Segment 1: Erik Bloch Interview The math on SOC AI just isn't adding up. It's not easy to do the math, either, as each SOC automation vendor is tackling alert fatigue and SecOps assistants a bit differently. Fortunately for us and our audience, Erik Bloch met with many of these vendors at RSAC and is going to share what he learned with us! Segment 2: Enterprise Weekly News In this week's enterprise security news, 1. Some interesting new companies getting funding 2. Chainguard isn't unique anymore 3. AI slop coming to open source soon 4. Wiz dominance analysis 5. the IKEA effect in cybersecurity 6. LLM model collapse 7. vulnerabilities 8. DFIR reports 9. and fun with LinkedIn and prompt injection! Segment 3: RSAC Interviews runZero Interview with HD Moore Despite becoming a checkbox feature in major product suites, vulnerability management is fundamentally broken. The few remaining first-wave vulnerability scanners long ago shifted their investments and attention into adjacent markets to maintain growth, bolting on fragmented functionality that's added complexity without effectively securing today's attack surfaces. Meanwhile, security teams are left contending with massive blind spots and disparate tools that collectively fail to detect exposures that are commonly exploited by attackers. Our industry is ready for change. Jeff and HD explore the current state of vulnerability management, what's required to truly prevent real-world incidents, new perspectives that are challenging the status quo, and innovative approaches that are finally overcoming decades old problems to usher in a new era of vulnerability management.

Imprivata interview with Joel Burleson-Davis Organizations in mission-critical industries are acutely aware of the growing cyber threats, like the Medusa ransomware gang attacking critical US sectors, but are wary that implementing stricter security protocols will slow productivity and create new barriers for employees. This is a valid concern, but organizations should not accept the trade-off between the inevitability of a breach by avoiding productivity-dampening security measures, or the drop in employee productivity and rise in frustration caused by implementing security measures that might mitigate a threat like Medusa. In this conversation, Joel will discuss how organizations can build a robust security strategy that does not impede productivity. He will highlight how Imprivata's partnership with SailPoint enables stronger enterprise identity security while enhancing efficiency—helping organizations strike the right balance.

Guests: Eric Foster, CEO of Tenex.AI Venkata Koppaka, CTO of Tenex.AI  Topics: Why is your AI-powered MDR special? Why start an MDR from scratch using AI? So why should users bet on an “AI-native” MDR instead of an MDR that has already got its act together and is now applying AI to an existing set of practices?  What's the current breakdown in labor between your human SOC analysts vs your AI SOC agents? How do you expect this to evolve and how will that change your unit economics?  What tasks are humans uniquely good at today's SOC? How do you expect that to change in the next 5 years? We hear concerns about SOC AI missing things –but we know humans miss things all the time too. So how do you manage buyer concerns about the AI agents missing things?  Let's talk about how you're helping customers measure your efficacy overall. What metrics should organizations prioritize when evaluating MDR?  Resources: Video EP223 AI Addressable, Not AI Solvable: Reflections from RSA 2025 (quote from Eric in the title!)

Guest: Diana Kelley, CSO at Protect AI  Topics: Can you explain the concept of "MLSecOps" as an analogy with DevSecOps, with 'Dev' replaced by 'ML'? This has nothing to do with SecOps, right? What are the most critical steps a CISO should prioritize when implementing MLSecOps within their organization? What gets better  when you do it? How do we adapt traditional security testing, like vulnerability scanning, SAST, and DAST, to effectively assess the security of machine learning models? Can we? In the context of AI supply chain security, what is the essential role of third-party assessments, particularly regarding data provenance? How can organizations balance the need for security logging in AI systems with the imperative to protect privacy and sensitive data? Do we need to decouple security from safety or privacy? What are the primary security risks associated with overprivileged AI agents, and how can organizations mitigate these risks?  Top differences between LLM/chatbot AI security vs AI agent security?  Resources: “Airline held liable for its chatbot giving passenger bad advice - what this means for travellers” “ChatGPT Spit Out Sensitive Data When Told to Repeat ‘Poem' Forever” Secure by Design for AI by Protect AI “Securing AI Supply Chain: Like Software, Only Not” OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications OWASP Top 10 for AI Agents  (draft) MITRE ATLAS “Demystifying AI Security: New Paper on Real-World SAIF Applications” (and paper) LinkedIn Course: Security Risks in AI and ML: Categorizing Attacks and Failure Modes

Guests: No guests [Tim in Vegas and Anton remote] Topics: So, another Next is done. Beyond the usual Vegas chaos, what was the overarching security theme or vibe you [Tim] felt dominated the conference this year? Thinking back to Next '24, what felt genuinely different this year versus just the next iteration of last year's trends? Last year, we pondered the 'Cloud Island' vs. 'Cloud Peninsula'. Based on Next 2025, is cloud security becoming more integrated with general cyber security, or is it still its own distinct domain? What wider trends did you observe, perhaps from the expo floor buzz or partner announcements, that security folks should be aware of? What was the biggest surprise for you at Next 2025? Something you absolutely didn't see coming? Putting on your prediction hats (however reluctantly): based on Next 2025, what do you foresee as the major cloud security focus or challenge for the industry in the next 12 months? If a busy podcast listener listening could only take one key message or action item away from everything announced and discussed at Next 2025, what should it be?

