**New episode drops Friday, August 21**ENCORE PRESENTATION Back in January 2001, six influential Alberta conservatives sent then premier Ralph Klein the now famous 'firewall letter.' Under the heading 'Alberta Agenda,' the letter proposed withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan, establishing a provincial police force, bypassing the Canada Revenue Agency in favour of the province collecting its own income tax, and Senate reform. These ideas were seen as fringe. Extremist even. But with the passage of time, some of the key measures in the firewall letter have influenced conservative policy in Alberta, and are now being set in motion 25 years later by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.This week, West of Centre host Kathleen Petty gets the inside story on the firewall letter, straight from two of its signatories. Ted Morton, an executive fellow at the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy and a former PC cabinet minister; and Ken Boessenkool, a longtime policy advisor who worked with former prime minister Stephen Harper (credited as the catalyst for the letter, and another one of its six signatories).These insiders describe how the hostile reaction to the letter came as a surprise, as the ideas contained in the letter were things other provinces were already doing. They talk about the visceral reaction 25 years ago to the word 'firewall,' and how it came to be added to the letter. And how the nine questions on a referendum that Albertans will vote on in the fall is seen as 'anti-firewall letter.'Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Ken Boessenkool, Ted MortonProducer: Diane Yanko

This week we are joined by Michael Collins, Principal Consulting Solutions Architect at Barracuda, to explain what a web application firewall (WAF) is and how it differs from a network firewall. Along with Nate, CIT's Director of Cybersecurity, we explore how WAFs help defend websites, web apps, and APIs against threats like injection, bot attacks, brute force attempts, and DDoS, especially as AI “vibe coding” leads to insecure public-facing applications. The episode covers choosing basic vs enterprise-grade WAF protection based on business criticality and sensitive data, tuning to reduce false positives using detect vs block modes and staged deployment, visibility into daily attacks, geofencing and IP blocking, and how WAFs support compliance efforts like PCI and HIPAA as part of a broader security strategy.00:27 What Is a WAF03:58 Defining Web Apps07:41 APIs and Vibe Coding Risks11:12 Choosing the Right WAF14:31 Tuning and False Positives20:52 Onboarding Detect to Block28:06 Compliance and Regulations31:48 Visibility and Geofencing38:13 DDoS Story and Wrap Up42:54 Testing and Deployment Options46:35 Final Thanks and CTACheck out more from Barracuda

Episode #573: “I brought you here to the United States not so you could forget our homeland,” Salih Hudayar remembers his father telling him, “but so you could become educated and one day return to liberate our people and our country from the Chinese occupation.” Hudayar, now Foreign Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile, traces his political life to that instruction. Born in 1993 near Kashgar, he grew up amid tightening state control and left for the United States as a child after his father fled repression. He situates the current crisis within a longer history that includes two short-lived East Turkistan republics before Communist consolidation in 1949. He describes a post-2009 escalation of surveillance, detention, and forced labor under the banner of counterterrorism. Citing Chinese government documents and satellite imagery, he argues that mass internment, religious repression, family separation, and demographic engineering amount to genocide. Now based in Washington DC, Hudayar presses U.S. lawmakers to move beyond condemnation. Recognition of genocide, he says, is not enough without confronting what he calls the root problem of colonial rule. Running a government in exile, dispersed across continents and sustained by diaspora donations, requires coordination, discipline, and constant vigilance against external pressure. Myanmar surfaces repeatedly in the interview as both comparison and caution. Hudayar draws parallels between the Rohingya genocide case and his own effort to bring a complaint before the International Criminal Court, noting that the Rohingya precedent shaped the jurisdictional argument he pursued. He also references Myanmar's strategic importance to China's Belt and Road Initiative, particularly access to the western coast and energy corridors that could reduce Beijing's vulnerability in the Strait of Malacca. At a broader level, he frames the Uyghur and Myanmar struggles as linked by geography and power politics—both situated along China's periphery, both affected by Beijing's economic leverage and security influence, and both navigating how global powers respond when human rights concerns collide with strategic interests.

De rechter in Rotterdam buigt zich vandaag over de rechtszaak van Solvinity, het bedrijf achter DigiD, tegen de Nederlandse staat. Solvinity wil het verbod op de overname door het Amerikaanse Kyndryl laten schorsen, terwijl staatssecretaris Aerdts en Bureau Toetsing Investeringen juist het publieke belang en de bescherming van gevoelige burgerdata willen waarborgen. Journalistiek platform The Firewall, onder leiding van Eric Smit, sluit zich als partij aan in de zaak om de risico’s van Amerikaanse controle over DigiD te benadrukken. In Oekraïne intensiveert de oorlog rond Kiev en de Krim in aanloop naar de NAVO-top in Ankara. Russische raketaanvallen treffen woonwijken in Kiev, met meerdere doden en gewonden, terwijl Oekraïense aanvallen op de Krim leiden tot grootschalige stroomuitval en economische stilstand, vooral voor bedrijven zonder benzine. Tegelijkertijd melden Russische autoriteiten dat Oekraïense drones zijn neergehaald op weg naar Moskou, terwijl een voorgestelde lokale gevechtspauze rond Kostiantynivka niet doorgaat. Beleggers in Nederland en België worstelen met de hoge waardering van AI-aandelen ondanks blijvend vertrouwen in de technologie. Uit onderzoek van online broker Lynx blijkt dat 72% van de beleggers de koersen van AI-gerelateerde aandelen als (te) hoog inschat, al blijven chipbedrijven als ASML en Micron Technology populair vanwege sterke winstgroei. Big Tech staat onder druk door omvangrijke investeringen, terwijl andere sectoren zoals energie en grondstoffen juist minder in trek zijn, mede door gedaalde olieprijzen.

