1. Understanding Web Application Client-Side Risk – Matt McGuirk – ESW #276
Web applications have a new and dangerous security gap which requires attention: client-side security. The code and content that a web application delivers into a web browser is a ripe attack surface and requires different consideration, tools, and knowledge than required by traditional web application security. This segment will explore what client-side security is, why client-side attacks are so dangerous, and what options are available to defend ourselves from this new threat.
Segment Resources: "Magecart 101" - a courseware-style overview of the problem for security practioners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4al8idAE_M

2. Salesforce’s Journey Towards Complete Customer MFA – Ian Glazer – ESW #276
In the Autumn of 2019, Salesforce started on an ambitious journey - to require all of their customers to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) as of February 2022. The journey required the collaboration of every product line and every business function within Salesforce. And the journey potentially required every single one of Salesforce’s customer to deploy new technology and to change all of their user’s behavior. Clearly this would be no simple journey, but it was one with massive rewards for everyone involved.
Join Ian Glazer as he discusses the impetus for Salesforce’s MFA push, the challenges of such a large scale endeavor, some of the setbacks and victories along the way, and, most importantly, what you can take from Salesforce’s journey towards complete customer MFA adoption and apply it in your own organization.

- 23. TRENDS: Bad news: The cybersecurity skills crisis is about to get even worse"Cybersecurity firm Trellix commissioned a survey of 1,000 cybersecurity professionals globally and found that 30% are planning to change professions within two or more years." This is a decent sample size. While surveys are difficult and unreliable in the best of times, the question was well worded and does trouble me a bit. One issue is that it didn't account for soon-to-be-retirees. The biggest thing I'd want to see is the cross section of time-in-industry across this 30%. Are we losing new people? Industry veterans? Even losses across time-in-industry?
