Summary: <p>In today's episode, I'm excited to be joined in the studio by <a href="https://twitter.com/nathanhunstad" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Nathan Hunstad</a>, Director of Security at <a href="https://www.code42.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Code42</a>. Nathan and I had a great chat about Code42's new security offering called <a href="https://www.code42.com/features/forensic-file-search" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Code42 Forensic File Search</a>, which helps IT and security teams figure out where files are located across their enterprise - even if the endpoints are offline. This functionality lends itself to a number of interesting use cases and helps answer questions such as:</p> <ul> <li> <p>"Does known malware have, or has it ever had, a foothold in our environment?"</p> </li> <li> <p>"Has a particular crypto-mining agent been installed on our employees’ computers? Who has it now?"</p> </li> <li> <p>"What endpoints have or had copies of our company’s most sensitive files?"</p> </li> <li> <p>"What files did an employee download or delete in the months before resigning?"</p> </li> <li> <p>"What non-sanctioned collaboration applications are present in our environment?"</p> </li> </ul><p>After today's podcast, be sure to check out <a href="https://blog.code42.com/7-steps-to-real-time-file-exfiltration-detection-video/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=ent_security_ffs_engage_ww&utm_content=none_none_none" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">this great video</a> of Nathan demonstrating the power of Code42 Forensic File Search live!</p> <p>Also talked about in today's episode:</p> <ul> <li>Implementing host-based firewalls - here's a great <a href="https://medium.com/@cryps1s/endpoint-isolation-with-the-windows-firewall-462a795f4cfb" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">blog</a> and <a href="https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/New-Zealand-2016/M377" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">video</a> on it</li> </ul><p>I want to thank Code42 for their support of the 7 Minute Security podcast. It's a pleasure to work together with them to help companies be more secure!</p>