Jetzt habt ihr euer NAS, um eure Dateien lokal zu speichern statt bei Google Drive, OneDrive oder Dropbox. Aber wie denn nun konkret? Bindet man den Netzwerkspeicher einfach als SMB-Share ein? Installiere ich umständlich eine Nextcloud? Bringt das NAS vielleicht was mit, beispielsweise Qsync von Qnap? Und was können diese Peer-2-Peer-Lösungen wie Syncthing, Resilio und Seafile? Oder machen Localsend und KDE Connect den ganzen Kram nicht viel einfacher? Im Podcast gehen die c't-Redakteure Niklas Dierking, Stefan Porteck und Jörg Wirtgen diese Fragen durch. Zuerst die einfachste Lösung, ein Netzwerk-Share. Wir diskutieren die Vor- und Nachteile der gängigsten Protokolle SMB, NFS, Webdav und AFP und gehen dann auf die strukturellen Eigenschaften ein: Die Dateien liegen dann nicht lokal vor, sondern man benötigt ständig eine Netzwerkverbindung, und um von außerhalb des eigenen LANs zuzugreifen, muss beispielsweise der Router ein VPN- oder Wireguard-Netz aufspannen und man muss das irgendwie per DynDNS finden. Auch wie gut das auf dem Smartphone geht, erwähnen wir. Eine Alternative wäre, Nextcloud auf dem NAS zu installieren: Die Daten liegen dann lokal vor, allerdings benötigt man DynDNS und VPN weiterhin. Wir sind einerseits zufrieden damit, auch weil die meisten Nextcloud-Clients ganz gut mit virtuellen Dateien umgehen können (die nur auf Wunsch lokal gepuffert vorliegen). Andererseits haben wir alle drei Zuverlässigkeits- und Geschwindigkeitsprobleme mit Nextcloud festgestellt, vielleicht aber auch aufgrund zu schwachbrüstiger NAS-Geräte. Gerade wenn man einen Reverse Proxy benötigt, der den DynDNS-Namen innerhalb des LANs auf eine lokale IP umbiegt, damit Transfers nicht auf die Geschwindigkeit der Internet-Anbindung beschränkt sind, und wenn man das beispielsweise mit einem PiHole im Docker auf dem NAS löst, könnten einige NAS überfordert sein. Einen interessanten Tipp brachte Niklas: OpenCloud ist ein abgespeckter Fork von Nextcloud, der vielleicht performanter läuft. Was auch einen Blick wert ist: Die Software, die das NAS mitbringt. Qnap beispielsweise kommt mit Qsync, was ein ähnlicher Dienst ist: Clients für Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS; die Clients verbinden sich im LAN automatisch direkt per IP; DynDNS über Qnap-Dienste eingebaut; virtuelle Dateien funktionieren einigermaßen. Weitere Alternativen sind Peer-2-Peer-Lösungen. Eigentlich synchronisieren sie Verzeichnisse zwischen zwei Geräten, die dazu eingeschaltet sein müssen. Auf den ersten Blick klingt es unpraktisch, extra seinen PC einschalten zu müssen, damit das Handy auf aktuellen Stand kommt. Aber der Trick beim NAS ist natürlich, dort einen Client permanent laufen zu lassen. Vorteil der Systeme: Sie fummeln sich von selbst durch die Firewall, sodass man keinen DynDNS benötigt, und der lokale Zugriff erfolgt automatisch schnell. Syncthing machte sich als solches Peer-2-Peer-System bei allen drei gut, auch weil es das für einige NAS als native Anwendung gibt. Allerdings fehlen virtuelle Dateien. Zur Sprache kommen auch die Alternativen Resilio Sync und Seafile.

