Episode Introduction

Welcome to another thrilling episode of the Redefining Society Podcast, hosted by Marco Ciappelli. Today, we dive deep into the future of privacy, identity, and technology. Joined by Fatemeh Fannizadeh, Chief Legal Officer of the Swarm Foundation, and Sean Martin, we explore the potential of decentralized data storage, blockchain technology, and how it could redefine our society's approach to privacy.

Imagine a world where privacy is not a luxury but a fundamental right, where our personal information is secure, and we have control over how it's used. This might seem like a distant dream, but with the advent of decentralized technologies like blockchain, we might be closer than you think. The Swarm Foundation is working tirelessly to develop a decentralized data storage and transfer layer, aiming to reshape the way we interact with the web.

But the road to a decentralized future is not without its challenges. The intersection of technology, ethics, and philosophy has never been more critical. As we delve into the implications of artificial intelligence and privacy, we are faced with the question: can we truly reclaim our privacy in an increasingly digital world?

The answer to this question lies in the balance between centralization and decentralization. As Fatemeh points out, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and the ideal scenario is having a multitude of options to choose from, allowing individuals to opt-in and out of systems that best serve their needs. In this context, the role of legislation and regulation is pivotal, ensuring the safe development and integration of new technologies into our society.

This episode will challenge you to think about the possibilities of a decentralized future and the potential consequences of the choices we make today. Can we build a world where privacy is not only protected but cherished? How will the integration of blockchain technology into our everyday lives change the way we think about identity and personal data?

Join us for an insightful conversation that will leave you contemplating the future of privacy, identity, and the impact of technology on our society. Don't miss this episode of the Redefining Society Podcast, and be sure to share your thoughts, subscribe to the podcast, and join the conversation as we redefine society together.

Episode Notes

Explore the importance of inspiring young minds in tech, the challenges faced in connecting kids to the world of cybersecurity, and how making personal connections can make all the difference.

The conversation revolves around the importance of inspiring children, specifically girls, to pursue careers in technology and cybersecurity. The discussion highlights the critical time frame of capturing their interest by fourth grade, the development of proprietary curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school levels, and the search for corporate sponsorship partners to scale the program. The conversation reveals that one of the challenges faced is providing ongoing access to resources and mentorship for continued skill development, requiring buy-in from schools and teachers.

The conversation explores how to spark interest in cybersecurity among kids, comparing it to a game of cops and robbers. By using simple concepts like hiding a computer and protecting it with a firewall, Alyssa and Maril aim to ignite curiosity and foster a sense of responsibility in protecting digital assets. They also discuss the different ways individuals can help the mission, from sharing and spreading awareness to volunteering their skills for content development and program execution.

This episode also explores the challenges faced when interacting with vendors in the tech industry. The speakers emphasize the importance of personal connections and focusing on the 'why' instead of the 'how' when engaging with potential customers. They share their experiences walking through the Expo hall at RSA Conference, highlighting the qualities that draw them towards particular vendors and the importance of establishing genuine connections.

The guest this week is Dr Ron Ross,  Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.  He currently leads the NIST System Security Engineering Project (SSE) The jumping off point for this episode are two of his special publications-

- SP 810-160 Volume 1 (updated Nov 22) , ‘Engineering Trustworthy Systems’ which describes a basis for establishing principles, concepts, activities & tasks for engineering trustworthy secure systems.

-  SP 810-160 Volume 2 – ‘Developing Cyber-Resilient Systems: A Systems Security Engineering Approach’ which focuses on cyber resiliency engineering

Key quotes:

"We live and die by information technology, whether that's a classic I.T. system, whether it's an operational technology like a power plant, SCADA system, part of the power grid, whether it's an I.O.T. device. The common denominator on all of these systems is that they're driven by software and firmware, and a lot of that code is not as trustworthy as it needs to be. So given that that's the deck that we've been dealt, how do we deal with that on a day-to-day basis? And that was really the driving force behind the two volumes of 800-160."

"The more information you have about the susceptibility of your system to these specific threats or vulnerabilities, and you can take those off the table, then that's always a good thing to do. Things like cyber-hygiene, I call it the basic blocking and tackling. And you know, if you can take 80% of the attacks off the table, you don't ever stop the attacks but that then still leaves the other 20%, and that's where cyber resiliency has to step up. But definitely with AI and machine learning our ability to understand threats and what they can do and how we can stop them is going to increase by orders of magnitude. But in complex systems, even that order of magnitude improvement is never going to be enough. And that leads us to the rest of our discussion today."

 "We've kind of come to the conclusion that sophisticated adversaries -  I'm not talking about the ones that we can stop with cyber hygiene, the 80%, but I'm talking about the 10-20% on the upper end -  what happens when they get through your initial lines of defences, which are characterized by penetration resistance? Well now the bad guys are inside the house. Well, what if they came in the front door and then every room in your house there was a vault or a safe? That would be analogous to a security domain for each room in your house. And if you have the ability to add whatever safeguards and countermeasures you think are needed for that particular domain, assuming some of your valuables are more important than others, then you can tailor those controls and those safeguards to the specific criticality of the data or the valuables that you would like to and we're seeing those kinds of approaches now."

 "It's not just about one aspect or one safeguard or one strategy. This is a multi-dimensional strategy with lots of different moving parts that are discussed in our cyber resiliency guideline, and are actually executed in a good engineering process that gives consumers a lot better hope of being able to operate those systems under attack and having a system that they have a confidence that they can recover and restore that system, even if it's in a degraded, debilitated state, they can get back to some sense of normal operations and not have the entire business or mission go under.
