We're launching Canaries in the Wild, a podcast about the untold wins teams are getting from deception technology.
Canaries and honeypots have some of the best ROI stories in security, but nobody's talking about them. We're changing that. We've lined up security practitioners and leaders who are actually deploying this tech in production to share what's actually working, what isn't, the attacks they caught that would've gone unnoticed, and the lessons they've learnt from deploying at scale.
Episode 1: Didier Vandenbroeck
Our first episode features Didier Vandenbroeck, VP of Security at Oleria and former red team leader at Salesforce. With 25 years in security spanning both offense and defense, Didier brings a perspective you don't often hear. Tune in to hear Didier share his experiences, including:
Why canaries were an immediate win at Oleria
Didier deployed canaries from day one across AWS, Okta, laptops, and databases at Oleria. He walks us through the decision to start early, and why the time investment was minimal compared to the security gains.
Getting caught by deception while on offense
During Salesforce's acquisition of Slack, Didier's red team was caught within weeks by canaries. He shares what that felt like from the attacker's perspective and the psychological impact it had on subsequent operations.
The reality of deploying at scale
He covers the ease of canary deployment, the internal value beyond red team testing (including alerts from curious engineers), and the critical importance of an assume breach mindset.
