Joshua Corman is executive in residence for public safety & resilience at The Institute for Security and Technology (IST), a non-profit think tank based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is also co-leader of a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) community working group for SBOM on-ramps & adoption. Previously, he was vice president of cybersecurity strategy for Claroty, an IoT security company; chief strategist on the CISA COVID task force; director of the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative; and CTO at security software vendor Sonatype.
In August, Corman delivered a presentation at CISA's SBOM-a-Rama event warning that time is running out to more effectively protect critical infrastructure systems such as the water and power supply that rely on potentially vulnerable software to operate. Corman emphasized the urgent need to more effectively identify vulnerabilities and defend against attacks such as China's Volt Typhoon nation-state threat group. An initiative Corman is leading at IST under the working title UnDisruptable27 now looks to address these threats.
"We live in glass houses," he said in this episode's interview. "And people are about to start throwing rocks."
