Mike Burgess is the director general of ASIO. But the thing about Mike is he’s actually a cybersecurity guy. He joined ASD, Australia’s NSA, back in 1995 when it was still the Defence Signals Directorate. He was there for 18 years before he bounced out to the private sector for a while to work as the CISO for Australia’s largest telco, Telstra. In 2017 he returned to ASD to run it, and in 2019 he was appointed director general of ASIO.

Back in April, Burgess made a series of comments on the topic of encrypted messaging during a Press Club speech in Canberra. Our right to privacy, he said, is not absolute, and he implied that if certain providers didn’t start helping Australian authorities out a little more, he’d use some of the provisions in Australia’s Assistance and Access bill to force them to provide access to certain content.

So I reached out to organise this interview to get some more detail from him about exactly what sort of cooperation he’s seeking and why.

In this Soap Box edition of Risky Business host Patrick Gray talks to Knocknoc CEO Adam Pointon about how to easily rein in attack surface by glueing your single sign-on service to your network controls. Do your Palo Alto and Fortinet devices really need to be discoverable by ransomware crews? Does your file transfer appliance need to be open to the whole world? What about your SSH and RDP? Your Citrix? Your (gasp) Exchange Online servers?? You can do a lot with IP allowlisting and simple Identity Aware Proxies (IAPs) to minimise your exposure. Knocknoc is a bit of a “Risky Business special”, too. Pat helped Knocknoc to raise a seed round through Decibel Partners where he’s a founder advisor. He also serves on Knocknoc’s board of directors.

In this SoapBox edition of the show Patrick Gray chats to Fletcher Heisler, the CEO of open-source identity provider Authentik. The whole idea of Authentik is you can take control of an essential IT and security function: identity. Because Authentik is open source it’s extremely flexible, and if you’re running it yourself, you get to decide where your IDP should sit in your architecture. You can run it on prem if you’re an emergency call centre or you’re operating an airgapped network, or you can spin it up in your cloud environment if you’re a typical enterprise. Fletcher talks through the reasons Authentik users are decoupling themselves from the major SaaS Identity Providers, and the flexibility that comes from being able to assemble exactly what you need.
