RSAC Presenter Says "Time to Kill One of Cybersecurity's Most Overworked Terms"
Cybersecurity Today
RSAC: Retiring “APT,” FCC’s US-Made Router Ban, Zoom Call Scraping, Iran-Targeting Wiper, and Cyber Terrorism Insurance From RSAC 2026, host David Shipley highlights ESET researcher Robert Lipowsky’s argument to retire the overused “advanced persistent threat” label and instead describe actors by motivation and activity, noting blurred lines between nation-state and criminal tooling. He also reports RSAC vendor trends (zero trust fading, “agentic AI” everywhere) and standout booth themes. In Washington, the FCC bans authorization of any new Wi‑Fi router models not made in the...

The Fundamental Mistake in Cybersecurity Risk Management
Cybersecurity Today
Cybersecurity Isn’t Managing Risk—It’s Managing Threats... And That's the Problem Host David Shipley speaks with Jeff Gardiner, a former university CISO and now at Morgan Stanley, about Gardiner’s doctoral research arguing that cybersecurity has structurally misclassified “risk management” as threat management. Gardiner explains that real risk is an expected loss calculation (impact × likelihood), while many cybersecurity frameworks and training emphasize vulnerabilities, exploitability, and system configuration without likelihood or business impact. He describes examples...

In this holiday weekend edition of Cybersecurity Today, Jim Love introduces David Shipley’s interview with Steve Visconti, CEO of Xiid Corporation, about cybersecurity risks in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Visconti explains Xiid’s software-based security layer for IP networks, aimed at critical infrastructure across enterprise, public sector, and DOD environments, and its growing focus on OT/IoT such as EV charging systems. The discussion highlights how EV chargers connect vehicles, homes, back-office billing/control systems, cloud services, and potentially vehicle-to-grid power flows, creating large-scale attack surfaces that could enable disruption, DDoS activity, or broader grid instability. Visconti argues for “unreachability” architectures that close ports and remove static exposure while allowing only registered users and machine-to-machine access. The interview also touches on concerns about vulnerabilities leading to fires, supply-chain risks, and policy debates such as government-accessible vehicle kill switches.
