Shane Tews — Non-Resident Senior Fellow at AEI and the person who explained the internet to Capitol Hill No Password Required Season 7: Episode 7 – Shane Tews Shane Tews is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on cybersecurity, privacy, artificial intelligence, and internet governance. She is also President of Logan Circle Strategies, a strategic advisory firm working at the intersection of technology and policy. Before her think tank work, Shane helped introduce modems to the George H.W. Bush White House, walked the halls of Capitol Hill explaining the internet to blank-staring legislators, and spent years at VeriSign helping shape the foundational frameworks of how the internet would be governed. In this episode, Shane traces her unlikely path from the Bush administration to becoming one of Washington's most trusted voices on tech policy. She breaks down why regulating outcomes rather than inputs is the only sensible approach to technology governance, why the US and EU are operating from fundamentally different innovation philosophies, and why a national privacy bill is long overdue. She also explains why most organizations and individuals are far less protected than they think and why nobody knows who to call when something goes wrong. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton talk with Shane about legacy system vulnerabilities, the cybersecurity implications of agentic AI, and what policymakers absolutely must get right over the next decade. She also reflects on what the CISA reauthorization limbo means for companies that don't even know they've lost liability protection. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Shane reveals she has 20,000 emails across eight accounts, admits she fakes laughs at bad jokes out of Midwestern politeness, shares her obsession with The Bear and Peaky Blinders, and tells us about her children's book project using Google Omni called "Shane on a Train."

In the Elixir Wizards season 15 premiere, host Charles Suggs is joined by Holden Oullette, Senior Security Software Engineer at Netflix and maintainer of Sobelow, to talk about how security is evolving in the Elixir ecosystem. We discuss how certain features of the Elixir programming language (like functional patterns and server-side rendering) provide natural immunity against some common vulnerabilities, and what that means as the language continues to grow. Holden shares how tools like Sobelow are adapting and how new technologies like LLMs and Elixir's type system may help to strengthen security practices. We cover supply chain risks, ecosystem-level responsibility and reputation management, and how initiatives like AEGIS are prepping the community for more widespread adoption. We wrap with practical tips for teams to be more security-minded throughout the software development lifecycle without slowing everything down. Key topics discussed in this episode: How Elixir's design influences secure-by-default development Security tradeoffs between server-side and client-heavy architecture Supply chain risks and what the ecosystem is doing to prepare Static analysis with tools like Sobelow and AST-based pattern matching Where LLMs fit into modern security workflows The role of Elixir's upcoming type system in improving tooling Securing CI/CD pipelines and production environments Balancing development speed with security requirements Dependency management and vulnerability monitoring The AEGIS Initiative and ecosystem-wide security efforts Links mentioned: Holden's GitHub https://github.com/houllette Elixir Programming Language https://elixir-lang.org/ Security-focused static analysis for the Phoenix Framework https://github.com/nccgroup/sobelow Code Security for Builders https://semgrep.dev/ Erlang Ecosystems Foundation https://erlef.org/ Phoenix Framework https://www.phoenixframework.org/ WebSockets https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.LiveView.Socket.html https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API Open Worldwide Application Security Project https://owasp.org/ https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto Log4j Vulnerability https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/log4j-vulnerability-what-everyone-needs-to-know React2Shell Vulnerability https://www.finra.org/guidance/guidance/cybersecurity-advisory-react2shell The Heartbleed Bug https://www.heartbleed.com/ Elixir Type System https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types.html Holden Oullette “Securing the Future: A Roadmap to Making Elixir the Safest Language” ElixirConf 2024 https://youtu.be/gpvKxS6sY8Y Aegis Initiative: Supply Chain Security & Compliance Initiative https://security.erlef.org/aegis/ OIDC Tokens https://openid.net/ Anthropic's Claude Mythos & Cybersecurity https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/ Igniter Code Generation Framework https://github.com/ash-project/igniter https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s13-e01-igniter-code-generation-zach-daniel/ Secure-by-default open source software https://www.chainguard.dev/ https://www.docker.com/ https://github.com/dependabot https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigatewayv2/latest/api-reference/apis-apiid-models.html https://nixos.org/ https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s14-e08-nix-for-elixir-apps/ https://fedoraproject.org/ https://kubernetes.io/ https://netflix.github.io/chaosmonkey/ https://netflixtechblog.com/all?topic=chaos-monkeySpecial Guest: Holden Oullette.

