Security news, interviews, how-to technical segments. For security professionals by security professionals. We Hack Naked.

You survived the click—but now the click has evolved. In Part 2, the crew follows phishing and ransomware down the rabbit hole into double extortion, initial access brokers, cyber insurance drama, and the unsettling rise of agentic AI that can click, run scripts, and make bad decisions for you. The conversation spans ransomware economics, why paying criminals is a terrible plan with no guarantees, and how AI is turning social engineering into a whole new wild west.

Using OWASP SAMM to assess and improve compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is an excellent strategy, as SAMM provides a framework for secure development practices such as secure by design principles and handling vulns. Segment Resources: https://owaspsamm.org/ https://cybersecuritycoalition.be/resource/a-strategic-approach-to-product-security-with-owasp-samm/ As genAI becomes a more popular tool in software engineering, the definition of "secure coding" is changing. This session explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way developers learn, apply, and scale secure coding practices — and how new risks emerge when machines start generating the code themselves. We'll dive into the dual challenge of securing both human-written and AI-assisted code, discuss how enterprises can validate AI outputs against existing security standards, and highlight practical steps teams can take to build resilience into the entire development pipeline. Join us as we look ahead to the convergence of secure software engineering and AI security — where trust, transparency, and tooling will define the future of code safety. Segment Resources: https://manicode.com/ai/ Understand the history of threat modeling with Adam Shostack. Learn how threat modeling has evolved with the Four Question Framework and can work in your organizations in the wake of the AI revolution. Whether you're launching a formal Security Champions program or still figuring out where to start, there's one truth every security leader needs to hear: You already have allies in your org -- they're just waiting to be activated. In this session, we'll explore how identifying and empowering your internal advocates is the fastest, most sustainable way to drive security culture change. These are your early adopters: the developers, engineers, and team leads who already "get it," even if their title doesn't say "security." We'll unpack: Why you need help from people outside the security org to actually be effective Where to find your natural allies (hint: it starts with listening, not preaching) How to support and energize those allies so they influence the majority What behavioral science tells us about spreading change across an organization Segment Resources: Security Champion Success Guide: https://securitychampionsuccessguide.org/ Related interviews/podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPb14P8f4T1ITv3p3Y3XtKsyEAA8W526h How to measure success and impact of culture change and champions: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-soft-skills-hard-data-measuring-success-security-yhmse/ Global Community of Champions sign up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyXPAMf9M8idpDMwO4p2h5Ng8I0ffofZuY70BbmgCZNPUS5Q/viewform This interview is sponsored by the OWASP GenAI Security Project.

Interview Segment: Tony Kelly Illuminating Data Blind Spots As data sprawls across clouds and collaboration tools, shadow data and fragmented controls have become some of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. In this segment, we'll unpack how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) helps organizations regain visibility and control over their most sensitive assets. Our guest will break down how DSPM differs from adjacent technologies like DLP, CSPM, and DSP, and how it integrates into broader Zero Trust and cloud security strategies. We'll also explore how compliance and regulatory pressures are shaping the next evolution of the DSPM market—and what security leaders should be doing now to prepare.

Topic Segment: We've got passkeys, now what? Over this year on this podcast, we've talked a lot about infostealers. Passkeys are a clear solution to implementing phishing and theft-resistant authentication, but what about all these infostealers stealing OAuth keys and refresh tokens? As long as session hijacking is as simple as moving a cookie from one machine to another, securing authentication seems like solving only half the problem. Locking the front door, but leaving a side door unlocked. After doing some research, it appears that there has been some work on this front, including a few standards that have been introduced: DBSC (Device Bound Session Credentials) for browsers DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) for OAuth applications We'll address a few key questions in this segment: 1. how do these new standards help stop token theft? 2. how broadly have they been adopted?

Some want more technical details and question the report's conclusions. How automated was it, really? I found it odd that Anthropic's CEO was on 60 minutes the same week, talking about how dangerous AI is (which is his company's primary and only product). I think one of the more interesting things to discuss is how Anthropic has based its identity and brand on AI safety. While so many other SaaS companies appear to be doing the bare minimum to stop attacks against their customers, Anthropic is putting significant resources into testing for future threats and discovering active attacks.