Jetzt habt ihr euer NAS, um eure Dateien lokal zu speichern statt bei Google Drive, OneDrive oder Dropbox. Aber wie denn nun konkret? Bindet man den Netzwerkspeicher einfach als SMB-Share ein? Installiere ich umständlich eine Nextcloud? Bringt das NAS vielleicht was mit, beispielsweise Qsync von Qnap? Und was können diese Peer-2-Peer-Lösungen wie Syncthing, Resilio und Seafile? Oder machen Localsend und KDE Connect den ganzen Kram nicht viel einfacher? Im Podcast gehen die c't-Redakteure Niklas Dierking, Stefan Porteck und Jörg Wirtgen diese Fragen durch. Zuerst die einfachste Lösung, ein Netzwerk-Share. Wir diskutieren die Vor- und Nachteile der gängigsten Protokolle SMB, NFS, Webdav und AFP und gehen dann auf die strukturellen Eigenschaften ein: Die Dateien liegen dann nicht lokal vor, sondern man benötigt ständig eine Netzwerkverbindung, und um von außerhalb des eigenen LANs zuzugreifen, muss beispielsweise der Router ein VPN- oder Wireguard-Netz aufspannen und man muss das irgendwie per DynDNS finden. Auch wie gut das auf dem Smartphone geht, erwähnen wir. Eine Alternative wäre, Nextcloud auf dem NAS zu installieren: Die Daten liegen dann lokal vor, allerdings benötigt man DynDNS und VPN weiterhin. Wir sind einerseits zufrieden damit, auch weil die meisten Nextcloud-Clients ganz gut mit virtuellen Dateien umgehen können (die nur auf Wunsch lokal gepuffert vorliegen). Andererseits haben wir alle drei Zuverlässigkeits- und Geschwindigkeitsprobleme mit Nextcloud festgestellt, vielleicht aber auch aufgrund zu schwachbrüstiger NAS-Geräte. Gerade wenn man einen Reverse Proxy benötigt, der den DynDNS-Namen innerhalb des LANs auf eine lokale IP umbiegt, damit Transfers nicht auf die Geschwindigkeit der Internet-Anbindung beschränkt sind, und wenn man das beispielsweise mit einem PiHole im Docker auf dem NAS löst, könnten einige NAS überfordert sein. Einen interessanten Tipp brachte Niklas: OpenCloud ist ein abgespeckter Fork von Nextcloud, der vielleicht performanter läuft. Was auch einen Blick wert ist: Die Software, die das NAS mitbringt. Qnap beispielsweise kommt mit Qsync, was ein ähnlicher Dienst ist: Clients für Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS; die Clients verbinden sich im LAN automatisch direkt per IP; DynDNS über Qnap-Dienste eingebaut; virtuelle Dateien funktionieren einigermaßen. Weitere Alternativen sind Peer-2-Peer-Lösungen. Eigentlich synchronisieren sie Verzeichnisse zwischen zwei Geräten, die dazu eingeschaltet sein müssen. Auf den ersten Blick klingt es unpraktisch, extra seinen PC einschalten zu müssen, damit das Handy auf aktuellen Stand kommt. Aber der Trick beim NAS ist natürlich, dort einen Client permanent laufen zu lassen. Vorteil der Systeme: Sie fummeln sich von selbst durch die Firewall, sodass man keinen DynDNS benötigt, und der lokale Zugriff erfolgt automatisch schnell. Syncthing machte sich als solches Peer-2-Peer-System bei allen drei gut, auch weil es das für einige NAS als native Anwendung gibt. Allerdings fehlen virtuelle Dateien. Zur Sprache kommen auch die Alternativen Resilio Sync und Seafile.

The government just put an AI company inside the NSA. Not to defend networks. To help find ways into them. At the same time, more than 3 million Texans had their driver's license and passport data exposed through a third-party vendor, and attackers harvested credentials from 75,000 Fortinet firewalls around the world, then organized the victims by how much money they were likely worth. Three stories. One uncomfortable reality: *The most powerful security tools are being locked up while your biggest risks are still the basics.* On this episode of Security Squawk, Bryan Hornung, Randy Bryan, and Reginald Andre break down what business owners, executives, IT leaders, and MSPs need to understand about AI, vendor risk, and the growing gap between the tools governments get and the threats businesses still face every day. Story 1: Anthropic Inside the NSA The Financial Times reported that Anthropic, the company behind Claude, embedded engineers inside the NSA to deploy a frontier AI model called Mythos. The same company that was previously flagged as a supply chain risk is now helping deploy one of the most advanced cyber-focused AI systems in government. Anthropic says the model is too dangerous for broad release. That raises a bigger question: If the most capable AI tools are increasingly treated as national-security assets, what happens when the tools your business depends on become tools you can no longer access? Story 2: 3 Million Texans Exposed Through a Vendor The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department disclosed a breach affecting more than 3 million people after attackers compromised a third-party vendor responsible for hunting and fishing license systems. Exposed data reportedly includes: • Driver's license information • Passport numbers • Home addresses • Phone numbers • Email addresses Officials emphasize that Social Security numbers were not exposed. That's missing the point. A driver's license, passport, address, and contact information already provide everything many criminals need for identity theft, fraud, and account takeover. The lesson is simple: Your security is only as strong as the vendors holding your data. Story 3: 75,000 Fortinet Firewalls Compromised Researchers disclosed a campaign that harvested administrator and VPN credentials from roughly 75,000 Fortinet firewalls across 194 countries. The attackers didn't just collect passwords. They categorized victims by: • Country • Industry • Company size • Estimated revenue In other words, they built a target list. Researchers say the infrastructure remains active and continues collecting credentials. If your organization uses Fortinet equipment, this is not a "someday" problem. This is a this-week problem. In This Episode • Why Anthropic's NSA deployment matters to every business using AI • Whether cybersecurity will become the justification for restricting advanced AI capabilities • How a third-party vendor exposed more than 3 million Texans • Why "no Social Security numbers were stolen" is often the wrong question • How attackers harvested credentials from 75,000 Fortinet devices • The immediate actions Fortinet customers should take • Why cybersecurity still comes down to fundamentals, even as AI transforms the battlefield The Bottom Line Most businesses worry about futuristic threats. Meanwhile, attackers are still winning through vendors, passwords, exposed systems, and concentration risk. The technology is changing fast. The fundamentals are not. Security Squawk is a weekly podcast and livestream focused on cybersecurity, business risk, ransomware, AI, vendor risk, and executive decision-making.

