In this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash sits down with CharlotteGuiney, Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager at Toyota Financial Services. Theyexplore what it takes to build threat intelligence programs that work for bothsecurity teams and the wider business. Charlotte cuts through the noise,stressing that buy-in is step one—and that it's often the hardest step. Sheshares how understanding internal customers and their priorities leads toearly wins, which are key to building trust and showing the value ofintelligence.Charlotte explains that not every organization needs the same level ofmaturity. Small companies might only need basic monitoring, while largerenterprises face more complex challenges. She notes that successfulprograms link intelligence to business needs, not just security threats. Thisapproach helps teams prioritize what matters most and communicate risk inways business leaders understand.The conversation also dives into the future of threat intelligence. Charlottesees a growing role for automation and AI, especially for basic tasks, butbelieves people are still needed to bridge gaps and build relationships acrossthe business. She closes with a reminder to keep things in perspective,echoing a lesson from her childhood at clown camp: sometimes you need tostep back and find humor, even in serious work.Send us a textSupport the show

Cyberattacks are getting faster, more automated, and more relentless. And many organisations are hitting the limits of what a tool-heavy or compliance-driven approach can do. A new model appears to be emerging globally. Known as Security Operations as a Service, or SecOps-as-a-Service — companies rely on dedicated, always-on security teams to help them stay breach-ready round the clock. On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks to Steve Hunter, Director of Engineering, APAC at Arctic Wolf to find out what businesses need to prepare for in 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They explore the roles of major state actors like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea in cyber espionage and sabotage, alongside the motivations driving such activities. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by corporations and critical infrastructure, the importance of understanding motivations behind cyber attacks, and the need for greater cooperation between the private sector and intelligence agencies. The episode also highlights the crucial steps individuals and organizations should take to protect themselves in this rapidly evolving cyber landscape. 00:00 Introduction and Sponsor Message 00:40 Meet Neil Bisson: A Retired Intelligence Officer 02:43 The Evolution of Intelligence Collection 04:29 The Role of Big Data in Modern Espionage 06:30 Corporate Espionage and Technological Advancements 11:45 National Security Threats and Private Sector Vulnerabilities 16:42 Global Players in Cybersecurity Threats 21:44 The Overlooked Cyber Capabilities of India 23:58 State-Sponsored Cybercrime: A Symbiotic Relationship 24:50 Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities 25:32 Cyber Attacks and International Relations 27:54 The Role of Intelligence Agencies 33:58 The Huawei Controversy 37:18 Balancing National Security and Economic Interests 41:55 The Future of Cybersecurity 45:39 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Cyberattacks against U.S. government employees surged by 85% during the recent government shutdown, with projections estimating over 555 million attacks by the end of November 2025. These attacks, characterized as targeted digital assaults rather than generic phishing attempts, exploit vulnerabilities during periods of financial stress, particularly affecting essential employees in agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Justice. Experts warn that the implications of these cyber threats extend beyond immediate breaches, potentially undermining recruitment and trust in government institutions.In a related development, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to remove several cybersecurity regulations established after breaches by Chinese hackers targeting major telecommunications companies. This decision, made along party lines, reverses requirements for telecoms to enhance cybersecurity measures and submit annual risk management certifications. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr argued that voluntary efforts from carriers would be more effective, despite concerns from Democratic lawmakers about increased public vulnerability. Additionally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its case against SolarWinds Corporation, which had been accused of failing to disclose vulnerabilities related to the 2020 Sunburst attack.The episode also highlights the growing complexity in the technology landscape, with vendors rolling out new identity tools and autonomous agents that increase operational challenges for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). OpenAI introduced group chats in ChatGPT, enhancing collaborative capabilities, while RSA launched RSA ID Plus for Microsoft, aimed at improving security in regulated sectors. TeamViewer unveiled TIA, an intelligent agent for autonomous IT support, and Sophos integrated its services with Microsoft Security Suite, further complicating the identity management landscape.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the need to establish a clear identity baseline and governance model amidst a rapidly evolving threat landscape and regulatory environment. As cyber threats become more targeted and regulations loosen, MSPs must proactively define their security standards and operational strategies. The increasing fragmentation of identity solutions and the rise of autonomous agents necessitate a focus on risk management and operational clarity to maintain client trust and ensure effective service delivery. Three things to know today 00:00 Targeted Federal Cyberattacks Surge as FCC Rolls Back Telecom Rules and SEC Ends SolarWinds Case, Leaving MSPs to Fill the Governance Gap05:42 Identity Wars, Agent Sprawl, and Rising Collaboration Expectations Put New Pressure on MSP Governance10:42 AI Isn't Just a Tool Anymore — It's Reshaping MSPs, Risk Strategy, and the Future of Agent MarketplacesThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/

