It's like all this faggot does is podcasts

n this episode of Get It Started, Get It Done, the Banyan Security podcast covering the security industry and beyond, our host and Banyan’s Chief Security Officer Den Jones speaks with Elvis Chan, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of FBI San Francisco’s Cyber Branch.

Den and Elvis discuss the importance of the relationship between the FBI and the private sector both through programs including the FBI’s SISO Academy, and through the relationships private sector security professions can and should form with their local FBI field office. We hope you enjoy Den’s discussion with Elvis Chan.

Intro/outro:

Hello, and welcome to, Get It Started. Get It Done, the Banyan Security Podcast, covering the security industry and beyond. In this episode, our Host and Banyan’s Chief Security Officer, Den Jones, speaks with Elvis Chan, assistant special agent in charge of FBI San Francisco’s, Cyber Branch.

Intro/outro:

Den and Elvis discuss the importance of the relationship between the FBI and the private sector, both through programs including the FBI’s CISO Academy and through the relationships private sector security professionals can and should form with their local FBI field office. We hope you enjoy Den’s discussion with Elvis Chan.

Den Jones:

Okay. Hey everyone. So welcome to Get It Started. Get It Done. Banyan Security’s newest adventure into podcasting. I’m the host Den Jones. And every episode we bring in some fascinating guests. And I’m delighted for this episode to bring in Elvis Chan, one of my great friends from the FBI. So Hey Elvis, how are you sir?

Elvis Chan:

Staying good. Thanks for having me on Den, it’s going to be a fun conversation today.

Den Jones:

Yeah. I’m looking forward to it. I always to like ask guests, so we met a number of years ago now, but do you remember and can you share the recollection of how we met or anything strange during that initial meeting?

Elvis Chan:

Yeah. I feel like, gosh, when did we meet? Was it maybe 2016 or 2017? Right around then. I used to work at another company and I do a lot of outreach with the private sector, which I know we’re going to talk about a lot. But I was meeting with some security folks, information security folks and folks from your general counsel’s office, just to talk about cyber incident response and what could they expect from the FBI, what could they expect from the US government.

Elvis Chan:

And so then I started talking to you and I recognized that accent right away as being a Scottish accent. And I wanted to confirm, “Hey, are you from Scotland?” And he said, “Yeah.” And I was like, “Well, I spent three months of my life there.” This was pre-bureau. I used to be an engineer in the semiconductor industry.

Elvis Chan:

And in Scotland, there used to be this thing called the Silicon Glen. It was going to be the next version of the Silicon Valley.And so I worked for a company, NEC Electronics. And I know Motorola was out there. I know Intel was out there. And so actually, Silicon Glen was in a town in right near Livingston. And you said, “Elvis, that’s where I’m from. I’m from Livingston.”

Elvis Chan:

And I’m like, “Yeah, I would never have known it.” But the reason Livingston was big in our lives is because there was The Home Depot there. And there was other stores, but it was anchored by The Home Depot. And then we started reminiscing about that. Remember Den?

>It's like all this faggot does is podcasts

Den Jones:

Yeah. And it is funny. They always had this slogan, “Life is for Livingston.” And Livingston’s one of those new towns. And it’s in interest now because almost all of those companies have since pulled out. Well, in the ’80s and ’90s then, it was huge. I mean, there was so many of those factories.

Den Jones:

And then those all to support things like the mobile market, early computers and things like that. So, I used to work in a company called SHIN-ETSU HANDOTAI. That was my first IT job. And it was a fascinating process. Fascinating process.

Den Jones:

And so you were there for three months and you survived the Scottish weather, the Scottish people and the food, right?

Elvis Chan:

Yeah. I mean, the haggis, someone slipped it into a meat pie. And so I thought I was eating a meat pie. And I said, “There’s something off about this pie. What’s going on with this?” And, “That’s a haggis pie Elvis.” And I’m like, “Oh.” And let me tell you, my body was telling me it did not that haggis pie I ate, for the next day or so.

Den Jones:

That’s funny. I miss good haggis. But probably maybe the one you got wasn’t the best haggis pie. So, awesome. So great to have you on the show. I’d love to hear, so we get to meet every now and again, there’s so many things going on in the world and so many geopolitical things that has a huge influence on the cyber things as well.

Den Jones:

So I’d love, why don’t you start off by sharing, for those who don’t know who the FBI is, what the charter, the vision, mission, those things. Why don’t you bring FBI to light for us?