In this interview, we're excited to speak with Pravi Devineni, who was into AI before it was insane. Pravi has a PhD in AI and remembers the days when machine learning (ML) and AI were synonymous. 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. Even with perfectly stable support from the institutions that catalog and label vulnerabilities from vendors, we'd still have some serious issues to address, like: disconnects between vulnerability analysts and asset owners gaps and issues in vulnerability discovery and asset management different options for workflows between security and IT: which is best? patching it like you stole it Oh, did we mention Matt built an open source vuln scanner? https://sirius.publickey.io/ In the enterprise security news, lots of funding, but no acquisitions? New companies new tools including a SecOps chrome plugin and a chrome plugin that tells you the price of enterprise software prompt engineering tips from google being an Innovation Sandbox finalist will cost you Security brutalism CVE dumpster fires and a heartwarming story about a dog, because we need to end on something happy!

In this episode, we sit down with the Co-Founder and CPO of Seemplicity, Ravid Circus, to discuss tackling the prioritization crisis in cybersecurity and how AI is changing vulnerability management.We dove into a lot of great topics, including:The massive challenge of not just finding and managing vulnerabilities but also remediation, with Seemplicity's Year in Review report finding organizations face 48.6 million vulnerabilities annually and only 1.7% of them are critical. That still means hundreds of thousands to millions of vulnerabilities need to be remedied - and organizations struggle with this, even with the context of what to prioritize.There's a lot of excitement around AI in Cyber, including in GRC, SecOps, and, of course, AppSec and vulnerability management. How do you discern between what is hype and what can provide real outcomes?What practical steps can teams take to bridge the gap between AI's ability to find problems and security teams' ability to fix them?One of the major issues is determining who is responsible for fixing findings in the space of Remediation Operations, where Seemplicity specializes. Ravid talks about how, both technically and culturally, Seemplicity addresses this challenge of finding the fixer.What lies ahead for Seemplicity this year with RSA and beyond

In this episode, we sit down with David Melamed and Shai Horovitz of the Jit team. We discussed Agentic AI for AppSec and how security teams use it to get real work done.We covered a lot of key topics, including:What some of the systemic problems facing AppSec are, even before the widespread adoption of AI, such as vulnerability prioritization, security technical debt and being outnumbered exponentially by Developers.The surge of interest and investment in AI and agentic workflows for AppSec, and why AppSec is an appealing space for this sort of investment and excitement.How the prior wave of AppSec tooling was focused on findings problems, riding the wave of shift left but how this has led to alert fatigue and overload, and how the next-era of AppSec tools will need to focus on not just finding but actually fixing problems.Some of the unique capabilities and features the Jit team has been working on, such as purpose-built agents in areas such as SecOps, AppSec and Compliance, as well as context-graphs with organizational insights to drive effective remediation.The role of Agentic AI and how it will help tackle some of the systemic challenges in the AppSec industry.Addressing concerns around privacy and security when using AI, by leveraging offerings from CSPs and integrating guardrails and controls to mitigate risks.

Guest: Henrique Teixeira, Senior VP of Strategy, Saviynt, ex-Gartner analyst Topics: How have you seen IAM evolve over the years, especially with the shift to the cloud, and now AI? What are some of the biggest challenges and opportunities these two shifts present?  ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) and ISPM (Identity Security Posture Management) are emerging areas in IAM. How do you see these fitting into the overall IAM landscape? Are they truly distinct categories or just extensions of existing IAM practices? Shouldn't ITDR just be part of your Cloud DR or maybe even your SecOps tool of choice? It seems goofy to try to stand ITDR on its own when the impact of an identity compromise is entirely a function of what that identity can access or do, no? Regarding workload vs. human identity, could you elaborate on the unique security considerations for each? How does the rise of machine identities and APIs impact IAM approaches?

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.

