  • Audio bro

    First off the content is good. And you know what you’re talking about. And I would enjoy listening to this podcast so much more if you could figure out the audio man. Some things are loud some things are too soft. It’s all over the place you never know what you’re gonna get day-to-day.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

🔴 Jun 25's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1161
Q: How has the shift toward ransomware as a service changed attacker infrastructure and lifecycle analysis?
Ransomware operators now emphasize quality over quantity, focusing on targeted compromises and long-term resilience of their infrastructure, while defenders must map attacker lifecycles and dependencies more precisely to disrupt these networks.
🔴 Jun 12's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1152
Q: What change is GitHub implementing to reduce NPM-based supply chain risks, and how should teams respond?
GitHub is turning off NPM install scripts by default and requiring explicit user approval before code execution, a change teams should plan for by adjusting their CI/CD pipelines and implementing explicit approvals when installing dependencies.
🔴 Jun 12's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1152
Q: What is the practical takeaway for security teams regarding the Fortinet Fortis Sandbox flaw and its CVSS score?
Treat it as a high-priority vulnerability and ensure alerting, patching, and validation processes are in place, as unauthenticated remote code execution presents a serious risk even if active exploitation isn't confirmed in every environment.
🔴 Jun 9's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1149
Q: What is your take on the rapid capabilities of Mythos to exploit disclosed vulnerabilities?
My take is that Mythos accelerates both vulnerability discovery and weaponization, which compresses the time to exploitation and makes it essential for organizations to embed resiliency and rapid patching into CI/CD workflows, not just rely on traditional defenses.
🔴 Jun 23's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1159
Q: What is your take on the Five Eyes warning about AI models and cyber threats?
I think it signals a legitimate concern that as AI capabilities grow, both offensive and defensive measures must scale quickly, and policy plus technical controls should evolve in tandem to avoid overreliance on any single tech or vendor.