Elvis Chan:

Okay. That sounds good. Well, hopefully, the good news is Dick Wolf on CBS, I think he has three or four FBI shows. I think most people are pretty familiar with the FBI. But for those of you who haven’t seen The Silence of the Lambs or any of the other shows, Federal Bureau of Investigation, we are the primary national level law enforcement agency. That’s one of our hats.

Elvis Chan:

The other hat that we wear is that we’re the domestic security intelligence service. That sounds a little scary, but post 9/11, that was really a big deal for us. Our job is to keep the nation safe and we do that by working with all of the other intelligence community agencies within the United States, as well as with state local and tribal law enforcement.

Elvis Chan:

So really the bread and butter of our job is I, the investigations. So anything that you think can be investigated. Anything, whether it’s interstate boundaries being crossed or overseas boundaries being crossed, probably there’s a federal statute that allows the FBI to investigate it.

Den Jones:

Awesome. Awesome. And, so what inspired you to join? But you said, when you were in Livingston, you were doing a whole different job. So what inspired you to join the FBI?

Elvis Chan:

Yeah. So like I said, I used to be an engineer. And I would say on a scale of 1 to 10, that’s like a seven out of 10. So I majored in chemical engineering. I worked in the semiconductor industry. I used to make computer chips. That’s a really good living. And so, living very comfortably.

Elvis Chan:

But I’d always yearn for something more. I’d always yearn for public service, but being first generation born in the United States, both my folks immigrated here from China,they always wanted something better for me. And so there was a few acceptable jobs for a first generation born American. And engineer, doctor, attorney, accountant, that was the acceptable occupations. And so I picked engineerin

>both my folks immigrated here from China

this origin story is sounding a bit fake and gay.

Elvis Chan:

And I really enjoyed that. One of my buddies who I worked with at the company I was at, his game plan was always to join The Bureau. But the way it works is, you need to have at least three years of job experience before you can apply to be an FBI agent. So he did that. So actually, he worked four years with me. We became really close friends.

Elvis Chan:

He said, “Elvis, I am putting in for the FBI.” And I said, “You are crazy.” And he got in and he’s calling me from the FBI academy in Quantico, which you were able to visit with me. Maybe we’ll talk about that later. But he said, “Elvis,” he’s calling me on the phone, he’s like, “you would love this. We’re shooting guns. We’re kicking down doors. I’m learn about the constitution. This is awesome.”

Elvis Chan:

And so it re-lit the fire of wanting to do public service. I talked to my wife about it. And I said, “Hey, if I want to get in, this is my only chance because there’s an age maximum.” You can be a maximum of 36 years old before are allowed to join The Bureau. You have to be younger than that.

Elvis Chan:

And so I was running up against it. And I guess you could say I had my midlife crisis early. I applied. And a year later, almost 12 months to the day, I was at the FBI academy in Quantico getting sworn in. And since then, it’s just been a crazy ride.

Den Jones:

That’s awesome. And so going through the academy and stuff, and then even into your role now, I’ve met quite a few people in the FBI. And we can talk about the CISO Academy and stuff. As I met people, they’re always like, “Elvis.” “Elvis.” “He’s the guy.” “He’s the guy.”

Den Jones:

So what I think of for me with my reputation, I’ve got a reputation. But I think everybody I spoke to or everyone that spoke about who Elvis was, you have this bigger than life reputation. And I don’t think it’s the name. So what do you put down? What’s one of the biggest things you’d attribute to your success?

Elvis Chan:

So, this comes back to my leadership philosophy. I guess we’re getting meta pretty quickly here. So I know a lot of people talk about having a servant leader philosophy, but I really, really believe in that. So my job at the end of the day, whether I was in private sector or now in the government.Number one, serve my people.“How can I help the people?” And then with that, serve the mission. “What is the mission?”

Elvis Chan:

Back then in the private sector, I had to make so many wafer chips. We had to get so many wafers and the throughput and everything. But really the FBI’s mission, so much cooler. My mission is, “Protect the American people and uphold the constitution.” And that’s a mission that pretty much anyone can get behind. But how do I do that?

Elvis Chan:

And just by serving the people, “Whether I’m a line level employee, what can I do to help out.” “How can I run this investigation better? How can I help the victims of this company that were just hacked?”

Elvis Chan:

So really, that has been my model. How can I do this? And I would say that like you, when I get something started, I get it done. I have really good follow through. So I guess that’s another skill.

Elvis Chan:

But really, having the humility to know that, “I am just a very small cog in a large machine. And just trying my best to lead from where I am standing.”

