If you have to ditch your entire appsec strategy because you expect 2026 to bring more vulns more quickly, then you probably didn't have a good strategy in the first place. Rob Allen shares how the mentality of "assume breach" doesn't have to be a defeatist attitude and can instead be a way to change a catastrophic breach into a more contained one. We also talk about proactive security and what an "avoid breach" attitude could look like, including how to apply the macro lessons of default deny and network isolation to writing secure code.

Interview with Daniel dos Santos: Post-Quantum Cryptography and the Risks No One Is Talking About Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is quickly shifting from theory to inevitability. In this segment, Daniel dos Santos, VP of Research at Forescout, explains why PQC isn't the most immediate threat today—but still demands early attention as standards solidify and timelines accelerate. The discussion highlights overlooked risks beyond encrypted traffic, including digital signatures, firmware integrity, and blockchain systems. Daniel also emphasizes the real challenge: migration. While client-side adoption is already underway, organizations face major hurdles identifying and upgrading servers, legacy systems, and unmanaged assets like IoT and OT. The bottom line: PQC migration is unavoidable. Starting early—especially with crypto inventory and planning—will make the transition far less painful. RSAC Interview: Multi-Channel Impersonation: Why Legacy Controls Are Failing As social engineering expands past just email to include text messages, chat apps, social platforms, and live video calls, traditional point solutions are struggling to keep up. In this segment, Bobby Ford explains how AI-powered impersonation and deepfake-enabled campaigns are exposing critical gaps in legacy defenses, and why organizations must evolve toward a unified social engineering defense platform that connects Digital Risk Management and Human Risk Management. He'll outline what modern security programs need: real-time cross-channel visibility, behavior-driven detection, and strategies designed around how people actually communicate and make decisions today. Visit https://securityweekly.com/doppelrsac to learn how Doppel helps organizations defend against AI-powered impersonation, phishing, and multi-channel social engineering threats with a modern Human Risk Management approach. RSAC Interview: OT: Segmented Today, Breached Tomorrow As the worlds of IT and OT converge, traditional network segmentation falls short, exposing risks in the critical environments that keep energy flowing and shelves stocked. Conventional security tools fail to identify these gaps, with serious repercussions for operators. At runZero, we empower defenders to win by default through comprehensive discovery, rapid detection of critical exposures, and unique segmentation analysis that does not depend on span ports, credentials, or on-device agents. runZero provides real-time insights into even the most sensitive environments — quickly, safely, and securely.

Attackers are increasingly weaponizing frontier models to accelerate the entire attack lifecycle, with current and emerging models reducing the time and expertise needed to start disruptive attacks. As offensive capabilities become more automated and agentic, organizations will need security programs that are equally autonomous, coordinated and continuous. But where do you start? Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner, Cybersecurity Services at IBM, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss autonomous security, the next frontier of cybersecurity services. IBM recently announced IBM Autonomous Security, a separate service that uses AI agents to analyze software exposures and runtime environments. Mark will discuss the fears and hype of AI and how agentic AI agents can identify paths in an enterprise security environment that can be exploited, improve cyber hygiene, and enforce security policies. As frontier models, like Mythos, accelerate attacks, security programs need to respond with speed, at scale, to drive the right business outcomes.

Rethinking Security from the OS Up in the Age of AI Karen Heart discusses a file-system–first approach to security, arguing that most modern attacks—including ransomware and supply chain compromises—succeed because they inherit user permissions and operate inside overly trusted system structures. She explains how limiting file access, socket (network) access, and privilege escalation at the operating system level can reduce entire classes of attacks. Rather than relying on reactive detection, her approach emphasizes immutable, allowlisted controls embedded close to the kernel layer, designed to prevent both data exfiltration and malicious code execution at the source. The conversation also explores how AI agents and contractors expand the attack surface, reinforcing the need for strict isolation, backup protection, and deterministic system boundaries. Segment Resources: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Zero-Day-Secure/Karen-Heart/9781968865078 ​The New Era of DNS Resilience: Breaking down the newly finalized NIST SP 800-81 Craig Sanderson from Infoblox will dive into the newly finalized NIST SP 800-81 as it marks a pivotal shift in DNS security, emphasizing resilience through modernized practices tailored for today's distributed, cloud-driven, and threat-laden environments.

Why have security awareness training programs failed? Maybe we need to understand human psychology. Humans don't like tricks, or to be shamed, or negative emotions. Humans want to be rewarded, but yet our training and phishing programs are not built for reward. Maybe it's time to rethink cyber literacy. Craig Taylor, CEO and Co-founder at CyberHoot, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why we need to shift our Cyber Literacy industry from shame and punishment towards gamification, positive reinforcement, and small rewards.

