Interview with Evan Powell - Generative and agentic AI are improving cyberattacks faster than they're improving cyber defenses. Offensive folks have been having the most luck with AI so far, which is further eroding any advantage defenders might have had. Evan Powell joins us to share some ideas on how defenders can get some benefits from AI as well, and why open source is important with this approach. Topic For this week's topic segment, we've got two very interesting data sources. The first is Anthropic's first update on Project Glasswing, where they're absolutely tearing through codebases with ultra premium Mythos tokens, but then hitting a human-shaped bottleneck as they attempt to validate all the findings. The second is the first report from Root Evidence, the latest startup from Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen (aka RSnake), which aims to help organizations filter out all the vulnerabilities that don't matter. Where these two reports meet in the middle is my concern that the use of AI to scour every last bug out of code is going to be the most Sisyphean task the cybersecurity industry has ever come up with (and we have some deep experience here). The Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Less funding, more acquisition the AI SOC startup space is CROWDED your CEO is suffering from AI psychosis Some CISOs are done with the job, IT can have it detecting and removing dangerous secrets from dev workstations 230,000 security advisories roll up to 6 attacker behaviors The FBI's 2025 IC3 report is out When tech billionaires make predictions, they're actually sales pitches All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

RSA Conference (RSAC) 2026, the 35th annual flagship event for cybersecurity, drew over 43,500 attendees, featuring more than 600 exhibitors, 570+ sessions, and 700+ speakers from 104 countries. It generated 370 million social media impressions. With this size and reach, what should security leaders expect when they attend? Joseph Blankenship, Vice President, Research Director at Forrester Research, and Adrian Sanabria, host of Enterprise Security Weekly, join Business Security Weekly for a special recording from RSAC 2026. This pre-recorded session was filmed live from the conference on March 24, 2026. We discuss what security leaders will see, what they should expect from attending, and a few predictions for the future. If you didn't attend the conference, don't worry, this is a great way to get an inside view. And maybe it helps you decide to attend next year.

Interview with Rob Allen from Threatlocker This week, Rob Allen from Threatlocker is with us to discuss the importance of EDR and MDR visibility. We discuss some real world attacks and anecdotes where EDR was able to save the day when threats were missed by other controls. Topic: Do the basics, they said. Easier said than done. Guillaume and Adrian discuss the futility of attempting to do all the foundational work standards, best practices, and regulations expect of organizations. Adrian has given up. Fortunately, Guillaume has some excellent advice and hope to share on this front. The weekly enterprise news Finally, in the enterprise security news, a really interesting vibe check funding acquisitions the verizon DBIR we give a tutorial on how to leak AWS keys on github OH NEVERMIND, SOMEONE AT CISA ALREADY MADE THE TUTORIAL agents versus agents exploitbench the vulnpocalypse robot dogs are SO EASY to take out, we don't need to be too scared of them yet All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

Interview with Dimitri Sirota from BigID Most organizations think AI risk lives in the model – or the identity. It doesn't. It lives in the data. In this episode, BigID's CEO reframes the conversation: why legacy access controls are breaking down, why visibility into sensitive data is the missing foundation, and what it takes to govern humans and machines under a single, accountable framework.

In this topic segment, we discuss the two main aspects of this trend: How we can stop the chain of breaches from a third party library, vendor, or service provider How this might get handled at the legal, contractual, and organizational levels We discuss two big recent examples: Sonicwall's 2025 breach of their cloud firewall configuration backup service The compromise of Aqua Security's widely used Trivy open source tool The Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Funding and M&A courtesy of the Security, Funded newsletter We have evidence that attackers are leveraging AI now (this sounds like old news, but there was little to no evidence before, when people were claiming this) The Angry admin problem emerges again Vulnerability information is getting crazy to keep up with Breach information is getting crazy to keep up with You can give your Agents an allowance now - don't spend it all in one place Are vulnerabilities sparse or dense?

