As cyber threats become more AI-powered, attacks continue to rise. Threats can arise from all areas of a company's IT infrastructure, however most attacks utilize a domain name to infiltrate systems. How secure is your domain ecosystem? Ihab Shraim, Chief Technology Offider at CSC Digital Brand Services, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why domain security is a fundamental blind spot in corporate cybersecurity programs. Ihab will discuss his team's research finding that 67% of Forbes Global 2000 companies have implemented fewer than half of recommended domain security measures. He will also outline the key domain security practices that teams should implement to protect their organization from the risk of domain attacks.

Finding flaws has always been a focus of appsec. And now with open source projects and open weight models orgs have modern tools to review code and conduct pentests. Rishi Sharma describes the motivation behind creating a platform of LLM-driven security tools and the effective ways to keep the tools in scope, on budget, and for engineering teams. We talk about how prompts influence LLM activity, as well as the external constraints to keep the LLMs on task. And even if finding flaws is a major focus of appsec, its goal should be delivering secure software and systems. We touch on some of the ways to keep bugs from creeping back into software and why it's more important to care about vuln classes than vuln counts.

Interview 1: Robin Macfarlane from RRMac Associats The Mattress Money Principle: What a 50-Year Veteran Knows About System Fragility In this interview, Robin and Adrian discuss how technology has evolved over the past 50 years. Despite massive technological changes over the decades: the PC revolution, the Internet, smartphones, the Cloud, and now Generative AI - the majority of financial institutions still use mainframes and midrange machines. Why? We explore the reasons why older technology persists alongside the new and the lessons retiring technologists can pass on to new generations inheriting an increasingly diverse tech landscape. Interview 2 with Kyle Sandy from Logically Operational Clarity as the New Customer Experience Kyle Sandy joins Adrian to discuss how prioritizing resilience affects how organizations should plan for incident response. In the past, security teams were focused on prevention and limiting breach damage. Today, boards want to know how long it will take to recover operations. The interview wraps up with a discussion of the right and wrong way to handle a breach and the three most important things every company must get right in order to handle an incident well. Interview 3 with Todd Thiemann from Omdia AI Agents and Identity Security: How Enterprises Are Rewriting the Rules Todd joins ESW with some eye-opening survey insights on the topic of IAM for AI agents. While cybersecurity conversations about internal AI use often revolve around the SOC and security operations, Omdia surveyed identity professionals for a more holistic enterprise perspective. Unsurprisingly, AI agent use is as diverse as enterprise business units. The surprises are around where the budget comes from for these AI projects, and how authentication is handled.

There's already an increase in volume of security flaws found by LLMs. And orgs are already turning to LLMs to write code. So, what happens when orgs lean on LLMs to create patches for those security flaws? Keith Hoodlet gives an exclusive early look at his team's recent research into the success, quality, and failures of LLM-generated security patches. Notably, they saw scenarios across a spectrum from robust, effective patches to patches that changed the software's behavior to patches that introduced new vulns to patches that didn't even fix the original vuln while also introducing a new vuln. The research considers factors like quality and correctness of prompts, complexity of the target software, programming language, and expertise required to understand what a robust patch should look like. If you're going to spend tokens on fixing security flaws, you want a feedback loop that fixes them correctly -- not an infinite loop of new flaws creeping in with every LLM iteration. Watch for this research, its toolset, and data to be released on Thursday August 6th during Black Hat. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/asw-394

Orgs need to be able to use agents, MCPs, and LLMs in ways that don't lead to unexpected actions and undesirable outcomes. The OWASP Agent Security Regression Harness project is an approach for defining customizable scenarios and testing whether those systems fail against known security threats. Mert Saltimaz talks about the background of the project, how orgs can use it as they bring more LLMs into their environment, and how the project intends to grow. Importantly, we also talk about the security controls and designs that orgs can build around the systems and data that models interact with in addition to evaluating the security of the agents and agent harnesses themselves.