In this episode, we sit down with Lior Div and Nate Burke of 7AI to discuss Agentic AI, Service-as-Software, and the future of Cybersecurity. Lior is the CEO/Co-Founder of 7AI and a former CEO/Co-Founder of Cybereason, while Nate brings a background as a CMO with firms such as Axonius, Nagomi, and now 7AI.Lior and Nate bring a wealth of experience and expertise from various startups and industry-leading firms, which made for an excellent conversation.We discussed:The rise of AI and Agentic AI and its implications for cybersecurity.Why the 7AI team chose to focus on SecOps in particular and the importance of tackling toil work to reduce cognitive overload, address workforce challenges, and improve security outcomes.The importance of distinguishing between Human and Non-Human work, and why the idea of eliminating analysts is the wrong approach.Being reactive and leveraging Agentic AI for threat hunting and proactive security activities.The unique culture that comes from having the 7AI team in-person on-site together, allowing them to go from idea to production in a single day while responding quickly to design partners and customer requests.Challenges of building with Agentic AI and how the space is quickly evolving and growing.Key perspectives from Nate as a CMO regarding messaging around AI and getting security to be an early adopter rather than a laggard when it comes to this emerging technology.Insights from Lior on building 7AI compared to his previous role, founding Cybereason, which went on to become an industry giant and leader in the EDR space.

In this episode, we sit down with Investor, Advisor, Board Member, and Cybersecurity Leader Chenxi Wang to discuss the interaction of AI and Cybersecurity, what Agentic AI means for Services-as-a-Software, as well as security in the boardroomChenxi and I covered a lot of ground, including:When we discuss AI for Cybersecurity, it is usually divided into two categories: AI for Cybersecurity and Securing AI. Chenxi and I walk through the potential for each and which one she finds more interesting at the moment.Chenxi believes LLMs are fundamentally changing the nature of software development, and the industry's current state seems to support that. We discussed what this means for Developers and the cybersecurity implications when LLMs and Copilots create the majority of code and applications.LLMs and GenAI are currently being applied to various cybersecurity areas, such as SecOps, GRC, and AppSec. Chenxi and I unpack which areas AI may have the greatest impact on and the areas we see the most investment and innovation in currently.As mentioned above, there is also the need to secure AI itself, which introduces new attack vectors, such as supply chain attacks, model poisoning, prompt injection, and more. We cover how organizations are currently dealing with these new attack vectors and the potential risks.The biggest buzz of 2025 (and beyond) is Agentic AI or AI Agents, and their potential to disrupt traditional services work represents an outsized portion of cybersecurity spending and revenue. Chenxi envisions a future where Agentic AI and Services-as-a-Software may change what cyber services look like and how cyber activities are conducted within an organization.If you aren't already following Chenxi Wang on LinkedIn, I strongly recommend you do. I have a lot of connections, but she is someone when I see a post, I am sure to stop and read because she shares a TON of great insights from the boardroom, investment, cyber, startups, AI, and more.I'm thankful to have her on the show to come chat!

We've got a few compelling topics to discuss within SecOps today. First, Tim insists it's possible to automate a large amount of SecOps work, without the use of generative AI. Not only that, but he intends to back it up by tracking the quality of this automated work with an ISO standard unknown to cybersecurity. I've often found useful lessons and wisdom outside security, so I get excited when someone borrows from another, more mature industry to help solve problems in cyber. In this case, we'll be talking about Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL), an ISO standard quality assurance framework that's never been used in cyber. Segment Resources: Introducing AQL for cyber.

SecOps continues to be one of the most challenging areas of cybersecurity. It involves addressing alert fatigue, minimizing dwell time and meantime-to-respond (MTTR), automating repetitive tasks, integrating with existing tools, and leading to ROI.In this episode, we sit with Grant Oviatt, Head of SecOps at Prophet Security and an experienced SecOps leader, to discuss how AI SOC Analysts are reshaping SecOps by addressing systemic security operations challenges and driving down organizational risks.Grant and I dug into a lot of great topics, such as:Systemic issues impacting the SecOps space include alert fatigue, triage, burnout, staffing shortages, and inability to keep up with threats.What makes SecOps such a compelling niche for Agentic AI, and what key ways can AI help with these systemic challenges?How Agentic AI and platforms such as Prophet Security can aid with key metrics such as SLOs or meantime-to-remediation (MTTR) to drive down organizational risks.Addressing the skepticism around AI, including its use in production operational environments and how the human-in-the-loop still plays a critical role for many organizations.Many organizations are using Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers as well, and how Agentic AI may augment or replace these existing offerings depending on the organization's maturity, complexity, and risk tolerance.How Prophet Security differs from vendor-native offerings such as Microsoft Co-Pilot and the role of cloud-agnostic offerings for Agentic AI.