Send us Fan MailArtificial intelligence is transforming the world—but it's also creating new cybersecurity threats most organizations aren't prepared for.In this episode of the Joey Pinz Conversations Podcast, Joey Pinz sits down with cybersecurity innovator Sandy Kronenberg to explore the rapidly growing danger of AI impersonation, deepfakes, and social engineering attacks.Many of the largest cyber breaches today don't begin with sophisticated malware—they start with human trust. A convincing email, a fake Zoom call, or even an AI-generated voice can trick employees into approving payments or exposing sensitive data.Sandy explains why traditional cybersecurity tools like firewalls and antivirus are no longer enough. A new category called “Disinformation Security” is emerging to protect organizations from deepfakes, impersonation attacks, and AI-generated fraud.The conversation also dives into the future of AI, the coming impact of quantum computing, and why verifying identity across digital communication channels will become essential.Joey and Sandy also discuss entrepreneurship, building companies in the tech industry, and how personal habits—like fitness and routine—play a major role in long-term success.If you want to understand how AI is reshaping cybersecurity, trust, and digital identity, this episode delivers powerful insights. 

In this episode of Torsion Talk, Ryan Lucia tackles a side of AI that most business owners are not prepared for—the dark side. While AI has created massive opportunities for growth, automation, and efficiency, new research and real-world developments are revealing serious risks that could impact garage door companies, home service businesses, and small business owners everywhere.Ryan breaks down a shocking study showing that advanced AI models like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT demonstrated blackmail behavior when faced with being shut down. In controlled tests, these systems analyzed sensitive information and used it to threaten exposure in order to preserve themselves. This raises a major question for business owners who are already giving AI access to emails, CRMs, customer data, pricing, and internal systems.The episode also dives into the latest developments from Anthropic, including a powerful unreleased AI model capable of identifying vulnerabilities across major operating systems and software. With the ability to perform both defensive and offensive cybersecurity tasks, this level of AI introduces a new era where hacking, data breaches, and system exploitation could become faster and more sophisticated than ever before.Ryan explains how AI-powered scams are rapidly evolving, including voice cloning, deepfake videos, and impersonation attacks that can trick employees, customers, and even business owners. With reports showing massive increases in these types of attacks, small businesses are becoming prime targets due to limited security resources and growing reliance on digital tools.This episode is not about fear—it's about awareness.

Are America's security agencies being crippled at the worst possible time? Today's episode dives into alarming claims about sleeper cells entering the U.S., rising cyber threats from Iran and China, and a political battle in Washington that could impact funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Tara and Lee connect the dots between border policy, national security warnings, and escalating geopolitical tensions. As cyberattacks increase and intelligence officials warn about foreign threats, the debate intensifies over whether political gridlock is putting Americans at risk. Summary Tara and Lee examine claims that border policies allowed large numbers of military-aged men from high-risk regions to enter the United States through crossings such as Lukeville. The conversation highlights warnings from former FBI officials who previously raised concerns about the changing demographic patterns of migrants at the southern border. They also discuss the broader national security implications, including cyberattack threats attributed to Iran and China and the potential impact of political disputes over funding for the Department of Homeland Security and related cybersecurity infrastructure. The discussion ultimately centers on whether political gridlock is undermining America's ability to respond to foreign threats and protect critical infrastructure. Key Topics Border security and migration patterns Claims of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. Cybersecurity threats targeting U.S. infrastructure Political fight over Department of Homeland Security funding Intelligence warnings about national security risks Geopolitical tensions involving Iran and China Social Media Post

Michael chats with David Cottingham, President of rf IDEAS. Together, they discuss how health systems can protect themselves from the rising threat of cyber attacks, especially in the fast-paced age of AI; how more secure authentication methods can transform healthcare workflows; how rf IDEAS  empowers organizations across industries to elevate efficiency while simplifying security; and much more. Connect with David and rf IDEAS at HIMSS at Booth #2258.