Segment 1 - Interview with O'Shea Bowens What do we really know about "AI Network Protocols"? Network security is about to get popular all over again. Generative AI caused a disruptive explosion across all of tech and every company's roadmap. The move from chatbots to AI agents doubled down on that disruption. Now agents need to talk to each other? Boom: we have MCP. A2A. Universal Commerce Protocol. General purpose and specialized protocols for agent communication. What does this look like from the network perspective, though? O'Shea Bowen joins us to answer this question, and he thinks the results are interesting enough to spark a resurgence of interest in network security tooling.

America has lived through technological and economic upheaval before. Farm workers moved to factories. Factory workers moved into services. New industries replaced old ones. Productivity rose. Living standards improved. But are we ready for the greatest disruption in American history? Ben Gilliland, author of the upcoming book Breaking the Compact, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why business leaders need to be prepared for the upcoming AI disruption. The impact of AI, which has not fully materialized, goes far beyond security and job displacement. It will impact our economy, our privacy, and our way of life. The closest recent warning is the "China shock," the period of rapidly increasing import competition that followed China's integration into the global trading system. AI will dwarf that.

Interview with Keith Hollender, CEO and Co-Founder of Arcova Why AI Security Is Becoming an Execution Problem, Not Just a Governance Problem As enterprises move from AI experimentation to adoption at scale, security leaders are under pressure to enable innovation without introducing unmanaged risk. The challenge is no longer whether organizations should pursue AI, but how they can govern it, secure it, and operationalize it in ways that stand up to real-world business and threat conditions. In this conversation, Keith Hollender discusses what Arcova is seeing across enterprise environments as organizations work to connect cybersecurity, AI governance, resilience, and broader transformation priorities. He explores where companies are getting stuck, why traditional siloed approaches are falling short, and what it takes to move from strategy decks to secure execution. Keith also shares how Arcova's practitioner-led, relationship-driven model helps organizations turn complexity into clarity by embedding with client teams, solving urgent problems hands-on, and building capabilities designed to last. The conversation also covers Arcova's continued growth, including expansion into the Middle East, and what global demand signals reveal about the next phase of cybersecurity and AI consulting.

The TL;DR - defense contractors have been required to comply with CMMC controls for years, but self-attestation means that many probably haven't been meeting the requirements. Perhaps, rather than have tons of defense contractors fail the test, they just suspended the requirement for the test itself. I think Howard Holton nails it here when he says: "100,000 defense contractors needed third-party assessments. Roughly 100 authorized assessors exist. That's 1,000 assessments each, with the deadline in November." PCI already created a model that works for a scenario like this. If you're small, you self-assess. If you're big enough, an independent auditor comes to check you out once a year. I'm sure they were probably aware of this and chose not to go down that path for some reasons. I'm not aware of those reasons. What this means: Phase II is paused Phase I self-assessments still in place (note, however, that phase II existed, because self-attestation didn't work) NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance still required 60-day review aims to reform CMMC DoW opened an RFI for industry perspectives on what they should do CMMC characterized as a "compliance burden" and "red tape" False Claims Act and DOJ's cyber-fraud enforcement are still on the table More resources: CIO Davies' post on Twitter Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Kelly Loeffler's post A useful LinkedIn post that breaks down a lot of what this really means (and doesn't) Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, will AI eliminate more cybersecurity jobs than it creates?

While LLMs and agents are new to appsec and everyone else, a lot of AI security requirements translate to well-known API security requirements. Jeremy Snyder helps us frame the OWASP LLM Top 10 into five layers in order to help orgs understand and prioritize their attack surface. A lot of orgs don't have to deal with model-specific threats or building their own GPU architecture, but every org adopting LLMs and agents should be aware of how those agents are being invoked and the output those agents are producing. That awareness of input and output helps in identifying and mitigating prompt injection attacks, ensuring agents are working within their expected boundaries, and taming token budgets.

Human, non-human, and agentic AI identities no longer just coexist. They form an uncontrolled inheritance chain in which a human creates an agent, the agent spins up service principals, OAuth grants, and role assignments, and that whole chain keeps running long after the human changes roles or leaves. Most of these chains are being spawned by business users on low-code and enterprise AI platforms, outside traditional identity controls and largely invisible to security. In this segment, Radiant Logic CEO Dr. John Pritchard joins us to unpack why this is no longer a visibility problem. It is an observability problem. And it is shifting the center of gravity in identity security from authentication to authorization. Listeners will leave with a clearer view of where their current IAM, IGA, and NHI programs fall short, and a practical lens for governing the rapidly expanding population of AI agents already inside their environments.