We've heard a ton of excitement about AI Agents, Agentic AI, and its potential for Cybersecurity. This ranges in areas such as GRC, SecOps, and Application Security (AppSec).That is why I was excited to sit down with Ghost Security Co-Founder/CEO Greg Martin.In this episode, we sit down with Ghost Security CEO and Co-Founder Greg Martin to chat about Agentic AI and AppSec. Agentic AI is one of the hottest trends going into 2025, and we will discuss what it is, its role in AppSec, and what system industry challenges it may help tackle.Greg and I chatted about a lot of great topics, including:The hype around Agentic AI and what makes AppSec, in particular, such a promising area and use case for AI to tackle longstanding AppSec challenges such as vulnerabilities, insecure code, backlogs, and workforce constraints.Greg's experience as a multi-time founder, including going through acquisitions, but what continues to draw him back to being a builder and operational founder.The challenges of historical AppSec tooling and why the time for innovation, new ways of thinking, and leveraging AI is due.Whether we think AI will end up helping or hurting more in terms of defenders and attackers and their mutual use of this promising technology.And much more, so be sure to tune in and check it out, as well as check out his team at Ghost Security and what they're up to!

In this episode, we will be sitting down with Filip Stojkovski and Dylan Williams to dive into AI, Agentic AI, and the intersection with cybersecurity, specifically Security Operations (SecOps).I've been following Filip and Dylan for a bit via LinkedIn and really impressed with their perspective on AI and its intersection with Cyber, especially SecOps. We dove into that in this episode including:What exactly Agentic AI and AI Agents are, and how they workWhat a Blueprint for AI Agents in Cybersecurity may look like, using their example in their blog with the same titleThe role of multi-agentic architectures, potential patterns, and examples such as Triage Agents, Threat Hunting Agents, and Response Agents and how they may work in unisonThe potential threats to AI Agents and Agentic AI architectures, including longstanding challenges such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Least-Permissive Access Control, Exploitation, and Lateral MovementThe current state of adoption across enterprises and the startup landscape and key considerations for CISO's and security leaders looking to potentially leverage Agentic SecOps products and offerings

Guest:  Travis Lanham, Uber Tech Lead (UTL) for Security Operations Engineering, Google Cloud Topics: There's been a ton of discussion in the wake of the three SIEM week about the future of SIEM-like products. We saw a lot of takes on how this augurs the future of disassembled or decoupled SIEMs. Can you explain what these disassembled SIEMs are all about? What are the expected upsides of detaching your SIEM interface and security capabilities from your data backend? Tell us about the early days of SecOps (nee Chronicle) and why we didn't go with this approach? What are the upsides of a tightly coupled datastore + security experience for a SIEM? Are there more risks or negatives of the decoupled/decentralized approach?  Complexity and the need to assemble “at home” are on the list, right? One of the 50 things Google knew to be true back in the day was that product innovation comes from technical innovation, what's the technical innovation driving decoupled SIEMs? So what about those security data lakes? Any insights? Resources: EP139 What is Chronicle?

Send us a textIn this episode, Ken and Mike discuss the pressing issue of staffing security in the DevSecOps field. They explore the challenges of finding qualified application security professionals, the importance of diverse backgrounds in security roles, and the paradox of understaffed security teams despite a high demand for cybersecurity jobs. The conversation also delves into strategies for mitigating staffing issues, such as empowering security champions within organizations, leveraging automation and tooling, and avoiding bottlenecks in security processes. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize the need for a balanced approach to security that considers both technical and human factors.

In this episode of the Hands-On IT podcast, host Landon Miles discusses the Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) Manifesto, emphasizing the need for collaboration between IT Operations (ITOps) and Security Operations (SecOps). He outlines the core principles of the AEM Manifesto: automation, proactive security, and data harmonization, and provides actionable steps for organizations to implement these principles effectively. The conversation highlights the importance of breaking down silos between teams to enhance security and efficiency in IT management. Links:  AEM Manifesto: aem-manifesto.org

This week, in the enterprise security news, A funding that looks like an acquisition And two for-sure acquisitions Rumors that there are funding problems for early stage cyber startups, and we'll see a lot more acquisitions before the end of the year Speaking of rumors, Crowdstrike did NOT like last week's Action1 acquisition rumor! Shortening detection engineering feedback loops HoneyAgents More reflections on Black Hat 2024 The attacker does NOT just have to get it right once and the defender does NOT have to get it right every time Remember BEC scams? Yeah, they're still enterprise enemy #1 All that and more, in the news this week on Enterprise Security Weekly! SquareX With employees spending most of their working hours on the browser, web attacks are one of the biggest attack vectors today. Yet, both enterprises and security vendors today aren't focused on securing the browser – a huge risk given that attackers can easily bypass Secure Web Gateways, SASE and SSE solutions. This segment will demonstrate the importance of a browser-native solution, discuss the limitations of current solutions and how enterprises can better protect their employees from web attacks.
