  • Great help!

    Really enjoyed the top ten interviewer and seeing a little more of the personal side of Dave. How about adding quarterly and yearly top tens.

    Please do more of the CyberWire-X episodes. It is good to hear about an exploit, but it is great for us cyber professional to get all the details, so we can understand if we could prevent the exploit. Thanks,

  • 30 Minute Advertisement

    There’s an add then about 5 minutes of content where the host reads headlines without really talking about the story. And then a sponsored interview that takes up most of the episode and some more adds.

    No value to the listener. Just a lot of being advertised to.

  • Great Content

    I like the content (and the music mixing) but the host has one of the most AI-generated-sounding voices and enunciation that I have ever heard. It’s not unpleasant, though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The breach wasn't in the model.
Q: And so what did you hear back?
Starks says Senators Booker and Wyden called for action, including pressure on the ad industry and possible ad blocking by government agencies. Google described its vetting practices, while Microsoft did not respond and the Interactive Advertising Bureau's European branch said investigators needed to help address the problem.
The breach wasn't in the model.
Q: Before we dig into the new developments, can you give us a little bit of the background on ad-fection itself?
Starks says Citizen Lab and Confiant identified targeted online ads as a zero-click spyware vector: users could be exposed simply by visiting a website displaying the ads. The investigation found potential exposure involving Al Jazeera and government networks.
The strategy behind the shield.
Q: Can you give us a preview of some of your upcoming episodes, maybe some of the guests and the types of conversations you're looking forward to?
He previews conversations with HackerOne Chief Product Officer Nidhi Agarwal, AI and trust speaker Dominique Shelton-Leipzig, and Arena AI capability lead Peter Gostev.
The strategy behind the shield.
Q: What brought you to Rubrik?
Cal Al-Dhubaib describes beginning as a population health researcher, building Pandata to apply machine learning in regulated industries, and joining Rubrik to develop thought leadership on AI risk and security.
A matter of national secrecy.
Q: What do you mean by the race to prevent initial access is effectively over, and how should defenders rethink their priorities?
Blackshaw says attacks can progress from initial access to breach in minutes, so organizations should strengthen identity controls alongside detection and response.
