Segment 1 - Interview with Jeff Pollard Introducing Forrester's AEGIS Framework: Agentic AI Enterprise Guardrails For Information Security For this episode's interview, we're talking to Forrester analyst Jeff Pollard. I'm pulling this segment's description directly from the report's executive summary, which I think says it best: As AI agents and agentic AI are introduced to the enterprise, they present new challenges for CISOs. Traditional cybersecurity architectures were designed for organizations built around people. Agentic AI destroys that notion. In the near future, organizations will build for goal-oriented, ephemeral, scalable, dynamic agents where unpredictable emergent behaviors are incentivized to accomplish objectives. This change won't be as simple or as straightforward as mobile and cloud — and that's bad news for security leaders who in some cases still find themselves challenged by cloud security. Segment 2 - Weekly News Then, in the enterprise security news, there's funding and acquisitions, but we're not going to talk about them AI's gonna call the cops on you and everyone's losing money on it and Anthropic agreed to pay for all the copyright infringement they did when training models and Otter.ai got sued for recording millions of conversations without consent Burger King got embarrassed and their lawyers didn't like it NPM package mayhem certificate authority hijinks AI darwin awards All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly. Segment 3 - Executive Interviews from Black Hat 2025 Interview with Rohit Dhamankar from Fortra Live from Black Hat 2025 in Las Vegas, Matt Alderman sits down with Rohit Dhamankar, VP of Product Strategy at Fortra, to dive deep into the evolving world of offensive security. From red teaming and pen testing to the rise of AI-powered threat simulation and continuous penetration testing, this conversation is a must-watch for CISOs, security architects, and compliance pros navigating today's dynamic threat landscape. Learn why regulatory bodies worldwide are now embedding offensive security requirements into frameworks like PCI DSS 4.0, and how organizations can adopt scalable strategies—even with limited red team resources. Rohit breaks down the nuances of purple teaming, AI-assisted red teaming, and the role of BAS platforms in enhancing defense postures. Whether you're building in-house capabilities or leveraging external partners, this interview reveals key insights on security maturity, strategic outsourcing, and the future of cyber offense and defense convergence.

Interview with Michael Leland from Island At BlackHat 2025 in Las Vegas, Matt Alderman sits down with Michael Leland, VP Field CTO at Island, to tackle one of cybersecurity's most urgent realities: compromised credentials aren't a possibility — they're a guarantee. From deepfakes to phishing and malicious browser plug-ins, attackers aren't “breaking in” anymore… they're logging in. Michael reveals how organizations can protect stolen credentials from being used, why the browser is now the second weakest link in enterprise security, and how Island's enterprise browser can enforce multi-factor authentication at critical moments, block unsanctioned logins in real time, and control risky extensions with live risk scoring of 230,000+ Chrome plug-ins. Key takeaways: Why credential compromise is inevitable — and how to stop credential use How presentation layer DLP prevents data leaks inside and outside apps Real-time blocking of phishing logins and unsanctioned SaaS access Plug-in risk scoring, version pinning, and selective extension control Enabling BYOD securely — even after a catastrophic laptop loss Why many users never go back to Chrome, Edge, or Safari after switching Segment Resources: https://www.island.io/blog/how-the-enterprise-browser-neutralizes-the-risks-of-compromised-credentials This segment is sponsored by Island.

Interview with Dave Lewis on Security's Role in M&A Due Diligence In this episode, Dave Lewis from 1Password discusses the critical importance of security in mergers and acquisitions, from due diligence through integration. He explores common pitfalls, essential security assessments, and practical strategies for security leaders to protect organizational value throughout the M&A process. Topic: The Challenge of Breach Transparency Every industry concerned with safety has a process for publishing the details of accidents, incidents, and failures. Cybersecurity has yet to reach this milestone, and hiding the details of failures is holding us back. This talk will argue for the need for breach details to go public, and share strategies for finding and using some little-known sources of detailed breach data. Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, A funding, a few acquisitions, and an IPO for the first time in forever! Attackers are really actually starting to use AI now Some researcher spent all of August poking holes in all the AI tools Someone got Microsoft Copilot to be an accomplice in a coverup Microsoft is making a big change in Azure that will probably break some stuff No, Flipper Zero can't help you steal your car (just the stuff in it) Domain names are free to register now, maybe? Disgruntled former employee goes to jail AI tricked into doing more bad things All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly. This segment is sponsored by 1Password.

