  • Cyber News Without Hype

    This is a Canadian pod, which is why I began to listen. I like a variety of perspectives on what’s going on in the world of cybersecurity. I find both Shipley and Love to be thoughtful and sincere, and I like that there’s no distracting music. Highly recommend.

  • Fantastic!

    Timely security info in this fast-moving era! These hosts are true cyber security experts.

    Highly recommend!

    To critics, the current USA administration has dismantled some oversight agencies, and fired some cyber security experts. Not smart. Sometimes political party actions are important to cyber security news. Deal with it.

  • Spammed with “Bonus” (Bogus) Content

    I actually *love* this show, it’s in my top 5. However, I was amazed to start seeing absolutely irrelevant “Bonus” podcasts starting to show up instead of the actual podcast I subscribed to! I thought they got hacked. This is the literal intro to one of their >1hr long bonus shows: “90% of Pregnant People Are Missing THIS Nutrient (Follow THIS Simple Diet…”

Seriously, on a cybersecurity show? lol. Talk about spam! More like “Bogus” content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Surviving and thriving in the AI Vulnpocalypse
Q: What lessons can we draw from past vulnerability disclosures and security civilizations?
The discussion highlights the value of coordinated vulnerability disclosure, the dangers of punitive attitudes toward researchers, and the need to maintain a constructive relationship between researchers and large organizations to improve security culture.
Surviving and thriving in the AI Vulnpocalypse
Q: How should regulation balance enabling defense while not hindering innovation?
She argues that regulation should monitor and constrain dangerous AI behavior without crushing open-weight models, and emphasizes practical measures like real-time monitoring and third-party testing as part of safer deployment.
Surviving and thriving in the AI Vulnpocalypse
Q: What is going on out there right now with AI vulnerabilities and model behavior?
The guest explains that frontier and open-weight models are pushing capabilities beyond what defenders can easily contain, and the landscape will be chaotic for years as stakeholders learn to triage, patch, and regulate effectively.
How Varonis hacks AIs into snitching on themselves
Q: How important is human supervision in AI security research according to the discussion?
Human-AI collaboration is essential; AI speeds up analysis but humans provide guidance, context, and ethical framing to ensure discoveries are novel and responsibly pursued, preventing overreliance on automated outputs.
How Varonis hacks AIs into snitching on themselves
Q: What is the AI vulnerability triad, and how can organizations prepare for it?
The triad—enter, evade, escape—describes how attackers first inject prompts, then evade guardrails, and finally make the AI break out to exfiltrate data; organizations should implement strict access controls, continuous monitoring, and robust sandboxing to mitigate each stage.
