My talk at #CYBSEC16 on abusing users of WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal with a Man In The Contacts attack: securingapps.com/blog/ManInT…
Making security by design lovable for humans to keep AI agents on track

This is the way:
"Observing such direct payoff from previous hardening work was even more rewarding than finding and fixing more bugs"

Let's try something else with bug bounty programs before deciding to suspend them

A paradigm change cannot be addressed by minor iterations, even with many of those:
"The traditional response is to add more scanning, more automation, more patching"
"You can't close that gap by reacting faster to something that's already too fast"

One of the biggest impacts of AI that goes kind of unnoticed is that we’re about to see an explosion of poorly built applications.
Specifically, applications built completely by AI with no thought of security whatsoever.

My big takeaways from this discussion:
1. It’s largely that many applicants don’t have the skills to do the work
2. Few companies are looking to train anyone
3. Recruiting/HR is a big part of the problem because they are a non-expert and inefficient middleman to the process
4. Another big part of the problem is the entire process around hiring, interviews and how little time hiring managers have to do it right— assuming that even know what that is
So to simplify and exaggerate it—most applicants are under-skilled, and the entire ecosystem around hiring is wasteful and broken.
While brainstorming on how to best combine in my daily work genuine security/confidentiality with meaningful business impact, becandid.tech was born.
More than excited by this mission to foster mutual and honest feedback, starting with the salary expectations use case.

Given Microsoft has pretty large security teams, and a newfound focus on security:
How did Recall pass security review - if it even did? Details coming out make it seem like while building this cool-sounding AI feature, there was no emphasis on common-sense security and privacy.

22 years have passed and making "security a top priority in practice" is still an unsolved problem:

Imagine a bank got robbed and now they are blaming the cleaning lady who allegedly forgot to close a window.
This is effectively IT security's reaction to ransomware incidents after somebody clicked on a link.
Also: We had a blast at #SCS23 yesterday! The Human Factor is key.