Interview with Harish Peri from Okta Oktane Preview: building frameworks to secure our Agentic AI future Like it or not, Agentic AI and protocols like MCP and A2A are getting pushed as the glue to take business process automation to the next level. Giving agents the power and access they need to accomplish these lofty goals is going to be challenging, from a security perspective. How do put AI agents in the position to perform broad tasks autonomously without granting them all the privileges? How do we avoid making AI agents a gold mine for attackers - the first place they stop once they hack into our companies? These are some examples of the questions Okta aims to answer at this year's Oktane event, and we aim to kick off the conversations a little early - with this interview! Segment Resources: Check out securityweekly.com/oktane for all our live coverage during the event this year! More information about the event and how you can attend can be found here: https://www.okta.com/oktane/ AI at Work 2025: Securing the AI-powered workforce Topic - Indirect Prompt Injection Getting Out of Hand Reports of indirect prompt injection issues have been around for a while. Of particular note was Michael Bargury's Living off Microsoft Copilot presentation from Black Hat USA 2024. Simply sending an email to a Copilot user could make bad stuff happen. Now, at Black Hat 2025, we've got more: the ability to plunder any data resource connected to ChatGPT (they call these integrations "Connectors") from Tamir Ishay Sharbat at Zenity Labs. The research is titled AgentFlayer: ChatGPT Connectors 0click Attack. Looks like Google Jules is also vulnerable to what the Embrace the Red blog is calling invisible prompts. Sourcegraph's Amp Code is also vulnerable to the same attack, which encodes instructions to make them invisible. What's really going to ruffle feathers is the fact that all these companies know this stuff is possible, but don't seem to be able to figure out how to prevent it. Ideally, we'd want to be able to distinguish between intended instruction and instructions injected via attachments or some other means outside of the prompt box. I guess that's easier said than done? News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Drones are coming for you… to help? One of the most powerful botnets ever goes down Phishing training is still pointless Microsoft sets an alarm on its phone for 8 years from now to do post-quantum stuff vulns galore in commercial ZTNA apps GenAI projects are struggling to make it to production Adblockers could be made illegal - in Germany Windows is getting native Agentic support Automating bug discovery AND remediation?

What's really going to ruffle feathers is the fact that all these companies know this stuff is possible, but don't seem to be able to figure out how to prevent it. Ideally, we'd want to be able to distinguish between intended instruction and instructions injected via attachments or some other means outside of the prompt box. I guess that's easier said than done? News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Drones are coming for you… to help?

Interview Segment - Lessons Learned from the tj-actions GitHub Action Supply Chain Attack with Dimitri Stiliadis Breach analysis is one of my favorite topics to dive into and I'm thrilled Dimitri is joining us today to reveal some of the insights he's pulled out of this GitHub Actions incident. It isn't an overstatement to say that some of the lessons to be learned from this incident represent fundamental changes to how we architect development environments. Why are we talking about it now, 4 months after it occurred? In the case of the Equifax breach, the most useful details about the breach didn't get released to the public until 18 months after the incident. It takes time for details to come out, but in my experience, the learning opportunities are worth the wait. Topic Segment - Should the US Go on the Cyber Offensive? Triggered by an op-ed from Dave Kennedy, the discussion of whether the US should launch more visible offensive cyber operations starts up again. There are a lot of factors and nuances to discuss here, and a lot of us have opinions here. We'll see if we can do any of it justice in 15 minutes.

Segment 1 - Interview with Helen Patton: Introducing the Cybersecurity Canon Did you know that there's a hall-of-fame for cybersecurity books? Over the past decade, the Cybersecurity Canon has published reviews on dozens of cybersecurity books and established a hall of fame. Hall of fame books are defined as titles that all cybersecurity professionals should read - a great short list for those new to the field and overwhelmed by choices. Helen Patton, co-founder and Chief of Staff for the Cybersecurity Canon joins us to tell us all about the Canon, how it came to be, and its transformation into a more visible and active organization. We'll also discuss Helen's own book, “Navigating the Cybersecurity Career Path”, and an upcoming second book she's working on as well! Segment Resources: Helen's personal website The Cybersecurity Canon website Segment 2 - Topic: Does the SOC 2 need to die? AJ Yawn thinks so.

Segment 1: Interview with Monzy Merza - There is a Right and Wrong Way to use AI in the SOC In the rush to score AI funding dollars, a lot of startups build a basic wrapper around existing generative AI services like those offered by OpenAI and Anthropic. As a result, these services are expensive, and don't satisfy many security operations teams' privacy requirements. This is just the tip of the iceberg when discussing the challenges of using AI to aid the SOC. In this interview, we'll dive into the challenge of finding security vendors that care about security, the need for transparency in products, the evolving shared responsibility model, and other topics related to solving security operations challenges. Segment 2: Topic Segment - How much AI is too much AI? In the past few weeks, I've talked to several startup founders who are running into buyers that aren't allowed to purchase their products, even though they want them and prefer them over the competition.

As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data. In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He'll explore the need for Extended Access Management, a modern approach that ensures every identity is authentic, every device is healthy, and every application sign-in is secure, including the unmanaged ones. Tune in to learn how security teams can bridge the Access-Trust Gap while empowering employees with frictionless security.

