This is the Hacker Culture Roundtable discussion from the Security Weekly Christmas podcast marathon and features almost all of our hosts and special guests. Hacking is a term used to describe the activity of modifying a product or procedure to alter its normal function, or to fix a problem. The term purportedly originated in the 1960s, when it was used to describe the activities of certain MIT model train enthusiasts who modified the operation of their model trains. They discovered ways to change certain functions without re-engineering the entire device. These curious individuals went on to work with early computer systems where they applied their curiosity and resourcefulness to learning and changing the computer code that was used in early programs. To the general public, a "hack" became known as a clever way to fix a problem with a product, or an easy way to improve its function.

It was once said that if Security and Compliance were in a relationship the status would be "It's Complicated". This discussion will aim to help you understand this relationship and how it can be beneficial or a mere distraction to an organization's overall security posture. - Define "Secure" and "Compliant". - Does compliance merely raise awareness about security shortcomings? - What is the relationship between Security and Compliance? - Being Secure and being Compliant are mere points in time, how can we best develop a process to ensure we are always striving to a secure and compliant state? - How does Security impact and/or influence Compliance? - How does Compliance impact and/or influence Security? - How do you balance these extremes: "We will be Secure and ignore compliance" vs. "We will be compliant but ignore security"

It's often said that attackers need only to get it right once, where defenders have to be right all of the time. Those of us who have worked in a security role as a defender know we don't always get it right, in fact, there are often many exposures in our defenses. This segment will aim to help defenders learn tactics and techniques that are effective and try to answer some of the following questions: - How do you prioritize your defensive efforts? - How do you best detect attacks? - How do you best protect against attacks? - We always say "patch your stuff" but how often should you patch? Which systems should you patch? - What techniques work best to defend against email phishing? - How do you provide a "good enough" level of security for your Active Directory? - What are the fundamentals of defense? How do they differ per environment and organization? - How do you get management to buy-in to your security plans and spending?
