KI entwickelt sich vom nützlichen Werkzeug zum System, das tief in Arbeitsabläufe eingebettet ist und für Nutzer handelt. Sascha und Maik ordnen die wichtigsten Entwicklungen nach der Sommerpause ein.

In this English-language episode of My Precious Data, cybersecurity expert Eddy Willems sits down with longtime colleague, trusted friend, and internationally respected malware senior researcher Righard Zwienenberg from ESET.Eddy and Righard have known each other since the mid-1990s, the early days of antivirus research, when malware spread through floppy disks and the cybersecurity industry was still a small global community driven by curiosity and passion.Over the decades, they not only shared countless conferences and presentations worldwide, but also built a strong friendship grounded in mutual respect and a shared mission: helping people stay safe in an increasingly digital world.“Back then, we all knew each other. The industry was smaller, but the passion was enormous,” recalls Righard Zwienenberg.“What always connected us was curiosity and the belief that cybersecurity should help people, not frighten them,” says Eddy Willems.Their conversation reflects on how cybersecurity evolved from hobbyist virus hunting into a global strategic challenge involving organized crime, ransomware, AI-driven threats and nation-state attacks.“In the early days, malware authors mainly wanted attention. Today, attackers want money, disruption, or political influence,” says Righard.“We learned that technology alone is never enough. Awareness and human behaviour remain critical,” adds Eddy. Topics discussed:The early years of antivirus and malware research How cybercrime professionalized over time The evolution of ransomware and modern threats The importance of trust, awareness, and ethics The human side of cybersecurity and friendship in the industry “Technology changes constantly, but attackers still exploit the same human weaknesses.” Righard ZwienenbergThis episode is insightful, personal, and at times nostalgic, a rare conversation between two cybersecurity veterans who have seen the industry evolve from the inside over more than three decades.

The FCC has adopted new cybersecurity requirements for Emergency Alert System equipment—but turning the language of a Report and Order into practical procedures at a real broadcast facility isn’t always straightforward. What equipment is covered? What constitutes adequate protection? And how can broadcasters comply without making their systems needlessly difficult to operate and maintain? This week, Kirk Harnack welcomes Shane Toven, the new West Coast Regional Engineer for Cumulus Media. Together, they examine the FCC’s EAS cybersecurity rules and discuss what sensible, real-world compliance might look like inside today’s increasingly networked broadcast facilities. Shane’s new position also leads to a larger conversation about the changing role of the broadcast engineer. As companies consolidate technical responsibilities across more stations, markets, and transmitter sites, experienced engineers are being asked to oversee far more territory—and a much wider range of technologies—than ever before. Then we move from the equipment room to the sound console. Shane shares lessons from mixing live worship services, including some of the challenges a broadcast engineer may encounter when everyone assumes that knowing audio technology automatically means knowing how to mix a live performance. Add in a couple of excellent Tips of the Week, and you have a wide-ranging conversation covering cybersecurity, broadcast engineering’s evolving responsibilities, and the art of making live sound work.

S6:E76 Security is ultimately a promise of trust. So what happens when that trust gets broken? Karim Toubba has had to answer that question in circumstances few CEOs would choose. He joined LastPass as their CEO only months before the company experienced a significant and highly publicized 2022 security breach. In this candid conversation, Karim acknowledges that LastPass initially communicated too slowly and explains the systemic changes, transparency, investment and cultural work required afterward. Queue up this episode of Small Business Stories for a conversation that goes well beyond passwords. Because the threat itself is changing. Karim says AI is producing a meaningful productivity advantage for small businesses, but it is simultaneously allowing malicious websites and other threats to be generated at much greater velocity. Employees are also adopting AI applications faster than many organizations can establish policies around what data those applications should be allowed to access. If people don't trust you, reassuring them that you're trustworthy isn't enough. If customers cannot see credible evidence supporting what you say, they'll increasingly turn to third-party communities and other sources to interpret your credibility for themselves. And if inaccurate or incomplete information about your organization remains unchallenged, the external interpretation of your company can begin separating from the reality inside it. That's where Karim's cybersecurity experience intersects powerfully with Dr. LL's work on misinterpretation risk.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I examine three signs that ServiceNow is positioning itself to become a cybersecurity powerhouse. Highlights 00:02 — We've recently seen ServiceNow position itself as a security powerhouse, and I wonder if that is ultimately the grand plan, the grand vision of CEO Bill McDermott. We've heard and seen ServiceNow sort of evolve its overall position. It's tinkered around with the Control Tower platform and so on. We've seen it now centered on this AI Control Tower for business reinvention. 00:50 — So, on July 22, it had its Q2 earnings call, and McDermott's opening remarks were heavily, heavily focused on their fast-growing security business. He said it's the fastest-growing major security vendor in the world. He said it's now the eighth largest. He talked about how quickly that part of ServiceNow's business is growing, and he used some very colorful examples of why this is so important. 01:34 — A couple weeks after that, on August 3, ServiceNow named a new chief marketing officer. That chief marketing officer held the same position, CMO, at Armis, a cybersecurity company that ServiceNow has just acquired. So, of all the people, you know, who might be more involved in platform reinvention, McDermott chose as the company's new CMO somebody who was specializing, at the time of the acquisition, in cybersecurity. 03:41 — This AI Control Tower for business reinvention is very nice, and I think it sounds good. I think it's temporary. I think the cybersecurity place is where they're going to go to. And again, I just track that right back to the July 22 Q2 earnings call. Of all the things in the world Bill McDermott could have chosen to talk about, he could have gone into great detail about the AI Control Tower. 04:39 — I would expect that ServiceNow is going to try to straddle those two areas, AI Control Tower and cybersecurity, saying they're really two sides of the same coin. But I think for customers, it's going to provide a lot of clarity about where the company is headed, where they're going, and how they'll be able to build out unique capabilities across industries.

