incredible technological advancements and achievements. Yet, we still get to see the other side of the picture—cybercrime at its worst.

The dark web is peaking on a global scale. Last year, there were over 4 million users on TOR, and, with that, we are seeing some other “interesting” trends. It’s these trends which lead us to our second conversation with Charity—this time during Black Hat 2019.

Chats On The Road To Hacker Summer Camp 2019 | DEF CON 27 — Policymakers | A Conversation With Meg King and Beau Woods

By Marco Ciappelli & Sean Martin

Black and blue, and who knows which is which, and who is who?

It is a matter of perspective and a matter of time — and given the right knowledge, these usually change together. Don't they? What is at stake and what we are fighting for can change yesterday's foe into tomorrow's best ally. But what about today?

I believe that today in technology and infosec, we are at the crossroad where Sean and I have been waiting for a few years now. Exactly 4 years ago, when we founded ITSPmagazine, we did it because we wanted to have the conversation that media, politicians, business owners, technology experts, and politicians were not having yet - and, most still don't.