This is where we'll start our conversation: trying to get some perspective around how generative AI has changed the overall landscape of AI in the enterprise. Then, we move on to the topic of AI safety and whether that should be the CISO's job, or someone else's. Finally, we'll discuss the future of AI and try to end on a positive or hopeful note! What a time to have this conversation! Mere days from the certain destruction of CVE, averted only in the 11th hour, we have a chat about vulnerability management lifecycles. CVEs are definitely part of them. Vulnerability management is very much a hot mess at the moment for many reasons.

Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most. The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up. Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead. This is what we'll be talking to Threatlocker's CEO and co-founder, Danny Jenkins, about on this episode. They seemed to have cracked the code here and are eager to share how they did it.

Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up. Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead. This is what we'll be talking to Threatlocker's CEO and co-founder, Danny Jenkins, about on this episode. They seemed to have cracked the code here and are eager to share how they did it.

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited. Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach? We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills.

What does a mature SecOps team look like? There is pressure to do more with less staff, increase efficiency and reduce costs. JP Bourget's experience has led him to believe that the answer isn't a tool upgrade, it's better planning, architecture, and process. In this interview, we'll discuss some of the common mistakes SecOps teams make, and where to start when building the SOC of the future. It feels like forever ago, but in the mid-2010s, we collectively realized, as an industry, that prevention was never going to be enough. Some attacks were always going to make their way through. Then ransomware got popular and really drove this point home. Detection engineering is a tough challenge, however. Where do we start? Which attacks should we build detections for? How much of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix do we need to cover? How often do these detections need to be reviewed and updated? Wait, are any of our detections even working? In this interview with Michael Mumcuoglu, we'll discuss where SecOps teams get it wrong. We'll discuss common pitfalls, and strategies for building more resilient and effective detections. Again, as an industry, we need to understand why ransomware attacks keep going unnoticed, despite attackers using routine techniques and tools that we see over and over and over again. Session Resources: Rethinking Threat Exposure Management: A Unified Approach to Reducing Risk This week, JP Bourget from Blue Cycle is with us to discuss Building the SOC of the Future Then, Michael Mumcuoglu (Moom-cuoglu) from CardinalOps joins us to talk about improving detection engineering.

Penetration tests are probably the most common and recognized cybersecurity consulting services. Nearly every business above a certain size has had at least one pentest by an external firm. Here's the thing, though - the average ransomware attack looks an awful lot like the bog standard pentest we've all been purchasing or delivering for years. Yet thousands of orgs every year fall victim to these attacks. What's going on here? Why are we so bad at stopping the very thing we've been training against for so long? This Interview with Phillip Wylie will provide some insight into this! Spoiler: a lot of the issues we had 10, even 15 years ago remain today. Segment resources: Phillip's talk, Optimal Offensive Security Programs from Dia de los Hackers last fall It takes months to get approvals and remediate cloud issues. It can take months to fix even critical vulnerabilities! How could this be? I thought the cloud was the birthplace of agile/DevOps, and everything speedy and scalable in IT? How could cloud security be struggling so much? In this interview we chat with Marina Segal, the founder and CEO of Tamnoon - a company she founded specifically to address these problems.

2025 brings us close to an interesting milestone - ransomware attacks, in their current, enterprise-focused form, are almost a decade old. These attacks are so common today, it's impossible to report on all of them. There are signs of hope, however - ransomware payments are significantly down. There are also signs defenders are getting more resilient, and are recovering more quickly from these attacks. Today, with Intel471's Mike Mitchell, we'll discuss what defenders need to know to protect against today's ransomware attacks. He'll share some stories and anecdotes from his experiences with customers. He'll also share some tips, and tricks for successful hunts, and how to catch attacks before even your tools trigger alerts. Segment Resources: https://intel471.com/blog/how-ransomware-may-trend-in-2025 And now, for something completely different! I've always urged the importance for practitioners to understand the underlying technology that they're challenged with defending. When we're yelling at the Linux admins and DevOps folks to "just patch it", what does that process entail? How do those patches get applied? When and how are they released in the first place? This is often one of the sticking points when security folks get nervous about "going open source", as if 90% of the code in their environments doesn't already come from some open source project. It's a legitimate concern however - without a legal contract, and some comfort level that a paid support team is actually going to fix critical vulnerabilities, how do we develop trust or a relationship with an open source project? In this interview, benny Vasquez, the Chair of the board of directors for AlmaLinux, will fill in some of the gaps for us, and help us understand how an open source project can not only be trusted, but in many cases may be more responsive to security teams' needs than a commercial vendor.

In 2011, Marc Andreessen predicted that software would eat the world. Specifically, the prediction was that software companies would take over the economy and disrupt all industries. The economic prediction has mostly come true, with 9 out of 10 of the most highly valued companies being tech companies. The industry disruption didn't materialize in some cases, and outright failed in others. Healthcare seems to be one of these 'disruption-resistant' areas. Ed joins us today to discuss why that might be, and what the paths towards securing the healthcare industry might look like.
