    The PSW crew discusses tips, tricks, and traps for using AI and LLMs. We discuss a wide range of AI-related topics, including how to utilize AI tools for writing, coding, data analysis, website design, and more! Some key takeaways include: AI has rapidly shifted from novelty to an essential tool in security and other fields. Paid AI versions offer significant advantages for professionals. Legal, ethical, and copyright questions around AI-generated content remain unresolved. Human skills, critical thinking, communication, and adaptability are more important than ever. AI is a powerful assistant, but not a replacement for expertise, creativity, or judgment. Fact-checking AI outputs and understanding bias are critical in the age of generative AI. This episode offers a comprehensive, practical, and philosophical look at how AI is reshaping security, education, and society, providing both optimism and caution for the future.

    Sounil Yu joins us to kick things off with AI defenses: Enterprise AI search tools like Copilot for Microsoft 365 lack the in-depth access controls required to ensure that query responses align with the user's need-to-know boundaries. Without proper controls, these tools accelerate the discovery of improperly secured sensitive files within the organization. Knostic's solution ensures that enterprise data is safeguarded without slowing down innovation. By automating the detection and remediation of LLM data exposure, Knostic helps organizations mitigate the security, privacy, and compliance risks associated with AI chatbots and enterprise search tools. In the security news: The controversial pick for National Cyber Director, the not-so-controversial pick to lead CISA, complete with funding cuts, the controversial ESP32 backdoor that is not a backdoor but hidden features, Dark Storm takes down X, interesting use cases for LoRa, using AI to get your dream job, details on the biggest crypto heist in history, an EDR bypass and a 404 error, slipping through the cracks in CVSS, old school vulnerability disclosure in 2025, Rayhunter, a pen test that should not have been, JTAG and your Flipper Zero, a Linux webcam was used for what now?, and "Spatial-Domain Wireless Jamming with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces"!

    How do we patch the right things? - Josh Bressers - PSW #840

    Every week here on the show we talk about vulnerabilities and exploits. Typically we recommend that organizations remediate these vulnerabilities in some way. But how? And more importantly, which ones? Some tools we have to help us are actually not all that helpful at time, such as: Mitre Att&ck - Don't get me wrong, this is a great project and Adam and team is doing a great job. However, its not a complete picture as we can't possibly know about every attack vector (or can we?). People seem to think if they cover everything in the framework they will be secure. You can't cover everything in the framework because each technique can be utilized by an attack in a hundred different ways. CVSS - Anyone can apply a score, but who is correct? Good that we have a way to score things, but then people will just use this as a basis for what they patch and what they do not. Also, chaining vulnerabilities is a thing, but we seem to lack any way to assign a score to multiple vulnerabilities at once (different from a technique). Also, some things don't get a CVE, how are you tracking, assessing risk, and patching these? CISA KEV - Again, love the project and Tod is doing amazing work. However, what about things that do not get a CVE? Also, how do you track every incident of an attacker doing something in the wild? Also, there is frequency, just because something got exploited once, does that mean you need to patch it right away? How are we tracking how often something is exploited as it is not just a binary "yes, its exploited" or "no, it is not". EPSS - I do like the concept and Wade and Jay are doing amazing work. However, there seems to be a "gut reaction" thing going on where we do see things being exploited, but the EPSS score is low. How can we get better at predicting? We certainly have enough data, but are we collecting the right data to support a model that can tell us what the attackers will do next?