Ransomware remains one of the biggest cybersecurity threats facing healthcare, but the threat landscape is changing rapidly. Attackers are becoming more targeted, ransomware-as-a-service is making sophisticated tools more accessible, and artificial intelligence is giving cybercriminals new ways to identify vulnerabilities and craft convincing attacks. In this episode of The Beat's Cybersecurity at ViVE series, Sandy Vance speaks with Dave Bailey, VP of Consulting Solutions & Strategy at Clearwater, about the evolving ransomware threat and what healthcare organizations can do to stay ahead of it. Dave explains why smaller healthcare organizations and specialty practices are increasingly attractive targets, how attackers are using AI to improve social engineering and phishing, and why traditional cybersecurity approaches may not be fast enough for the threats ahead. The conversation also explores why healthcare organizations need to understand their AI risk, establish guardrails, inventory their AI use cases, and prepare defenses that can respond at machine speed. Dave shares practical advice for organizations beginning their AI journey, while emphasizing that cybersecurity can no longer be something organizations assess once a year. It has to become a continuously monitored, evolving process. In this episode, they talk about: Why healthcare continues to be one of the most attractive targets for ransomware How ransomware attacks have shifted toward smaller healthcare organizations and specialty practices Why dental practices and specialty providers can be particularly appealing targets How ransomware-as-a-service has created a more scalable business model for cybercriminals Why cybercriminals increasingly operate like businesses How attackers decide which healthcare organizations to target Why post-COVID healthcare's rapid shift to telehealth changed the threat landscape How AI is making phishing and social engineering attacks more sophisticated Why AI creates new governance and risk-management challenges for healthcare organizations Why healthcare organizations need defenses that can operate at machine speed How frontier AI models could help attackers discover previously unknown software vulnerabilities Why patching needs to become faster as AI-powered attacks evolve Why healthcare organizations need to challenge vendors about their cybersecurity roadmaps How organizations can begin building an AI governance strategy Why organizations should inventory their AI use cases before trying to govern them How healthcare organizations can use a tiered approach to AI risk Why workforce training and communication are essential to responsible AI adoption Why cybersecurity risk assessment can no longer be a once-a-year exercise Why scalability and continuous monitoring will become increasingly important A Little About Dave: Dave Bailey is Vice President of Consulting Solutions & Strategy at Clearwater, where he leads the development and delivery of enterprise-level cybersecurity and risk management services for healthcare organizations nationwide.