Interview with Kara Sprague - The AI Fix for Infrastructure's Oldest Security Risks. Critical infrastructure, often built on decades-old systems and legacy code, remains vulnerable to cyberattacks. From pipelines and energy grids to transportation networks, we break down where critical infrastructure is vulnerable and how AI could potentially help strengthen defenses. Interview with Mike Privette - The State of the Cybersecurity Market Here at ESW, we use Mike Privette's Security, Funded newsletter to prepare for every news segment. His newsletter covers the latest fundings, acquisitions, public market performance, layoffs, and other pertinent market details every week. We particularly enjoy the weekly Vibe Check. In this interview, he joins us for the third year in a row, to discuss the most interesting insights from his annual State of Market Report. Post recording Adrian here: Whooooo, so this conversation was SO good, I decided to punt the news segment in favor of a part 2 with Mike, so enjoy! Also, though I punted the news segment, I did collect these stories and annotated them, so I think there's still some value in leaving them in the show notes. Scroll down for the links and my comments on each of these! Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, funding announcements seem to be ramping up before RSA Should security architects be shifting right? How McKinsley's AI platform got hacked… by AI Amazon is having a bad time with AI lately Europe announces a Google Workspace/Microsoft 365 replacement Robot dogs are apparently guarding datacenters now Some much needed security humor in our squirrel stories before we all fly to San Francisco and lose our minds for a week All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

Interview with Jeremy Snyder from FireTail about AI Governance Death by a thousand cuts: the AI shadow IT problem I think the best description of the AI governance problem during this interview was the title of the award-winning movie, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Generative AI has been disrupting businesses, products, and vendor risk management for a few years now. FireTail is one of the companies trying to address this problem for enterprises, so we check in with Jeremy Snyder to see how things are going. Segment 1 Resources: https://www.firetail.ai/ai-breach-tracker Interview with Allie Mellen about her new book, Code War: How Nations Hack, Spy, and Shape the Digital Battlefield We're VERY excited to check out Allie's new book, which will be released on St. Patrick's Day 2026! The timing could not be better, as her book is perfectly positioned to provide some much needed perspective on the cyber aspects of the ongoing war in Iran. Is it normal to see the use of wipers on healthcare companies in the midst of the conflict? Is there any precedent for hyperscaler datacenters getting targeted (some of AWS's EMEA regions are still recovering)? Check out the conversation to find out! Pick up the book! from Wiley from Barnes & Noble from Amazon Allie's personal website The Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Vibes and funding! Starting to see some disruption in the vuln mgmt space (finally!)

Podcast: Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio) (LS 47 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: OT Security/business resilience, lack of incentives for securing software & the news - Ben Worthy - ESW #448Pub date: 2026-03-02Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationInterview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect The current state of OT security and business resilience In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk. Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time. This segment is sponsored by Airbus Protect. Visit https://securityweekly.com/airbusprotect to learn more about them! Topic: Where are the business incentives to build secure products and software? "It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much. Stocks recover, insurance covers the bulks of the losses, fines are paid, and lawsuits are settled. Most businesses can comfortably absorb the impact, so the threat of reputational harm or financial losses just aren't slowing them down. In the case of Ivanti, where the reputational harm was extreme, the company's companies continue to get hacked as critical vulnerabilities keep getting discovered in their products. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-02-19/vpn-used-by-us-government-failed-to-stop-china-state-sponsored-hackers In this topic segment, we don't aim to provide solutions to this problem, just the awareness that ethics, doing the right thing, and even signing the Secure by Design pledge don't seem to be enough to change vendor behavior when it comes to securing products.

Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time.

Segment 1: Interview with Warwick Webb From Initial Entry to Resilience: Understanding Modern Attack Flows Modern cyberattacks don't unfold as isolated alerts--they move as coordinated attack flows that exploit gaps between tools, teams, and time. In this episode, Warwick Webb, Vice President of Managed Detection and Response at SentinelOne, breaks down how today's breaches often begin invisibly, progress undetected through siloed security stacks, and accelerate faster than human response alone can handle. He'll discuss how unified platforms, machine-speed detection powered by global threat intelligence, and expert-led response change the equation--turning fragmented signals into clear attack narratives. The conversation concludes with how organizations can move beyond incident response to build resilience, readiness, and continuous improvement through post-attack analysis. Listeners will leave with a clearer understanding of how attacks actually unfold in the real world—and what it takes to move from reactive alert handling to true attack-flow-driven defense.