In this episode of The Other Side of the Firewall, hosts Ryan, Shannon, and Chris dissect a trending security report detailing how a low-skilled attacker easily hijacked a Claude AI instance to breach 14 companies by simply tricking the AI's guardrails. The team then shifts gears to discuss a new Senate NDAA proposal offering up to $100,000 in CMMC grants to help small defense contractors manage the steep costs of compliance, followed by a fiery debate on whether the rise of part-time, "fractional" CISOs is a smart budget move or a dangerous trend fueled by executive burnout and SEC liability fears. Finally, the crew decompresses by sharing their recent personal highlights, diving into everything from Italian cheese wheels and intense kettlebell training to the latest anime and running Cyberpunk 2077 via cloud gaming.

For years, cybersecurity leaders have focused on identity as the new perimeter. MFA, Zero Trust, SSO, and identity protection became the center of modern security strategies.But while everyone was focused on identity, attackers never stopped targeting something much older: internet-facing infrastructure.VPNs. Firewalls. Remote access appliances.Recent attacks involving Check Point, Fortinet, Ivanti, SonicWall, and others show that the perimeter never really disappeared.In this episode, Tyler Moffitt discusses why edge devices remain prime ransomware targets, why patch windows matter more than ever, and why vulnerability management remains one of cybersecurity's most important fundamentals.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com
As enterprises expand across multiple cloud environments, on-premise data centers, and dynamic AI workloads, traditional perimeter defenses and siloed cloud-native tools are no longer enough to secure the modern network. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Murali Rathinasamy, Senior Director of Product at Cisco, to break down the next evolution of network security: the Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Murali explains why relying solely on cloud-native firewalls can create visibility gaps, and how unified policy orchestration allows security teams to manage enforcement points seamlessly. He shares a real-world case study of how Multicloud Defense is used to eliminate manual route table configurations and achieve zero-downtime, blue-green upgrades. The conversation also tackles micro-segmentation. Murali breaks down why segmentation initiatives usually stall in "analysis paralysis" and provides a practical, agentless roadmap to reduce your attack surface "one bite at a time".

There is a moment in every conversation about cybercrime when the criminal stops being a shadow and becomes a person with a desk, a calendar, and a complaint about Monday. That moment is the one that interests me. For years I've been told cybersecurity is a technical problem. Firewalls, patches, acronyms nobody outside the room understands. And it is, partly. But sit with Geoff White for fifteen minutes at InfoSecurity Europe and the technical layer becomes what it always was underneath: people. People who get out of bed, argue with their partners, drink too much vodka after a breakup, and worry about a grandmother in the hospital — while running an extortion racket that, somewhere else, is shutting down the hospital treating someone else's grandmother. Geoff is an investigative journalist and author who has built a career out of refusing to let crime stay abstract. His new BBC series, Cyber Hack — the strand that grew out of The Lazarus Heist — turns its attention to one of the world's biggest ransomware gangs, Conti. And here is the detail that stayed with me: he has read their mail. Three hundred thousand internal messages, leaked, written by the criminals themselves when they assumed no one was watching. A journalist's candy store, as he called it. Also a nightmare — in Russian, thick with slang, mistranslated so often that “Bitcoin” comes out as “cue ball” and money hides behind the word for “grandmothers.” What fascinates me is not the heist. It is the self-portrait. Because the gang does not see a gang. They see a company. They have clients, they say. Customers. Negotiations conducted professionally. Some of them even hand the victim a report afterward — here is how we got in, here is what you should fix — as though extortion were a security audit with an invoice attached. Geoff has a theory I find hard to argue with: extortion is exhausting work for a smart person to do every day, so the brain quietly rewrites the job description. Criminal becomes businessman. The part that knows the truth shrinks. The story they tell themselves takes over. I'm Italian, so of course The Godfather arrived uninvited in the middle of our conversation. It's a business. Nothing personal. We laughed — I get to make that joke and Geoff doesn't — but underneath the laugh is something genuinely unsettling, and it has nothing to do with hackers. It's about all of us. We are all narrating ourselves into the people we'd prefer to be. The ransomware gang simply does it with higher stakes and worse intentions. This is why storytelling isn't decoration on top of cybersecurity. It's the only tool that makes the invisible visible. Geoff's last BBC series landed at number seven on the US charts, a few slots below Joe Rogan, because he tells these stories as stories — with the technical iceberg sitting safely below the waterline. People learn when they aren't being lectured. And we should learn, quickly. The same week I'm laughing about cue balls, Geoff describes cloning his own mother's voice with an AI tool and phoning her. She thought the line was just a little muffled. I told him what I tell my parents: if anything feels strange, hang up and call me directly. A pre-digital instinct, used as armor against a very digital trick. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? We carry the stories. We leave behind the comfortable idea that any of this is happening somewhere else, to someone else. The new season of Cyber Hack is expected in July. Listen to it — not because it will scare you, though it might, but because it makes a hidden world legible, and legibility is where every defense we have begins.