Identiverse Interview with Cassie Christensen from Saviynt Everyone Wants an AI Assistant. Few Are Ready to Govern One Explore a growing reality many professionals can relate to: the appeal of using AI agents to handle the work that keeps piling up - from inbox management to research and logistics - and the governance challenges that quickly follow. The real barrier to scaling personal or enterprise AI agents isn't the technology itself, but defining clear roles, access boundaries, oversight, and lifecycle management. As organizations deploy more autonomous AI agents, the same identity frameworks used to govern workforce and non-employee identities must now evolve to manage AI-driven access before scale and risk outpace control.

Segment Resources AWS Bedrock agent permissions: what you need to lock down before you go live Making Enterprise AI Agents Accountable with Amir Ofek, CEO and Co-Founder of aizome Organizations looking to unlock the power of Enterprise AI Agents, and in a controlled and safe way at the speed of AI. Identity is at the heart of it. However, NHI Governance Is Not Enough for Enterprise AI Agents. The identity industry has responded to the rise of AI agents the same way it responds to every new identity challenge: extend existing frameworks. Map agents to human owners. Enforce least privilege. Govern them like non-human identities. It is a reasonable instinct. It is also insufficient in ways that matter enormously. Non-human identity security was built for a deterministic world - service accounts, API keys, bots. These identities do what they are configured to do. Their behavior is predictable enough that static governance models work. Enterprise AI agents are categorically different. Not in degree - in kind. They don't execute fixed instructions. They reason, plan, and adapt in response to context. Their scope shifts with every task. Their behavior at runtime can diverge significantly from anything true at provisioning time. Unlike any identity that came before them, they frequently change their intent, at a pace no governance model built for human movers or machine credentials was designed to handle. Wrapping them in the same framework you use for a service account isn't wrong. It's just insufficient in precisely the places where risk accumulates.

One of the biggest questions most executives ask is "Why does it still feel this hard when the talent is clearly there?" The answer, in almost every case, is not a people problem. It is an environment problem. And environment is something a leader can build. Greg Hoffman, President at Ascension Performance Group, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss his new book, Performance Through People, a leadership parable that shows a practical operating model for building the conditions where people perform at their highest level. It is written as a story, but it is built as a framework. Greg will discuss the core pillars of this framework, including: Leadership First Mindset Operational Clarity Capability Empowerment Impact Segment Resources: - https://a.co/d/053FuwYT - https://ascensionpg.com/articles/ In the leadership and communications segment, What the New Quantum Executive Orders Mean for Business Leaders, What I Learned About Burnout the Hard Way (and How to Actually Fix it, Mentorship Matters, and more!

SquidBleed reveals another vuln that's been lurking for decades, but its real lesson is in managing an attack surface. Regardless of whatever programming language you use, removing code is one of the best security steps you can take, followed by changing default configs to turn off uncommon features and ancient protocols. The Linux kernel's removal of strncpy is another example of managing attack surface by replacing a notoriously misused and ambiguous function with more specific versions that better match the developers intent. It was a six-year journey for the kernel, but one that should remove a class of vulns and, importantly, improve performance. Then it's on to agents with a discussion of the newly released OWASP AISVS and yet another example of evaluating LLMs as code reviewers. Agentic AI Has an Identity Problem AI agents are already running inside enterprise environments, operating on credentials, API tokens, and cloud roles that most security teams have never inventoried. When an agent acts autonomously across production systems, the security question is no longer just what it can do but who it is and whether that identity is governed at all. Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security, discusses why identity is the right lens for understanding agentic AI risk and what practical steps security teams can take now.

So how do you secure workflows that involve humans using AI to access sensitive data, and do it at machine speed and scale? David breaks down the challenges and discusses actual implementations of IAM for AI to explain how to solve them.

There have been a LOT of stories on this, but this is the most comprehensive and enlightening. A few more are linked below. This is relevant to security, because heavier AI use appears to be linked to a much higher occurrence of availability and security issues.
