Big data in transportation and logistics, tort reform, insurance rates, autonomous vehicles, and avoiding lawsuits, are just some of the topics discussed in this week’s episode. James welcomes friend and Lockton VP, Tom Ptacek, and Tom brings his 40 years of experience in the insurance industry to discuss a plethora of topics within the transportation and logistics space.They discuss the driver shortage issue, and what trucking companies can do to help attract top talent. How companies should view big data, and what kind of trends are emerging in this space, plus how the ‘little’ guys can take advantage of the data that top companies are gathering.They also talk about how the pandemic has affected the supply chain, and why we’re seeing a sudden shortage in shipping containers. To watch the video episode, visit: https://youtu.be/JaZhfa25YQMThere’s so much incredible information in this episode. This episode is also sponsored by Sand Shark Oilfield Services.

Emerging Trends in Transportation and Logistics With Tom Ptacek

Dave Goldsmith

Thomas Ptacek and Dave Goldsmith present the results of Matasano Security's research into the resilience of Enterprise Agents: the most dangerous programs you've never heard of, responsible for over $2B a year in product revenue, running on the most critical enterprise servers from app servers to mainframes.		WHY THIS TALK?		   1. Enterprise Agents are their own worms, preinstalled for the convenience of attackers. We found critical, show-stopping vulnerabilities in every system we looked at.	   2. It's a whirlwind tour of the landscape of internal security. We reversed proprietary binaries, deciphered custom protocols, and cracked encryption algorithms.	   3. It's a call to arms. Applications running behind the firewall aren't getting audited. While vulnerability research talent fights over the scraps of Windows OS security, hundreds of thousands of machines remain vulnerable to attacks most people thought were eliminated in the early '90s     		For the past 12 months, Matasano Security has conducted a research project into the security of internal applications. Our theory? That any code which doesn't run in front of a firewall, exposed to Internet hackers, is unaudited, wide open-fertile ground for ever-adapting attackers. Our findings? Tens of applications reversed, proprietary protocols deciphered, "state-of-the-art" XOR encryption algorithms cracked, and it's worse than we thought. Perhaps more than any other software, save the operating system itself, insecure systems management applications pose a grave threat to enterprise security. They're the Agobot that your administrators installed for you.		Internal security is a nightmare, and things are going to get worse before they get horrible.     "
