The Future of Access Management - Jeff Shiner - ESW #404

Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)

As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data. In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He’ll explore the...

The past, present, and future of enterprise AI - Matthew Toussain, Pravi Devineni - ESW #403

Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)

In this interview, we're excited to speak with Pravi Devineni, who was into AI before it was insane. Pravi has a PhD in AI and remembers the days when machine learning (ML) and AI were synonymous. This is where we'll start our conversation: trying to get some perspective around how generative AI has changed the overall landscape of AI in the enterprise. Then, we move on to the topic of AI safety and whether that should be the CISO's job, or someone else's. Finally, we'll discuss the future of AI and try to end on a positive or hopeful note! What a time to have this conversation! Mere days from...

What is old is new again: default deny on the endpoint - Colby DeRodeff, Danny Jenkins - ESW #402

Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)

Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most. The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible....

Soft skills for engineers - Evgeniy Kharam, Paul Nguyen - ESW #401

Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio)

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career...

Segment 2

Libraesva Interview

Generative AI is having a transformative effect across almost every industry, but arguably the area it has had the most significant impact is cybercrime. Discriminative AI can now learn to recognize what constitutes normal communication patterns, so anything out of the ordinary can be flagged. AI is also enabling human security analysts to automate the triage of reported emails, to rapidly identify false positives and keep up with emerging cybercriminal tactics. Finally, specialized Small Language Models (SLMs) using neural networks are able to analyze and comprehend the semantic intent of the message.

IRONSCALES Interview

Phishing has evolved—fast. What started as basic email scams has transformed into AI-powered cyber deception.

Phishing 1.0: Early phishing relied on spam emails, fake banking alerts, and malware links to trick users into clicking
Phishing 2.0: Attackers got smarter—instead of mass emails, they started impersonating real people
Phishing 3.0: Now, cybercriminals are using AI to generate fake but highly convincing voices, videos, and images

IRONSCALES discusses the current gaps in SEG technology and will showcase industry-first innovations for protection against deepfakes.