Most independent practice owners know the practice and their personal life are supposed to be separate. Separate entities, separate accounts, separate tax returns. Almost none of them have built the structural separation that makes that true when things get hard. EP185 covers the three systems that explain why one bad quarter in the practice becomes a personal financial event, and the firewall that stops it. System 1 — The Entanglement: No formal salary. No distribution schedule. Whatever is left in the business account goes home with the owner. In a good month: $40,000. Mortgage, 529, investment contribution. In a bad month: $14,000, covered with personal savings. The savings account does not come back as fast as the practice does. System 2 — The Bad Quarter Multiplier: The cascade that runs from a billing disruption straight through to the owner's personal financial decisions. Collections drop. Distribution skipped. Mortgage still goes out. Investment contribution paused. Operational decisions made under financial stress — delay the hire, pull back on marketing, hold off on the software upgrade that would have fixed the billing gap that caused the problem. That practice is always one bad quarter away from making decisions a wealthier version of itself would never make. The Cascade in Numbers: Payer delays 45+ days → Operating account drops → Owner stops paying themselves first Denial rate spikes 5% to 14% → $28K/month delayed or lost → Personal savings tapped for household bills Key provider unexpected leave → Volume drops 30% → No distribution for 60 days Contract renegotiation stalls → 90 days cash flow uncertainty → Investment contributions paused indefinitely System 3 — The Firewall: A market-rate owner salary that does not move with revenue. A distribution schedule tied to net profit after a defined reserve threshold. Personal savings that build independent of what the practice has on hand. In a bad quarter: the salary still goes out, the distribution pauses, and the operational decisions come from strategy instead of personal financial pressure. Referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz — the formula flip that makes the firewall mechanical.

