episode 174: What is a Canary?
Summary:
Tyron Kemp Presales Engineer at Thinkst Canary joined me to discuss what is a canary. More specifically Thinkst Canaries which is one of the most useful and simple to use tools in the security space. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of more companies using the tool. You drop it in an environment and if you get people scanning or touching it alerts the people that can respond. It’s as simple as that.
Episode Highlights:
What is a canary?
How are canaries used?
How Thinkst contributed to the community through free tools like Log4j discovery
How do canaries get implemented?
What’s ahead for Thinkst?
How AI will impact canaries
