Behavioral transparency – the patterns within.

President Biden's Cyber Executive Order includes provision for a software bill of materials in government contracts. It's a critical and necessary first measure for protecting the software supply chain. To defend against cyber attacks like the ones that affected SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline, organizations also need transparency about the way the software in their supply chain behaves–how, and with whom, that software engages in and outside of their networks. In this episode of CyberWire-X, we explore how behavior transparency can give organizations an advantage by distinguishing between expected noise and indications of compromise..Guest and CyberWire Podcast Partner Caleb Barlow shares his insights with the CyberWire's Rick Howard, and Ben Higgins and Ted Driggs from sponsor ExtraHop offer their thoughts to the CyberWire's Dave Bittner.

China's influence grows through Digital Silk Road Initiative.

Guest Charity Wright, Cyber Threat Intelligence Expert in Recorded Future's Insikt Group, joins Dave to discuss her research "China’s Digital Colonialism: Espionage and Repression Along the Digital Silk Road". Through the Digital Silk Road Initiative (DSR), announced in 2015, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is building an expansive global data infrastructure and exporting surveillance technologies to dictators and illiberal regimes throughout the developing world, in some cases trading technology for access to sensitive user data and facial recognition intelligence. Domestically, China uses this type of technology to assert authority over its citizens, censor the media, quell protests, and systematically oppress religious minorities. Now, over 80 countries are enabled to do the same with Chinese surveillance technology.