Microsoft Build 2026 announced an end-to-end agentic AI stack. COMPUTEX Taipei confirmed heterogeneous AI infrastructure across ARM, Marvell, Intel, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA. Alphabet raised $80 billion. Cisco Live repositioned the network as the AI platform. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break it all down alongside earnings from Broadcom, HPE, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike, plus the token cost conversation, the edge AI push, and what Palantir and Oracle are saying about proprietary data as the real AI moat. The handpicked topics for this week are: Microsoft Build 2026 Announced an End-to-End Agentic AI Stack: Microsoft shipped MAI-Thinking-1, its first homegrown thinking model, alongside Scout, Microsoft IQ, Project Solara, and a Majorana 2 quantum update targeting a 2029 commercial timeline with claims of a 1,000x reliability gain. Pat describes MAI-Thinking-1 as likely better than Sonnet 4.6 in blind testing and delivering close to GPT 5.5 quality at a far lower cost. Scout is Microsoft's first autopilot agent, anchoring the M365 Agent Suite with Office Pilot Agent Mode and Agent 365. Microsoft IQ serves as the context layer, integrating M365, business data, boundary IQ, and web IQ with GitHub Copilot, Foundry, and Copilot Studio. Project Solara is a new Android-based platform built for agent-first devices across transportation, retail, and hospital settings. Microsoft also added 83 Unix commands to the Windows stack. Dan frames Microsoft's real play as distribution, not frontier model development, noting that the open model ecosystem being pulled into the platform will matter more to CFOs managing token costs at scale. (The Decode) The AI Stack Goes Multi-Silicon — COMPUTEX Taipei 2026 Confirms Heterogeneous AI Infrastructure: ARM's AGI CPU is in production with Google moving its TPU head node to ARM, and adding Oracle and ByteDance as new customers. ARM also introduced a new switch, the TT100, and put the 51T CPO switch on stage. Marvell received a trillion-dollar company endorsement from Jensen Huang, adding $90 billion in market cap on the comment alone. Intel announced disaggregated inference details and Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest, its first 18A data center processor. Vista Equity and Cambium Capital announced a NeoCloud called Vector Core Compute, with Xeon 6 handling orchestration, Salmonova RUs handling decode, and Blackwell GPUs handling pre-fill. Qualcomm's Cristiano Amon announced the Dragonfly data center brand with Snapdragon C details coming at their June investor day. The WSTS raised the 2026 semiconductor TAM forecast by 90% to $1.51 trillion, with Pat noting the market could hit a trillion dollars if memory is excluded entirely. (The Decode) NVIDIA RTX Spark and the Edge AI Push: NVIDIA coordinated with ARM and Microsoft around the RTX Spark at COMPUTEX, with the shared message being that the future of Windows is here. Signal65's Ryan Shrout asked Jensen directly why NVIDIA wants to be in the PC business, given low margins and diminishing returns. Dan frames the answer in the context of devices increasingly becoming mobile data centers, capable of running models at much greater efficiency than cloud delivery. The edge AI conversation is also directly tied to token cost economics: as intelligence delivery moves closer to the device, the cost per token drops significantly. The jury is still out on whether NVIDIA will meaningfully disrupt the PC market, but its influence over OEMs like Lenovo and Dell that depend on it for data center gives it real leverage over SKUs. (The Decode) Token Economics and Frontier Model Cost Pressure: Dan and Pat discuss a substantive shift in how enterprises are thinking about AI consumption costs. Dan argues that "token maxing," the practice of defaulting to the most powerful frontier model for every task, has now effectively peaked, as bills have come due at scale. Companies paying for tokens in volume are starting to question whether they can afford the prices that frontier models actually cost to deliver. Pat pushes back, saying the dynamic is still present, but both analysts agree that the market is moving toward a model where token selection is matched to the job, with Microsoft's MOE approach and thinking models positioned to help CFOs manage that economics story. (The Decode) Continuum Goes Public at Highest Valuation for an AI Platform: Dan notes that Continuum, the Honeywell-spawned quantum company, went public this week at what he calls the highest valuation for an AI platform to date. He flags that IonQ will likely contest that characterization. The broader context is Microsoft entering the quantum conversation with Majorana 2 at Build, a name that has largely been absent from the quantum race, while IBM has received most of the attention. (The Decode) AI CapEx Has Outgrown Cash Flow — Alphabet's $80 Billion Equity Raise: On June 1, Alphabet announced an $80 billion equity capital raise, upsized to $85 billion, structured as $40 billion ATM, $30 billion underwritten, and a $10 billion private placement with Berkshire Hathaway anchoring. Pat frames the questions over CapEx returns as entirely dependent on whether you are an AI boomer or a doomer: if the payback comes, the raise is the right move. If it does not, the math doesn't close. Dan argues the investment is existential, drawing parallels to how infrastructure-first companies have always spent ahead of monetization, and notes that Google's equity is being used as a capital engine that may be more efficient than the debt markets right now. Both analysts flag the downstream implications for Broadcom, MediaTek, and Marvell given the TPU connection. (The Decode) The Network Becomes the AI Platform: Cisco Live 2026: Cisco launched Silicon One P200, the Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA and Spectrum X, AgenticOps, MCP-native automation, Cisco IQ, LiveProtect, and folded Astrix Security and Galileo into Splunk under one control plane. Pat identifies Cisco Cloud Control as the biggest announcement of the entire show, pulling together Catalyst, Meraki, Nexus, Firewall, and WebEx under agentic ops that run natively through MCP, with code running directly on smart switches that have x86 processors. Pat also credits Cisco for establishing Silicon One as a credible chip alternative for hyperscalers capable of taking on Tomahawk and Jericho. Dan frames the long-term opportunity as campus and branch enablement when industrial AI and robotics deployments accelerate, arguing that the numerator of AI's economic impact has barely started, as edge deployment spending has not yet begun. (The Decode) The Flip: Did Microsoft Build 2026 Effectively End the OpenAI Partnership? Pat argues the divorce decree has been filed. MAI-Thinking-1 was built with zero distillation from third-party models offering clean enterprise data lineage, with Maia 200 in production plus Anthropic chip supply, which signals vendor hedging. OpenAI is going all-in on AWS, which means you cannot be married to two people, and the full Build stack covering model, OS containment via MXC, agents via Scout and Agent 365, and context via Microsoft IQ removes every architectural dependency on OpenAI. Dan counters that Microsoft is hedging rather than leaving and predicts the partnership will run through the decade. Enterprise Copilot customers are explicitly showing in data that they demand GPT 5.5, internal benchmarks have not been independently validated, and Microsoft stands to make meaningful money from the OpenAI IPO. (The Flip) Broadcom Q2 FY26 Earnings: Broadcom posted revenue of $22.19 billion, a narrow miss depending on which consensus data set is used, with EPS of $2.44 beating estimates and AI semis at $10.8 billion. Hock Tan declined to raise the $100 billion full-year AI chip target, and the stock dropped 13% in premarket trading. Q3 guide came in at $29.4 billion. Pat calls the miss a timing issue driven by Google's multi-sourcing across Marvell, MediaTek, and Broadcom rather than a fundamental problem. Dan flags that Hock Tan opened the earnings call by accidentally reading from the 2025 print, calling it "not the best moment." Sell-side re-ratings held in the 500s across Jefferies, Mizuho, and Deutsche Bank despite the drop, with Futurum Equities having it at 600. (Bulls and Bears) Hewlett Packard Enterprise Q2 FY26 Earnings: HPE delivered revenue of $10.68 billion, up 40% year over year, and EPS of $0.79, up 100%. Juniper integration and AI servers both outperformed, and all FY26 guides were raised. The stock jumped 19% after hours before settling into a roughly 15% gain, with HPE up 68% over the last month. Pat frames HPE as a value play rather than a volume play, methodically targeting enterprise and sovereign cloud deals where it can maintain profitability, rather than competing for massive NeoCloud volume. Antonio Neri was clear on the call that the profitability pull-forward is a one-shot deal. Pat and Dan will both be at HPE Discover the week after next to interview Neri and the C-suite. (Bulls and Bears) Palo Alto Networks Q3 FY26 Earnings: Palo Alto posted revenue of $3.0 billion, up 31% year over year, beating the $2.94 billion estimate, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.85, beating the $0.79 to $0.81 range. NGS ARR reached $8.1 billion, up 60% year over year, including $1.6 billion from CyberArk and Chronosphere. RPO hit $18.4 billion, up 36%. Both FY26 revenue and EPS guides were raised. Adjusted FCF margin came in at 38.5% TTM, up 430 basis points. The stock jumped 11% immediately after hours, then drifted lower. Pat points to 2,200 platformized customers and 120% net retention as the most important metrics. Dan notes the SaaSpocalypse thesis continues to be wrong. (Bulls and Bears) CrowdStrike Q1 FY27 Earnings and the Proprietary Data Moat Argument: CrowdStrike posted revenue of $1.39 billion with EPS of $1.10 and ARR of $5.51 billion. Net new ARR of $255.8 million set a Q1 record, up 32% year over year. FY27 net new ARR guide was raised by $52 million to a $1.29 billion midpoint, and FY27 revenue was raised to $5.915 to $5.959 billion. A 4-for-1 stock split was announced effective July 2nd. The stock dropped 11% despite the beat after a 64% year-to-date run into earnings. Dan uses the results to make a broader argument against the software disruption thesis, referencing Palantir CEO Alex Karp daring customers to build without him using Anthropic or OpenAI, and Larry Ellison's argument that the real AI value unlock sits in proprietary enterprise data that is not accessible to frontier models. Enterprises with governed, secure, proprietary data will continue to need platforms like CrowdStrike regardless of what frontier models can do. (Bulls and Bears) Six Five Summit is coming.