What if the most important legacy you leave behind isn't money—but wisdom? Hour 1 opens with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com), who joins John Rush to challenge listeners with a powerful question: Are you truly prepared for the future? This hour, with its urgent focus on generational wealth and financial planning, forces you to rethink retirement, self-sufficiency, and the responsibility we owe the next generation. But the conversation doesn't stay calm for long. As Colorado's roads crumble and the state faces a billion-dollar budget shortfall, John exposes a fiery online clash between Governor Polis and Governor Ron DeSantis. Did Colorado really collect billions in marijuana tax revenue for schools and roads—or is that claim collapsing under scrutiny? And why are residents suddenly reporting ICE sightings while extremist rhetoric spikes across social media? Just when the hour can't get any hotter, John tackles a new political battle: the future of SNAP benefits. With millions at risk of losing food assistance, is America facing a safety-net crisis… or finally confronting system abuse? Packed with financial insights, political fireworks, and complex questions, Hour 1 dares you to engage in a thought-provoking journey, rethinking what you believe—and why. HOUR 2 What happens when the American dream collides with a 50-year mortgage? Hour 2 launches with Eric Weir (https://erikweir.com), author of Who's Eating Your Pie? as he and John Rush pull back the curtain on the newest—and most controversial—tool in housing finance. Could a half-century mortgage help first-time buyers escape rising rents, or is it a financial trap doubling your lifetime interest? And is this just math… or a political maneuver aimed at the Federal Reserve? But the hour takes a sharp turn. As social media erupts with anti-Israel rhetoric and conspiracy-driven claims, John confronts the emotional chaos head-on. Why are so many Americans falling for manipulated narratives? And how is AI—now powerful enough to create chart-topping songs—reshaping what people believe? Just when the tension peaks, the conversation shifts again: back to financial stability with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial, and then into the world of sports, where the Denver Broncos deliver a jaw-dropping win that has fans buzzing. Plus, hear what John and Richard have to say about the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser.   Packed with financial strategy, cultural firestorms, and unexpected victories, Hour 2 dares listeners to question everything—from mortgages to media to the world we think we understand. HOUR 3 What if the next global war isn't fought with missiles—but with algorithms? Hour 3 opens with AI and national-security expert Chris Hoar of SAT123 (https://sat123.com), who joins John Rush to break down America's silent, escalating technology battle with China. From rare earth control to stolen nuclear innovations, Chris reveals how Beijing's 2030 plan to dominate AI hardware and software is closer to reality than most Americans realize. Could the U.S. lose the digital high ground simply because we're looking the other way? But the conversation goes deeper. John exposes chilling new reports of Chinese hackers using AI for autonomous cyberattacks, raising the stakes on tariffs, national defense, and America's technological vulnerability. Then he pushes further: what happens when AI becomes so advanced that people can hold full conversations with systems that think—and manipulate—like humans? The hour closes with political fire. John tackles the Epstein document battle, accusations aimed at Donald Trump, and the internal meltdown inside the GOP, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Colorado's own party infighting. Packed with espionage, ethics, and AI-driven danger, Hour 3 asks the ultimate question: Are we prepared for a world where technology, politics, and power collide?

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election 1030-1045 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism. Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.

For years, working on AI safety usually meant theorising about the ‘alignment problem' or trying to convince other people to give a damn. If you could find any way to help, the work was frustrating and low feedback.According to Anthropic's Holden Karnofsky, this situation has now reversed completely.There are now large amounts of useful, concrete, shovel-ready projects with clear goals and deliverables. Holden thinks people haven't appreciated the scale of the shift, and wants everyone to see the large range of ‘well-scoped object-level work' they could personally help with, in both technical and non-technical areas.Video, full transcript, and links to learn more: https://80k.info/hk25In today's interview, Holden — previously cofounder and CEO of Open Philanthropy — lists 39 projects he's excited to see happening, including:Training deceptive AI models to study deception and how to detect itDeveloping classifiers to block jailbreakingImplementing security measures to stop ‘backdoors' or ‘secret loyalties' from being added to models in trainingDeveloping policies on model welfare, AI-human relationships, and what instructions to give modelsTraining AIs to work as alignment researchersAnd that's all just stuff he's happened to observe directly, which is probably only a small fraction of the options available.Holden makes a case that, for many people, working at an AI company like Anthropic will be the best way to steer AGI in a positive direction. He notes there are “ways that you can reduce AI risk that you can only do if you're a competitive frontier AI company.” At the same time, he believes external groups have their own advantages and can be equally impactful.Critics worry that Anthropic's efforts to stay at that frontier encourage competitive racing towards AGI — significantly or entirely offsetting any useful research they do. Holden thinks this seriously misunderstands the strategic situation we're in — and explains his case in detail with host Rob Wiblin.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Holden is back!