Segment 1: Interview with Thyaga Vasudevan Hybrid by Design: Zero Trust, AI, and the Future of Data Control AI is reshaping how work gets done, accelerating decision-making and introducing new ways for data to be created, accessed, and shared. As a result, organizations must evolve Zero Trust beyond an access-only model into an inline data governance approach that continuously protects sensitive information wherever it moves. Securing access alone is no longer enough in an AI-driven world. In this episode, we'll unpack why real-time visibility and control over data usage are now essential for safe AI adoption, accurate outcomes, and regulatory compliance. From preventing data leakage to governing how data is used by AI systems, security teams need controls that operate in the moment - across cloud, browser, SaaS, and on-prem environments - without slowing the business. We'll also explore how growing data sovereignty and regulatory pressures are driving renewed interest in hybrid architectures. By combining cloud agility with local control, organizations can keep sensitive data protected, governed, and compliant, regardless of where it resides or how AI is applied.

Segment 1 with Beck Norris - Making vulnerability management actually work Vulnerability management is often treated as a tooling or patching problem, yet many organizations struggle to reduce real cyber risk despite heavy investment. In this episode, Beck Norris explains why effective vulnerability management starts with governance and risk context, depends on multiple interconnected security disciplines, and ultimately succeeds or fails based on accountability, metrics, and operational maturity. Drawing from the aviation industry—one of the most regulated and safety-critical environments—Beck translates lessons that apply broadly across regulated and large-scale enterprises, including healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure. Segment 2 with Ryan Fried and Jose Toledo - Making incident response actually work Organizations statistically have decent to excellent spending on cybersecurity: they have what should be sufficient staff and some good tools. When they get hit with an attack, however, the response is often an unorganized, poorly communicated mess! What's going on here, why does this happen??? Not to worry. Ryan and José join us in this segment to offer some insight into why this happens and how to ensure it never happens again!

First Topic - Podcast Content Plans for 2026 Every year, I like to sit down and consider what the podcast should be focusing on. Not doing so ensures every single episode will be about AI and nobody wants that. Least of all, me. If I have one more all-AI episode, my head is going to explode. With that said, most of what we talk about in this segment is AI (picard face palm.png). I think 2026 will be THE defining year for GenAI. Three years after the release of ChatGPT, I think we've hit peak GenAI hype and folks are ready for it to put up or shut up. We'll see winners grow and get acquired and losers pivot to something else. More than anything, I want to interview folks who have actually seen it work at scale, rather than just in a cool demo in a vendor sandbox. Also on the agenda for this year: The battle against infostealers and session hijacking: we didn't have a good answer in 2025. When is it coming? Will it include Macs, despite them not having a traditional TPM? The state of trust in outsourcing and third party use (Cloud, MSSPs, SaaS, contractors): 2025 was not a good year for third parties. Lots of them got breached and caused their customers a lot of pain. Also, there's the state of balkanization between the US and... the rest of the entire world. Everyone outside the US seems to be trying to derisk their companies and systems from the Cloud Act right now. Vulnerability management market disruption: there are half a dozen startups already plotting to disrupt the market, likely to come out of stealth in 2026 Future of the SOC: if it's not AI, what is it? What else??? What am I missing? What would you like to see us discuss? Please drop me a line and let me know: adrian.sanabria@cyberriskalliance.com Topic 2: The state of cybersecurity hiring This topic has been in the works for a while! Ayman had a whole podcast and book focused on all the paths people take to get into security. Jackie worked with WiSys on outlining pathways into a cybersecurity career. Whether you're already in cyber or looking for a way in, this segment crams a lot of great advice into just 15-20 minutes.