Think online scams and shams are easily spotted? Welcome to the current year: AI and deepfakes make deception virtually indistinguishable from reality. Robert Siciliano, a world-class security analyst and strategist, reveals how hyper-realistic AI avatars, synthetic voice overlays, and emotionally manipulative scams are transforming the digital landscape—and why most of us are more vulnerable than ever before.In this eye-opening episode, Robert dives into the biological roots of trust and explains why our innate need to trust leaves us wide open to deception. You'll discover how scammers exploit the human blind spot—our default trust—and learn concrete strategies to recognize red flags, even when appearances feel perfectly convincing. We break down the neuroscience behind gut intuition, body language cues, and the subtle physiological signs that signal danger, plus how AI is enabling highly targeted, scalable scams that can deceive even the smartest among us.02:58 The Nature of Trust and Vulnerability06:08 Understanding Scams in the Digital Age09:03 The Importance of Self-Awareness12:14 Navigating Human Instincts and Deception15:11 The Role of Loneliness in Scams17:52 Real-Life Scam Stories21:01 The Mechanics of Romance Scams45:34 Understanding Scams and Vulnerabilities51:47 The Profile of Scam Victims54:14 Recognizing Risk and Building a Firewall01:02:43 Deception Detection Techniques01:10:28 Personal Stories and Lessons Learned01:13:52 Daily Routines and Personal Growth01:20:37 Actionable Takeaways for ListenersRead
Our guest today is Mike ter Maat. Mike has just released the book “Broken”. He is a PhD Economist and former Police Officer currently spearheading a strategic program to expand the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC). With a professional background that includes the White House Office of Management and Budget and over a decade in law enforcement, he specializes in identifying and fixing the structural failures within American institutions. Tell us about your new book, “Broken: How American Politics Is Driving Civil Unrest, Financial Collapse & War. Talk to us about the Republican Liberty Caucus. How do you see the "Liberty" wing of the party acting as a firewall against 2A overreach? With your experience at the White House Office of Management and Budget, what are the specific administrative "pressure points" that the RLC and the 2A community should be targeting for reform? You've been a PhD economist and a training officer on the streets. How does your book BROKEN explain the current rise in civil unrest, and why is a principled Republican movement the key to stopping it? You argue that our political incentives are broken. What is the first step a "Strategic Consultant" for the country would take to restore the rule of law and the right to self-defense? How do people follow you? Originally Aired 6.11.26

