With Q-day getting closer, regulatory guidance pushing firms to migrate to quantum security in the next five years, and an extensive remediation backlog waiting to be discovered, security leaders must start their quantum security migration today. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we discuss the quantum-safe journey using a framework for crypto-agility. In part 1, we define cryptographic agility, or crypto-agility for short, and why it's important. Crypto-agility is not just about transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography in the nimblest way possible, and it's not something that can be achieved merely by updating encryption algorithms and protocols. Instead, you need to adapt your organization's cryptographic architecture, automation, and governance to allow for greater control and flexibility. In part 2, we discuss a framework for discovery, prioritization, and remediation while keeping crypto-agility in mind. A quantum-safe journey requires: Inventory of Systems With Non-Quantum-Safe Algorithms And Protocols System Prioritization, Leading To A Migration Roadmap Remediation, Including Vendors And Partners Once a distant possibility, Q-Day is quickly approaching. Are you ready for 2030?

What happens when secure coding guidance goes stale? What happens LLMs write code from scratch? Mark Curphy walks us through his experience updating documentation for writing secure code in Go and recreating one of his own startups. One of the themes of this conversation is how important documentation is, whether it's intended for humans or for prompts to LLMs. Importantly, LLMs don't innovate on their own -- they rely on the data they're trained on. And that means there should be good authoritative sources for what secure code looks like. It also means that instructions to LLMs need to be clear and precise enough to produce something useful.

Interview with Jeremy Snyder from FireTail about AI Governance Death by a thousand cuts: the AI shadow IT problem I think the best description of the AI governance problem during this interview was the title of the award-winning movie, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Generative AI has been disrupting businesses, products, and vendor risk management for a few years now. FireTail is one of the companies trying to address this problem for enterprises, so we check in with Jeremy Snyder to see how things are going.

This episode is all about trust getting abused at scale. We start with Chinese-nexus operators pivoting fast onto Qatar using conflict lures and familiar tradecraft. Then we hit banking, because they deserve it: Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland customers seeing other people's transactions in-app, a straight confidentiality failure, not "someone hacked my phone". From there it's the Middle East conflict exposing what "cloud resilience" really means when the problem isn't cyber, it's physical disruption and dependency chains. Then Meta's takedown of 150,000 scam-linked accounts shows the fraud supply chain is still running hot, and the platforms are now part of the battleground whether they like it or not. The Microsoft story is the one to watch: a critical Excel bug that turns Copilot Agent into a zero-click data leak path. And the AI agent theme keeps going with Context7: attackers slipping instructions into "helpful" context and getting agents to do dumb, destructive things on their behalf. We finish with Stryker having the worst day with a major outage, disputed claims, and a reminder that if your management plane gets hit, you can lose the whole estate fast. Look at Intune. No hype. Just the stuff that actually breaks systems, me talking too fast, which to be honest 'slow' is why I turn most podcasts off. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/swn-563

AI has created a dilemma for security teams. Attackers are using AI to develop exploits to newly disclosed vulnerabilities faster than security teams can patch them. Security teams have not fully leveraged the capabilities of AI to autonomously prevent these attacks. Without a radical change in approach, organizations will be exposed to an exponentially increasing attack surface. How long can your organization tolerate being exploitable? Myke Lyons, CISO at Cribl, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why organizations need to embrace AI to understand the behavior of attacks to effectively prevent them. For decades, we've focused on the Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and have played whack-a-mole to try and patch them. Instead, we should focus on the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and leverage LLMs to understand the behavior of the attack. Once we understand the behaviors, we can implement preventative controls to minimize exposure. And yes, AI can also help us automate patching, when we're ready to trust it.

Interview with Anna Pham Breaking in with ClickFix: Anatomy of a modern endpoint attack Cybersecurity company Huntress just published a report on a new ClickFix variant they've discovered, which they've dubbed CrashFix. This technique was developed by KongTuke to serve as the primary lure within a new custom malicious browser extension also created by the group. In short, the team observed the threat actors using KongTuke's malicious browser extension to display a fake security warning, claiming the browser had "stopped abnormally" and prompting users to run a "scan" to remediate the threats. Upon "running the scan," the user is presented with a fake "Security issues detected" alert and instructed to manually "fix" the issue by opening the Windows Run dialog, pasting from their clipboard, and pressing Enter. The malicious extension silently copies a PowerShell command to the clipboard, disguised as a legitimate repair command. From there, they execute the malicious command. Segment Resources: BLOG - Dissecting CrashFix: KongTuke's New Toy Interview with David Zendzian Continuous compliance and real security lifecycle management Supply chain attacks are not just on the rise; attackers are learning from the past, making these attacks even more effective and dangerous than before. It was just over a month ago when the Shai-Hulud attack first impacted NPM packages, forcing enterprises around the world into lockdown. While only 187 packages were compromised in that initial incident, it served as a wake-up call for many: an accurate inventory of systems is good, but a clear, real-time Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for applications is non-negotiable. In this world of manifest based infrastructure and container based applications with (real) "devsecops", the dream of continuous upgrades of OS/Runtime/Stack/App and App Dependencies is very mature and there are solid examples of companies and federal entities managing this at scale without thousands of teams and people.

Interview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect The current state of OT security and business resilience In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk. Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends.

"It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much. Stocks recover, insurance covers the bulks of the losses, fines are paid, and lawsuits are settled. Most businesses can comfortably absorb the impact, so the threat of reputational harm or financial losses just aren't slowing them down. In the case of Ivanti, where the reputational harm was extreme, the company's companies continue to get hacked as critical vulnerabilities keep getting discovered in their products. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-02-19/vpn-used-by-us-government-failed-to-stop-china-state-sponsored-hackers In this topic segment, we don't aim to provide solutions to this problem, just the awareness that ethics, doing the right thing, and even signing the Secure by Design pledge don't seem to be enough to change vendor behavior when it comes to securing products.

Most organizations view security as a cost center, a "check-the-box" expense rather than a strategic investment. This mindset leads to chronic underfunding, reactive, panic-driven decision-making, and high staff turnover. It also hampers innovation, strategic initiatives, and customer trust. What if security was viewed as a business enabler, not a cost center? Elyse Gunn, CISO at Nasuni, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how to make security a business enabler, turning security from a cost center into a profit center.

A major premise of appsec is figuring out effective ways to answer the question, "What security flaws are in this code?" The nature of the question doesn't really change depending on who or what wrote the code. In other words, LLMs writing code really just means there's mode code to secure. So, what about using LLMs to find security flaws? Just how effective and efficient are they?

Quantum security has gone from being a theoretical idea filed away for some unknown future date to an urgent requirement driven by quantum computing advances and government and industry guidance. The thought of nation-state adversaries with a quantum computer that can conduct harvest-now-decrypt later attacks and forge digital signatures makes the threat more real than ever to executives, who have started to ask security leaders, "Are we quantum safe?" With Q-day estimates now within 10 years and moving ever closer — and with NIST deprecating existing asymmetric algorithm support in 2030 (and disallowing it entirely by 2035), as well as the increasing nation-state threat — what should security leaders be doing now? Sandy Carielli, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why technology leaders must work together to prepare for Q-Day. Addressing quantum security requirements is not just a job for the security team.
