Podcasts about vulnerabilities

I've spent years talking about endpoint security, yet printers rarely enter the conversation. Today, that blind spot takes center stage. I'm joined by Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, to unpack why printers now represent one of the most exposed corners of the enterprise and what can be done about it. Jim's team protects fleets that range from a few hundred devices to tens of thousands, and the picture he paints is stark. In many organizations, printers make up 20 to 30 percent of endpoints, and almost all of them are left in a factory default state. That means open ports, default passwords, and little to no monitoring. Pair that with the sensitive data printers receive, process, and store, plus the privileged connections they hold to email and file servers, and you start to see why attackers love them. We trace Symphion's path from a configuration management roots story in 1999 to a pivot in 2015 when a major printer manufacturer invited the company behind the curtain. What they found was a parallel universe to mainstream IT. Brand silos, disparate operating systems, and a culture that treated printers as cost items rather than connected computers. Add in the human factor, where technicians reset devices to factory defaults after service as second nature, and you have a recipe for recurring vulnerabilities that never make it into a SOC dashboard. Jim explains how Symphion's Print Fleet Cybersecurity as a Service tackles this mess with cross-brand software, professional operations, and proven processes delivered for a simple per-device price. The model is designed to remove operational burden from IT teams. Automated daily monitoring detects drift, same-day remediation resets hardened controls, and comprehensive reporting supports regulatory needs in sectors like healthcare where compliance is non-negotiable. The goal is steady cyber hygiene for printers that mirrors what enterprises already expect for servers and PCs, without cobbling together multiple vendor tools, licenses, and extra headcount to operate them. We also talk about the hidden costs of DIY printer security. Licensing multiple management platforms for different brands, training staff who already have full plates, and outages caused by misconfigurations all add up. Jim shares real-world perspectives from organizations that tried to patch together a solution before calling in help. The pattern is familiar. Costs creep. Vulnerabilities reappear. Incidents push the topic onto the CISO's agenda. Symphion's pitch is straightforward. Treat print fleets like any other class of critical infrastructure in the enterprise, and measure outcomes in risk reduction, time saved, and fewer surprises. If you are commuting while listening and now hearing alarm bells, you are not alone. Think about the printers scattered across your offices and clinics. Consider the data that passes through them every day. Then picture an attacker who finds default credentials in minutes and uses a printer to move across your network.  Tune in for a fast, practical look at a risk hiding in plain sight, and learn how Symphion's Print Fleet Cybersecurity as a Service can help you close a gap that attackers know too well. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Why are nearly all American homes built out of wood when most of the world uses brick, steel, or concrete? In Part I of our conversation Architect Jeana Ripple, author of The Type V City, explains how the U.S.'s reliance on light wood framing—known as Type V construction—became the national default. She breaks down the benefits (affordability, flexibility, sustainability) and the hidden risks (mold, storm damage, limited adaptability) that slowly shape the country's homes, neighborhoods, cities, and built environment. This conversation reveals how building codes and materials influence urban life far more than most of us realize.Jeana Ripple is the Chair of the Department of Architecture and the Vincent and Eleanor Shea Professor at the University of Virginia.

Two sophisticated ransomware groups, Akira and Lynx, are increasingly targeting managed service providers (MSPs) and small businesses by exploiting stolen credentials and vulnerabilities. Together, they have compromised over 365 organizations, with Akira targeting major firms like Hitachi Vantara and Lynx focusing on critical infrastructure, including a CBS affiliate in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Both groups utilize double extortion tactics, combining file encryption with data theft to pressure victims into paying ransoms. This shift in tactics highlights the evolving threat landscape for MSPs and small businesses.In response to the growing cybersecurity threats, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released Thorium, an open-source platform designed for malware and forensic analysis. Thorium can automate tasks and process over 10 million files per hour, empowering IT professionals without in-house malware analysis capabilities to conduct effective preliminary analyses. This tool aims to enhance cybersecurity operations and better manage risks associated with complex malware threats.Additionally, SonicWall has issued a warning to its customers to disable SSL Virtual Private Network (VPN) services due to active ransomware attacks targeting its systems. Meanwhile, Google's AI-powered bug hunter, Big Sleep, has identified 20 security vulnerabilities in popular open-source software, raising concerns about the reliability of AI-generated bug reports. A newly discovered prompt injection vulnerability in Google's Gemini AI chatbot poses serious security risks, enabling attackers to craft convincing phishing campaigns without relying on links or attachments.The podcast also discusses the alarming rise in cybersecurity incidents, particularly social engineering attacks, which have tripled in the first half of 2025. A report from Level Blue indicates that social engineering now accounts for 39% of initial access incidents, with fake CAPTCHA schemes rising dramatically. Furthermore, the report highlights the risks associated with unauthorized AI tool usage, revealing that 97% of organizations lack adequate access controls, exposing sensitive data to potential threats. This underscores the need for organizations to strengthen their defenses and educate users on emerging threats. Four things to know today00:00 Attackers Up Their Game: Ransomware Hits MSPs, SonicWall Vulnerable, and Google's AI Found Exploitable05:53 Social Engineering Surges as Shadow AI Breaches Drive Up Cyber Costs and Risk Exposure08:35 Neglected Tech, Rising Risk: Email and Printers Still Expose Businesses to Modern Threats11:04 From Ransomware to Retirements: Vendor Shifts Reveal Risks and Realignment in the IT Channel This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ Tell us about a newsletter! https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

A recent report by Auvik reveals significant challenges faced by managed service providers (MSPs), highlighting issues such as tool sprawl, burnout among IT professionals, and the increasing reliance on IT generalists. The report indicates that 50% of MSPs use over ten tools to manage client networks, with many professionals experiencing high levels of stress and burnout. The ongoing retirement of baby boomers in the IT sector exacerbates these issues, leading to a demand for specialists who can assist generalists in navigating the complexities of technology. Key areas of interest for IT professionals include cybersecurity planning and cloud computing, as they seek to enhance productivity and user experience.In addition to the challenges faced by MSPs, two significant cybersecurity incidents have come to light. Kaseya's Network Detective tool was found to have critical vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive data across managed environments. Similarly, a flaw in McDonald's chatbot job application platform compromised the personal information of over 64 million applicants due to weak security measures. These incidents underscore the importance of robust vendor security practices, as clients often hold their MSPs accountable for data breaches, regardless of the source.The podcast also discusses the ongoing struggle for right-to-repair legislation, which has seen limited enforcement despite public support. A report indicates that many products lack accessible repair materials, and manufacturers continue to resist changes that would facilitate repairs. This situation presents an opportunity for service firms to incorporate repairability into their procurement strategies and asset management services, aligning with client values around sustainability and cost control.Finally, Sonomi has launched new tools aimed at enhancing business impact analysis and continuity planning for cybersecurity professionals. These tools are designed to help MSPs communicate the business value of cybersecurity to leadership, shifting the perception of security from a cost center to a value driver. The success of these initiatives will depend on MSPs' ability to integrate these features into their service delivery, ultimately positioning them as strategic partners who understand both technology and business needs. Four things to know today 00:00 Auvik Report Warns MSPs of Tool Sprawl, Talent Drain, and Rising Burnout04:10 Kaseya and McDonald's Incidents Reveal Fragile Trust in Vendor Security Practices07:01 Manufacturers Withhold Parts, Manuals Despite State-Level Repair Rights Legislation08:40 Cynomi Adds Business Impact and Continuity Planning Tools to Help MSPs Drive Strategic Outcomes This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ ThreatDown Webinar:  https://bit.ly/threatdown  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