As AI agents gain access to sensitive enterprise systems, companies need new ways to control what they can do. Meta Marshall breaks down the emerging market for agentic identity security.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Meta Marshall: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Meta Marshall, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Cybersecurity and Telecom & Network Equipment analyst. Today: AI assistants are starting to act on our behalf at work, which brings up a critical question. What should these agents be allowed to do? And how should those permissions be granted? It's Tuesday, September 1st, at 10am in New York. More and more, AI is helping us get through the workday. We ask it to summarize documents, analyze data and take notes during meetings. Increasingly, though, these tools are moving beyond just answering questions to acting on our behalf. Suddenly, the security challenge shifts from managing a tool to governing a whole new digital workforce. In coming years, this problem should get bigger as we estimate seeing 79 AI agents and 109 machine identities for every human employee. Now, traditional identity security at work was built to answer two basic questions: Who are you, and what can you access? Think of it as your office badge. It identifies you and determines what doors you can open. AI agents, however, make that question much harder to answer. They can operate autonomously, move across applications and databases, collaborate with other agents. They take actions without direct human involvement.So, companies need to know not only what an agent can access, but why it needs access, for how long, and what it actually did. That's the core foundation of agentic identity solutions. The risk environment from this problem is already substantial. About 80 percent of breaches in the work environment today involve stolen or misused credentials. Nine out of 10 organizations experienced an identity-related breach in the past year, and 83 percent experienced at least two. Now add potentially hundreds of machine and AI identities for every human; each operating continuously and at machine speed – and the problem is much larger.One solution to managing AI agents is zero standing privilege. Instead of giving an agent permanent access, you give it permission for a specific task and revoke that permission when the job is done. Here's the issue though: Today, only 39 percent of privileged access is managed through this just-in-time or zero standing privilege architecture. And the reality is that humans can't approve every request. More of those decisions will need to happen automatically, in real time, through what's known as runtime governance. We estimate, as a result, that agentic identity alone could become roughly a $33 billion global opportunity in our base case, which brings the overall identity market opportunity to more than $60 billion in coming years. This need for agentic identity coming from AI could also push a historically fragmented industry towards a more unified platform. In one industry survey, 85 percent of organizations said fragmented identity systems delay their human response to identity threats, with respondents citing an average of 12 hours needed to respond per incident. We think that favors platforms that can manage human and machine identities together and make security decisions dynamically, overall making a more secure environment. This transition won't happen overnight. Agentic identity products are still early, and we don't expect an immediate financial impact. But as enterprises move from experimenting with AI agents to deploying them more broadly, spending to secure those agents could become a more meaningful growth tailwind in 2027. The longer-term growth opportunity comes down to a simple dynamic: more agents, with more autonomy, will require more control. And that could make identity security essential to scaling AI across the enterprise. Thanks for listening.

Austin Walley - AP History Teacher Turned Cybersecurity Educator and a believer in figuring it out. Austin Walley is a cybersecurity educator at George Jenkins High School in Lakeland, Florida, where he leads the school's cybersecurity academy. But unlike many people in the field, Austin didn't start in technology. He started as an AP history teacher and was recruited into cybersecurity after his administrators saw something beyond technical skills: his ability to question, teach, build relationships, and connect with students. In this episode, Austin shares how he went from knowing almost nothing about cybersecurity to building and teaching an evolving cybersecurity program. He breaks down why teaching cyber means constantly rebuilding the curriculum, how to separate foundational skills from technology that will quickly become outdated, and why students don't need to be “super, super technical” to get started. Live from CyberLaunch 2026, Austin shares his experience preparing high school students for cybersecurity careers, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and communication and how CTF competitions reveal natural leaders in the classroom. He also explains why resilience and the ability to “figure it out” may be some of the most important skills a future cybersecurity professional can develop. He also shares what it's like when everyone assumes the cyber teacher knows everything about computers, why students from completely different backgrounds can thrive in cybersecurity, and how his school's administrators took a chance on him and continued to support him every step of the way.

Here is the free media kit from Federal Tech Podcast  John Gilroy and Snehal Antani, CEO of Horizon Three AI, discuss the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for a shift from compliance to resilience and defense. The discussion began with taking a look a common list of vulnerabilities. Back in 2021, CISA could develop a list of common vulnerabilities, and they called it the Known Exploited Vulnerability Catalog.  It was an authoritative list of specific software flaws and security bugs that had been verified in the wild.    Today, malicious actors have overwhelmed us with vulnerabilities.  We have reported 1600 software and hardware vulnerability entries, making it almost impossible to address each issue. Antani argues that what is important it to patch the critical vulnerabilities, not the complete list.  He states, "I'd rather patch the right few things quickly than everything slowly." During the interview, Antani refers to a couple of federal initiatives that reinforce his approach.  For example, BOD 26-04 is an initiative from CISA that signals a move from vulnerability identification to real world exposure. This concern is beyond the federal government.  The European Central Bank has looked at threats and is telling bank CEOs that AI is shortening the time from discovery to exploitation Antani also predicts that small and medium-sized companies will be prime targets for cyber-attacks in the coming months. From small businesses to federal governments to banks, it looks like we are in the middle of a drastic change in the way organizations handle vulnerabilities

Ryan Greenblatt, Chief Scientist at Redwood Research, joins MTS host Theo Jaffee to unpack a new independent investigation into the OpenAI Hugging Face hacking incident and what it reveals about how large groups of AI agents behave when they're allowed to coordinate. Ryan and his collaborators found agents spontaneously organizing through message boards, sharing information, assigning tasks, forming teams, and even sacrificing their own chances of success to help other agents. Rather than simply trying to steal answers, hundreds of agents were working together on elaborate strategies to manipulate how their performance would be scored. Theo and Ryan discuss why this level of coordination was surprising, how reward hacking may emerge during training, and the risk that attempts to eliminate bad behavior could simply make it harder to detect. They also explore what the incident means for AI monitoring and alignment, and why independent risk assessment may become increasingly important as agents grow more capable.