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick is joined by Robert Siciliano, a world-renowned security analyst, bestselling author, and the architect of the Strategic Human Firewall. While the industry often obsesses over technological solutions, Robert explores why humans—not hackers—remain the ultimate deciding factor in organizational security.The conversation dives deep into the "Human Blind Spot"—our biological instinct to trust that often overrides digital suspicion. Robert shares his unconventional journey from the streets of Boston to becoming a leading security educator, including the time he bought a working ATM on Craigslist to prove how easily data breaches can be purchased.We also explore the critical shift from "Security Awareness" to "Security Appreciation":The Compliance Trap: Why traditional phishing simulations and "check-the-box" training often lead to security fatigue and victim shaming.The Strategic Human Firewall: How to transform employees from passive targets into active detection layers by filtering intent rather than just traffic.The Kitchen Table Effect: Why the most effective security training is personal, encouraging employees to protect their families so they naturally protect their companies.Overcoming Fatalism: A direct look at why people resist security measures like password managers and home alarms, and how to bridge the "Appreciation Gap" through empathetic dialogue.

Working with Brian Greene, she's exploring whether the shape of hidden dimensions, specifically a Klein bottle, could explain why matter won the war against antimatter after the Big Bang — no fudged parameters required. The geometry does the work. The universe's lopsidedness isn't a mystery to be plugged in; it's a consequence of the space we're sewn into.

Interview with Jim Spignardo What does it take to build AI workflows that work? Why do so many fail? Jim isn't a typical ESW guest. I think it's essential for security folks to regularly step outside the security bubble and understand other perspectives and mindsets. That's what we're doing today with Jim. He specializes in building custom AI architecture and workflows for his clients. We discuss the state of AI in the enterprise and why so many of these efforts fail. We'll discuss the elements of AI success and whether security plays a role in helping AI efforts succeed or contribute to failures.

X-PHY Delivers Hardware-Enforced Security for the Age of AI Agents Camellia Chan, CEO and Co-Founder of X-PHY, discusses how Model Context Protocol (MCP) is making it easier for AI agents to plug into enterprise apps and operate with elevated permissions—creating new opportunities for attacks and data exfiltration. She explains how X-PHY's hardware-enforced monitoring and detection sit beyond the OS trust boundary to enforce immutable limits on what agents can do and stop threats before data is lost, so organizations can adopt agentic AI with confidence. Security leaders looking to deploy AI agents safely can request a demo or briefing with X-PHY at https://securityweekly.com/xphyrsac. RSAC Exec Interviews, Part 2 Introducing Legion Investigator: Goal-Oriented AI Investigations Traditional security playbooks often fail because they cannot capture the fluid, context-dependent reasoning required when a routine investigation hits a non-scripted "judgment point." Legion Investigator addresses this gap by employing goal-oriented AI agents that move beyond rigid scripts to interpret findings and execute complex, multi-step investigations based on your team's unique environment and expertise. By bridging the divide between automated execution and human-level reasoning, the platform ensures that every alert (no matter how unpredictable) is handled with the depth and consistency of a senior analyst.

The Missing Layer in Zero Trust: The Security Policy Control Plane Zero Trust has become the dominant security architecture for hybrid and cloud environments, but many organizations are discovering that deploying enforcement technologies alone does not deliver operational control. Firewalls, cloud security groups, and microsegmentation platforms enforce access decisions, yet the policies behind those controls are often fragmented, difficult to validate, and constantly changing. In this conversation, FireMon CEO Jody Brazil discusses why modern security architectures increasingly require a security policy control plane: a layer that continuously validates how policy is enforced across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation platforms. The discussion explores why policy drift occurs in real environments, how enforcement systems become difficult to coordinate at scale, and what organizations must do to ensure Zero Trust policies remain consistent as infrastructure evolves.

Is Mayor Mamdani's first hundred days as mayor a genuine reason for celebration, or just a decent start before the hard part kicks in? Bradley gives the mayor real credit for focusing on the operational stuff that actually matters to New Yorkers, but says that if he's serious about running this city, he should start making the case for bringing the subways and buses back under city control, the way Bloomberg brought the schools back under mayoral control in 2002. And he should stop banking on squeezing more out of the small group of high earners who already pay for almost everything, because when they leave, the people who suffer most are the ones he claims to be fighting for. Plus: Bradley opens up about joining Marijuana Anonymous, how the NBA can solve its tanking problem and why he has no regards for Broadway.Firewall nominated for a Webby!

Firewall policies are the heart of network security, but over time they can become a tangled mess. Rules might be outdated, or conflicting, or fail to address new applications, services, and risks. Add in remote locations and public cloud deployments, and you've got a serious headache for security and network teams. On today's sponsored show... Read more »