Red team exercises set goals to see if a particular outcome can be accomplished through a simulated attack, but the ultimate outcome should be educating the org about how to improve tools and processes that make attacks more difficult to succeed. Gwyddon "Data" Owen shares his experience building a red team, creating an exercise, and leveraging the results to improve security. And while the adoption of LLMs will accelerate a red team's activities, there are still plenty of foundational security controls that orgs can establish that would require a red team to be more than just fast, but fast and very careful. Coding Agents Are Getting More Cautious, But Not Safer A new study finds that while frontier AI coding models are hallucinating less than they did a year ago, they still preserve a significant amount of avoidable software risk when left ungrounded. Sonatype's research shows that connecting these models to real-time software intelligence dramatically improves remediation quality and reduces critical and high-severity vulnerability exposure by 60–70%. The takeaway is clear: safer AI-assisted development will depend not just on better models, but on grounding them in accurate, current dependency and vulnerability data. This segment is sponsored by Sonatype. Read the study: https://securityweekly.com/sonatypersac How We Achieve Agentic Outcomes in CyberSecurity: The "Do-It-For-Me" Mobile Defense If you look at deepfakes, synthetic identity, social engineering, and new malware variants coming to market, it seems like attackers have a first-mover advantage in using AI. The volume and variety of threats are growing faster than the current cyber stack can address. Against this backdrop, organizations are moving away from "do-it-yourself" delivery models (more tools, more alerts, more headcount) to "do-it-for-me" agentic AI delivery models (using platforms that unify data, execute policy, and automate outcomes). The emphasis outside of cyber is on empowering the expert human-in-the-loop — so teams spend less time in the noise and more time delivering business outcomes.

The Missing Layer in Zero Trust: The Security Policy Control Plane Zero Trust has become the dominant security architecture for hybrid and cloud environments, but many organizations are discovering that deploying enforcement technologies alone does not deliver operational control. Firewalls, cloud security groups, and microsegmentation platforms enforce access decisions, yet the policies behind those controls are often fragmented, difficult to validate, and constantly changing. In this conversation, FireMon CEO Jody Brazil discusses why modern security architectures increasingly require a security policy control plane: a layer that continuously validates how policy is enforced across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation platforms. The discussion explores why policy drift occurs in real environments, how enforcement systems become difficult to coordinate at scale, and what organizations must do to ensure Zero Trust policies remain consistent as infrastructure evolves.

Cloning Attacker Tradecraft: Why AI Pentesting is Becoming Essential Enterprises ship code continuously, but most security validation still happens in snapshots. Novee CEO and co-founder Ido Geffen explains what "AI penetration testing" means, why it's different from automated scanning, and why it's becoming essential as attackers adopt AI to move faster. He breaks down what separates best-in-class AI pentesting: operator-like reasoning across real environments, validated exploitability, and the ability to uncover business logic flaws and multi-step attack chains. Ido covers the technology behind Novee's AI penetration tester: a proprietary LLM model, built independently of "frontier" LLMs (like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.), and consistently outperforming them at browser exploitation tests. Finally, he shares what buyers should demand in a live evaluation and how continuous retesting closes the loop after fixes ship. This segment is sponsored by Novee Security.

Autonomous AI agents are creating a new attack surface for enterprise security teams, particularly as organizations deploy agents for operational tasks such as customer support automation, data analysis, and incident response. How can we align our Zero Trust initiatives to also address the emerging Agentic AI risks? John Bruggeman, Consulting CISO at CBTS, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how your Zero Trust readiness can also prepare you for Agentic AI deployments. Organizations are granting agents access to sensitive systems without the security controls typically required for other Zero Trust initiatives. John will help educate CISOs on what they should be doing now to get ahead of the risk, including: Agent inventory Data security controls, including data model poisoning Agent identity controls, including authorization and access levels Infrastructure security controls, including MCP servers Why More Technology Hasn't Made Us More Secure Despite massive investment in cybersecurity tools, organizations remain vulnerable because their existing technologies are often misconfigured, poorly integrated, and disconnected from real operational risk. This keynote argues that complexity, human decision‑making, and gaps in execution—not a lack of products—are what truly empower attackers, especially as modern environments like cloud and SaaS expand the attack surface. Real security comes from simplifying, aligning, and expertly orchestrating what organizations already own, shifting the focus from buying tools to achieving disciplined, resilient outcomes grounded in breach reality.

Security problems aren't changing very much even though security teams are. We catch up on the implications of the Claude Code source leak, the very human lessons from the axios NPM compromise, and what secure design looks like when it involves agents, humans, or both. AppSec has always celebrated interesting and impactful vulns. And LLMs are now a favored tool for finding flaws. We shouldn't forget the success and effectiveness of fuzzers like OSS-Fuzz, which has improved security for over 1,000 projects and found over 50,000 bugs. But we can't ignore the ease of prompting an agent to go find -- and exploit -- a vuln when the UX and overhead of doing so is hardly more than writing some markdown. The SDLC Blind Spot: Why Breaches Start with Identity, Not Code Developers have access to source code, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure — and attackers know it. Target lost 860GB of source code through a single compromised credential. Recruitment fraud campaigns have pivoted from a compromised developer to cloud admin in under 10 minutes. As agents join human developers, contractors, and service accounts in the SDLC, the attack surface is expanding faster than static security tools can track. Security teams need real-time visibility beyond code and into who has access and what they're actually doing. This segment is sponsored by Apiiro.