For this week's episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, there wasn't a lot of time to prepare. I had to do 5 podcasts in about 8 days leading up to the holiday break, so I decided to just roll with a general chat and see how it went. Also, apologies, for any audio quality issues, as the meal I promised to make for dinner this day required a lot of prep, so I was in the kitchen for the whole episode! For reference, I made the recipe for morisqueta michoacana from Rick Martinez's cookbook, Mi Cocina. I used the wrong peppers (availability issue), so it came out green instead of red, but was VERY delicious. As for the episode, we discuss what we've been up to, with Jackie sharing her experiences fighting against Meta (allegedly, through some shell companies) building an AI datacenter in her town. We then get into discussing the limitations of AI, the potential of the AI bubble popping, and general limitations of AI that are becoming obvious. One of the key limitations is AI's inability to apply personal experience, have strong opinions, or any sense of 'taste'. I think I shared my observation that AI is becoming a sort of 'digital junk food'. "NO AI" has become a common phrase used by creators - a source of pride that media consumers seem to be celebrating and seeking out. Segment Resources: Kagi absolutely did NOT sponsor this episode. I have become a big fan of paying for search so that I am not the product. There are other players in this market, but I've settled on Kagi. We mention Ira Glass's bit on taste, which is a small bit of a longer talk he did on storytelling. The shorter bit is here, and is less than 2 minutes long. The full talk is split into 4 parts and posted on a YouTube channel called "War Photography" for some reason.

Interview with Danny Jenkins: How badly configured are your endpoints? Misconfigurations are one of the most overlooked areas in terms of security program quick wins. Everyone freaks out about vulnerabilities, patching, and exploits. Meanwhile, security tools are misconfigured. Thousands of unused software packages increase remediation effort and attack surface. The most basic misconfigurations lead to breaches. Threatlocker spotted this opportunity and have extended their agent-based product to increase attention on these common issues. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker. Visit https://securityweekly.com/threatlocker to learn more! Interview with Wendy Nather: Recalibrating how we think about AI AI and the case for toxic anthropomorphism. When Wendy coined this phrase on Mastodon a few weeks ago, I knew that she had hit on something important and that we needed to discuss it on this podcast. We were lucky to find some time for Wendy to come on the show! Quick note: while this was not a sponsored segment, 1Password IS currently a sponsor of this podcast. That doesn't really change the conversation any, except that I have to be nice to Wendy. But why would anyone ever be mean to Wendy???

Live from InfoSec World 2025, this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly features six in-depth conversations with leading voices in cybersecurity, exploring the tools, strategies, and leadership approaches driving the future of enterprise defense. From configuration management and AI-generated threats to emerging frameworks and national standards, this special edition captures the most influential conversations from this year's conference. In this episode: -You Don't Need a Hacker When You Have Misconfigurations — Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker®, discusses how overlooked settings and weak controls continue to be one of the most common causes of breaches. He explains how Defense Against Configurations (DAC) helps organizations identify, map, and remediate configuration risks before attackers can exploit them. -Security Challenges for Mid-Sized Companies — Perry Schumacher, Chief Strategy Officer & Partner at Ridge IT Cyber, explores the evolving security challenges facing mid-sized organizations. He discusses how AI is becoming a competitive advantage, how mobility and third-party reliance complicate defenses, and what steps these organizations can take to improve resilience and efficiency. -The Rise of Security Control Management: Secure by Design, Not by Chance — Marene Allison, former CISO of Johnson & Johnson, introduces Security Control Management (SCM), a new software category that unifies control selection, mapping, validation, and enforcement. She explains how SCM transforms fragmented compliance programs into proactive, embedded defense. -Engineered for Protection: The Rise of Security Control Management — Ryan Heritage, Advisor at Sicura, continues the discussion on SCM, explaining how organizations can operationalize this approach to move from reactive reporting to proactive, data-driven defense. He highlights how automation and integration enable security decisions to be made at “the speed of relevance.” -The AI Threat: Protecting Your Email from AI-Generated Attacks — Patricia Titus, Field CISO at Abnormal Security, explores how cybercriminals are weaponizing generative AI to create sophisticated phishing and social engineering attacks. She shares practical strategies for defending against AI-generated threats and emphasizes why AI-based protections are now essential for modern enterprises. -Igniting Change: A Conversation with Dr. Ron Ross — Dr. Ron Ross, CEO at RONROSSECURE, LLC, shares insights from decades of pioneering work in cybersecurity, including the Risk Management Framework and Systems Security Engineering Guidelines. He discusses how leaders can apply these principles to strengthen resilience, foster innovation, and drive meaningful change across the cybersecurity landscape.   Segment Resources ThreatLocker® Defense Against Configurations (DAC): https://www.threatlocker.com/platform/defense-against-configurations Book a demo to see DAC in action.