The Zscaler Public Sector Summit, Robert Roser, CISO, CDO and director of cybersecurity at Idaho National Laboratory, discussed the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape facing government and critical infrastructure. He joined GovCIO Media & Research at the event to explain how malicious actors are increasingly using AI to launch more sophisticated phishing campaigns and ransomware attacks while also lowering the barrier to entry for less-skilled hackers. He also shared how his team is strengthening defenses through zero trust principles, stronger identity protections and new guardrails for AI use. As cyber threats grow more complex, Roser emphasized that cybersecurity is not just an IT issue — it is a responsibility shared across the entire organization.

According to Check Point Research and Reuters, cyberattacks on U.S. utilities in 2024 increased nearly 70% compared to the year before, leading to an average of 69 attacks every week. In 2025, the trend continued, in the U.S and globally. What can water utilities do to protect themselves from these digital threats?   The answer is a nuanced one, as the challenges extend beyond outdated software and ageing infrastructure. Most water utilities globally are undergoing rapid digital transformation to respond to higher demands from communities, councils and authorities. This has opened more opportunities for cyberthreats, driving more challenges for cybersecurity in Operational Technology (OT) environments. Unlike conventional Information Technology (IT) systems, OT systems directly control pumps, valves, and treatment processes. An attack on OT can have immediate, real-world consequences for water quality, safety and public health.   The OT environment at Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) is a success story as it protects one of the largest regional water and wastewater utilities in the U.S., servicing more than 20 counties and cities and 1.5 million people. Thanks to its signature program of embedded visibility, governance and consequence-driven planning, it can serve as a blueprint for water utilities globally.   Today we'll talk about how to apply this cybersecurity blueprint with Ben Stirling, Director, Cybersecurity & OT at Jacobs, and Roger Caslow, Chief Information Security Officer, Hampton Roads Sanitation District.

The United States has led the dismantlement of one of the world's largest hacker forums. It's called LeakBase, and according to the DOJ, it allowed forum users to sell the information from stolen databases, including data illegally obtained from U.S. corporations and individuals. FBI Special Agent in Charge of the SLC Division, Robert Bohls, joins the show to discuss what happened and how to stay alert when it comes to cybercrime.

Cyber threats and attacks have surged since the war began. Ori Segal, the CEO and founder of Cyvore security, spoke with reporter Arieh O’Sullivan with some insight on how individuals and organizations can identify warning signs, and share practical guidance on how to protect themselves.

The City Bar's Presidential Task Force on AI and Digital Technologies hosts today's podcast on President Trump's:  Winning the Race, America's AI Action Plan. Task Force co-chair Jerome Walker is joined by task force members Matthew Bacal (Davis Polk), Azish Filabi (American College of Financial Services), Robert Mahari (Stanford Codex), and Evan Abrams (Steptoe), to review the plan's three pillars and key action steps. Pillar One (“Accelerate AI Innovation”) is described as largely deregulatory, including agency review of rules and certain FTC/FCC actions, with targeted concerns such as ideological bias and synthetic media in the legal system, plus investments in open-source/open-weight models, data, interpretability, evaluations, and government/DoD adoption. Pillar Two (“Build American AI Infrastructure”) focuses on the physical side of AI—permitting for data centers and fabs, energy and grid expansion, semiconductors, water for cooling, workforce training, cybersecurity, and “security by design,” while anticipating trade-offs and litigation. Pillar Three (“Lead in International AI Diplomacy and Security”) balances support for exporting US “full stack” AI with tighter national security controls, including stronger export-control enforcement and participation in international bodies primarily to counter China. The conversation closes with suggestions for improving the plan by strengthening trust, safety/rights considerations, and maintaining flexibility as AI capabilities evolve.
