Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask-a-Thrunt3r: December 2025 - DEcember 🐏
Q: What is Detection Engineering really about, on a baseline level?
DE is the practice of systematically thinking through protection mechanisms, building, testing, deploying, and maintaining detections across multiple tools with a CI/CD mindset, not relying only on vendor out-of-the-box detections.
Ask-a-Thrunt3r: May 2026 — Ask Me About the War of 1812 🐏
Q: What is next for social engineering in the age of AI, Matt?
Matt argues that phishing will become more scalable and convincing, with AI-enabled agents conducting mass outbound calls and using real-time OSINT to tailor pretexts; defenses must shift toward depth, with stronger verification and out-of-band checks rather than relying solely on user training.
