All Our Devices and Privacy on the Web - Deepika Gajaria, Scott Scheferman - ESW #234

Against the ubiquitous backdrop of Zero Trust initiatives, we have all come to accept the motto of "Verify, then trust". Yet, here we are building an entire stack of Zero Trust enabled technologies, upon a broken implicit-trust foundation. Nowhere is this risk more apparent, than at the device and firmware level. Indeed this is why both nation-state and criminal actors have converged upon a strategy that combines supply chain attack dynamics, with readily exploitable devices. This allows them to impart maximum impact against victim organizations, and even those victim's downstream partners and customers. In order to address this evolving threat, organizations must take back security control of their devices, and stop trusting the fox that has quite frankly, become the hen house.

Data privacy and Web security teams are converging across enterprises and we are seeing more Privacy use cases like cookie banner consent and limiting data sharing (vendors like Facebook, Google etc. are capturing sensitive user data, accessing cameras, microphones, geolocation etc.) via security policies, under the security teams purview. At Tala we offer a Privacy scan that gives enterprises a full view of which vendors have access to sensitive data and how this data is being shared. This in turn helps set the right security controls in place.