Elvis Chan:

And whether it’s leading by mastering whatever skill I need to or running whatever investigation or supervising people, it’s really that. It’s like, “How can I lead from the place I’m at?” I’m not looking, “What’s my next rung on the ladder that I want to get up to.” It’s really focusing on, “What do I need to do here? How can I be impactful? How can I help the people?”

Elvis Chan:

And I think that is what has carried me, is, I’ve never had an agenda. I’ve never wanted to be the deputy director of the FBI. I joined this organization because I wanted to make a positive impact. And I think it shows.

>>17871394

>>both my folks immigrated here from China

Den Jones:

Awesome. Yeah, no, that’s brilliant. And then the partnership between the FBI and the private sector. So I’m aware more and more about that relationship and partnership. But you want to explain a little bit about, what’s the FBI’s goal and mission with that?

Den Jones:

And then how would you think that benefits private sector and how do you think private sector could get more involved?

Elvis Chan:

Yeah, so that’s a great question. I think people have this myth or this conception in their head that the FBI and the US government, we’re like big brother. We see everything, we know everything. And that is completely not true. I think you’ve seen different statistics and surveys that say, within the United States, the vast majority, I think over 85% of all critical infrastructure is controlled by private entities. Either private entities or public entities that are not the US government.

Elvis Chan:

And so our job is to defend the critical infrastructure, the critical sector industries within the United States. But we don’t own most of the property. Who does? The private sector and the public sector. And so we need to be engaged with them to be able to do our job.

Elvis Chan:

We need to be engaged with you Den, to be able to do our jobs, because, at Banyan Security, and you know this better than most, you are a vendor and you get put into these companies. And you can see what’s going on. I don’t know if people know this, but me at the FBI, I can’t see what’s going on at the company. Banyan Security can see a lot better what’s going on at this company.

Elvis Chan:

Now, I will know better maybe what the Russian spies are doing or what cyber criminals are doing, through the course of our investigations. But I’m looking through a straw. And we only have one piece of the puzzle and really industry has the other piece of the puzzle. So when you frame it like that, it totally makes sense for me to be able to get along and for me to develop relationships with all of these different companies.

Elvis Chan:

So, within the FBI, we have figured out who are the strategically important companies that we have to get along with?And pretty much, if you’re on a Fortune 500 Company or a Fortune 1000 Company, then you’ll know that, “I’m probably working at a company that the FBI needs to know and get along with.”

Elvis Chan:

And some people say, “Well Elvis, I don’t work for any of those. But I’m like, “AHA, but are you a contractor? Are you a supplier for a fortune 1000 company?” And invariably, if the answer is yes, then we probably need to have a relationship with you.

Den Jones:

Yep. And, you and I, we first met during my days in Adobe. And then I left and went to Cisco. And I call you up straight away and I’m like, “Hey, Elvis, I’ve moved.” And then 18 months later, I joined Banyan as their CSO. And it’s like, “Hey, I’ve moved again.”

Den Jones:

And I’m not the person that really tries to move around companies so often. I mean, I was with Adobe for 19 years. So maybe that was longer than I anticipated. But my recent move here, and as you mentioned, Banyan, we have customers that are big household name customers. And while we might not be the biggest target, they very well will be.

Den Jones:

And I’d hate to think of people coming through Banyan to get to our customers, because that’s not the that’s not the plan. And then, so if a company wants to learn more about the partnership and wants to get involved, what do they need to do? How do they go find out that?

Elvis Chan:

That’s pretty easy. So, I mean, we hustle. I think you know, I hustle. I’m at a lot of different conferences and events. And so we’re typically there. You can reach out and come shake my hand and talk to me, that’s one way. You can go to fbi.gov.

Elvis Chan:

So we actually, you can do a speaker request form and ask for an FBI agent or analyst to come in and talk to your company about a variety of things, not just cybersecurity. That’s definitely another way.

Elvis Chan:

A third way I would say that’s really important is,we have an organization called InfraGard, which is the FBI’s, it’s a nonprofit organization. It’s a 501(c),but partners with the FBI where you can attend quarterly meetings, get FBI briefings and you can also get FBI reporting on a monthly basis. And so InfraGard, it’s spelled weird, it’s I-N-F-R-A-G-A-R-D.

Elvis Chan:

If you just Google that you can find and you can join to be a member. It’s really easy to be a member, only two requirements. Number one, you have to be a US citizen. And number two, you can’t have a criminal record. So fine upstanding listeners of this podcast will qualify for both of those.