Most organizations don't fail because of technology. They fail because decision authority is unclear in the first critical minutes. "Being careful" is often interpreted as waiting for certainty, but that delay creates exposure. How should executives make decisions under pressure? Ann Marie van den Hurk, Founder at Mind The Gap Advisory, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how executive paralysis leads to business damage. Ann Marie will discuss: Where Paralysis Actually Comes From What "Being Careful" Looks Like in Practice Why the First 20 Minutes Matter How Paralysis Becomes Business Damage Why Existing Plans Don't Hold What Actually Fixes It Then, we rebroadcast two interviews from RSAC 2026. Autonomous Intelligence and the Future of Digital Trust AI agents are no longer experimental tools — they are becoming autonomous participants in enterprise infrastructure. Acting independently, making decisions at machine speed, and interacting directly with sensitive systems, these agents fundamentally reshape the trust model that underpins modern organizations. As AI becomes embedded across operations, security must evolve from perimeter defense to continuous, identity-driven trust. This conversation explores what it means to build a resilient trust architecture for autonomous systems — one that ensures verifiable identity, constrained authority, accountability, and governance at scale. We'll examine how enterprises can balance innovation with control, prevent misuse or spoofed agents, and prepare for a future defined by machine-to-machine interactions. At stake is not just cybersecurity, but the integrity of digital trust itself. This segment is sponsored by DigiCert. Visit https://securityweekly.com/digicertrsac to learn more about them! Know Your AI Agents Through Visibility, Control, and Accountability AI agents are rapidly embedding into core enterprise workflows with broad access to sensitive systems and the ability to act autonomously, creating new challenges for security leaders tasked with enabling innovation while maintaining control.

In the AI era, cybersecurity is undergoing a fundamental shift as AI agents transform both the speed and scale of attacks. In this interview, Gibb Witham, President and Chief Financial Officer of Hack The Box, explains why organizations must move beyond assumed AI capability toward measurable, validated cyber readiness for both humans and AI systems. Drawing on real-world benchmarks, agentic AI testing, and hands-on training, Witham outlines how security teams can safely adopt AI by proving performance under pressure.

The future of secure software is going through a mix of skills expected of humans and skills files created for LLMs. We might even posit that appsec as a discipline will fade (and that might not even be a bad thing!). Keith Hoodlet describes the skills he was looking for in building teams of security researchers and why there's still an emphasis on the ability to learn about and understand how software is built. But figuring out what skills will get you hired and what skills are valuable to invest in still feels daunting to new grads and others entering the security industry. We discuss where the role of appsec seems to be heading and a few of the security and software fundamentals that can help you follow that direction.

The Identity Crisis of Agentic AI Identity security is being stretched between legacy infrastructure that was never built to be secure and rapidly emerging AI agents and non-human identities that organizations are quickly adopting. As AI accelerates, identity risk grows alongside it, making agentic security fundamentally an identity challenge—because the more access AI has, the greater both its power and potential risk. In this session, Ron Rasin explores how past gaps in areas like Active Directory and machine identities created today's blind spots, and why identity must now act as the control plane for AI-driven enterprises, with real-time enforcement before access is granted. He also highlights new innovations and partnerships enabling embedded identity controls across human, non-human, and AI identities, emphasizing that at machine speed, reactive security is no longer enough.

Privileged by Design: AI Agents and the New Identity Risk to Production Systems At RSAC this year, the AI conversation is getting more practical. Less "look what agents can do" and more "who's actually in control when an autonomous system can take real actions across business apps and infrastructure." The Moltbook breach and the growing attention on OpenClaw-style agent vulnerabilities put real weight behind that question because they show how quickly agent ecosystems can scale past oversight. Today we're talking with Shashwath, CEO of P0 Security, about why identity and authorization are the quiet enablers of modern AI, where teams are losing control as non-human identities explode and what security leaders can do to keep innovation moving without turning access sprawl into enterprise risk.

The Chief Insecurity Officer Interview with Alexandre Sieira: The state of TPCRM is shifting The gold standard for third party cyber risk management has long been the humble questionnaire. While we've seen security rating services companies generate scores by scanning a company's external resources. Both approaches are widely considered inaccurate for either creating trust relationships or determining the true risk of doing business with a third party. Every analysis of this problem comes to the same conclusion: without internal data about the state of systems and the security program, TPCRM can't improve substantially. Most this believe this to be an impossible problem: third parties would never share data this sensitive with a customer and first parties assume the same. What if they did? That's exactly the premise behind Tenchi Security, and Alexandre joins us to talk about how they've accomplished the 'impossible' in Brazil and aim to expand their success to the US.
