Our companies CTO (a person whose entire career has been this one company) has decided we are going against the grain. Security issues in code are no longer the burden of those writing the code. This stalls velocity. Those teams tasked with code security will fix the code themselves when security issues are found.

When he received opposition, he mentioned that he understood that none of the tech industry does it this way but it hasn't been tried before.

He is also doing the same thing for infrastructure security and I have to say I am kind of pumped for the change. Your infrastructure some how comes to life with bad security configuration despite the guardrails , its going to get modified. It breaks? Can't stall velocity people.

I just had a dev team whose lovely product is actively being used in spam and malware attacks yell at me for not having a solution in hand when I alerted them to the problem before customers started complaining.

They literally have a site where someone can upload whatever the hell they want to, which gets a URL with a GUID that they can capture by just viewing the source for the page. The public IP is showing up everywhere on threat intel lists, rightly so, and customers are now not able to hit the site.

Not sure if this is the best spot to ask, but I unfortunately have several services that my users are currently using a shared username and password for. None of these services use SSO, and several of them look like they were coded back when Geocities was still cool. Thankfully all of them use form login, instead of the ancient pop up auth box. None of them do a catchpa either, which might help some.

Is there a way to get some SSO-style "click link to sign into service" system in place for these websites? Ideally the user would go to our sharepoint site, see the table of useful links, click on a link, and via the magic of some 3rd party service, is redirected to the site already signed in.

Today a member of one of our accounts payable teams, which has been stung multiple times by compromised vendor payment rerouting, mentioned that she avoided something weird the other day. See, a vendor emailed asking to change from us sending a check to ACH. The vendor got weirdly aggressive when it didn't happen enough, so AP person went to the vendor's public website, compared the address on the ACH to all available addresses for the company, and found that none matched. She immediately called our Project Manager who works with the vendor and told him to call the vendor at a number he had for them before the whole thing started and verbally figure out what was going on. Crisis averted in a way that (more or less) followed the policy I wrote for them the last time they gave away six figures.

In november, I spoke to a finance person whose only job is to pay PO's, tell me she has never questioned a po that has crossed her desk. She probably pays more than 100m in po's in a given year. When he statement was brought it up in conversation to her leaders, they didn't flinch.

Thankfully, we aren't that big. When our vendors don't get paid (like someone got into their email environment and rerouted payment), they angrily call us and let us know.
Not to say we don't have a fake invoice problem, but I'm still training finance to look for that.

At this point , the apathy shown leads to me to only two reasonable conclusions. There really is no financial benefit to care or this is just common embezzlement that every company maintains because this is the normal csuite grift.

These finance folks are well paid, educated people. Their jobs (especially at accounts payable) seems to be no more complex than basic data entry. :bighow:

It must be the first one. At $Job-2 I had hired a consultancy to write up some documentation about how to do something tricky with our firewall and the DMZ. They invoiced us before turning over the documentation. Accounts Payable cut them a $2750 check. To nobody's surprise, we never got that documentation. Given that my boss was micromanaging me to keep going back to nitpick and chisel at the contract I don't blame them.

Unironically yes. If a c suite wants thousands of dollars in gift cards to expense, we advise to confirm the requesting method or address, it is assumed to be for a conference or something. I'm sure a lot doesn't get checked and gets approved with the same momentum.

Remember the Uber expenses leak?

Huh, my office just gave us all business 1Password accounts with the option to link to a personal account and 4 invites to a family plan. Probably a good thing since they also just bumped our minimum password length from 8 to 15. I'm already pretty much moved over to Bitwarden, but only a free account so far. Is there anything 1P does in paid features that is particularly awesome or unique to them? My only hesitation is that I don't want to get my whole family over on premium 1Password and then either I leave my current job or they just cancel their business plan, which would freeze my family plan until started paying for everything myself :homebrew:

Still bet most people are just going to write down some bullshit on a PostIt note stuck under their keyboards or something.

If you've got a password store that generates passwords randomly for you, it just adds a bit of extra entropy which isn't really a bad thing.

The five passwords you should have memorized (for FDE, offline offsite backup FDE, password store, and your username and system passwords) should all be passphrase-protected keyfiles with arbitrary length based on how fast the CPU can generate a number of iterations each time the key is regenerated.

I seem to recall that a couple things (health data regulation audits maybe?) still mandate password complexity. Yes, they need to update their understanding of mathematics.
