Segment 1: Interview with Thyaga Vasudevan Hybrid by Design: Zero Trust, AI, and the Future of Data Control AI is reshaping how work gets done, accelerating decision-making and introducing new ways for data to be created, accessed, and shared. As a result, organizations must evolve Zero Trust beyond an access-only model into an inline data governance approach that continuously protects sensitive information wherever it moves. Securing access alone is no longer enough in an AI-driven world. In this episode, we’ll unpack why real-time visibility and control over data usage are now essential...

Segment 1 with Beck Norris - Making vulnerability management actually work Vulnerability management is often treated as a tooling or patching problem, yet many organizations struggle to reduce real cyber risk despite heavy investment. In this episode, Beck Norris explains why effective vulnerability management starts with governance and risk context, depends on multiple interconnected security disciplines, and ultimately succeeds or fails based on accountability, metrics, and operational maturity. Drawing from the aviation industry—one of the most regulated and safety-critical...

First Topic - Podcast Content Plans for 2026 Every year, I like to sit down and consider what the podcast should be focusing on. Not doing so ensures every single episode will be about AI and nobody wants that. Least of all, me. If I have one more all-AI episode, my head is going to explode. With that said, most of what we talk about in this segment is AI (picard face palm.png). I think 2026 will be THE defining year for GenAI. Three years after the release of ChatGPT, I think we've hit peak GenAI hype and folks are ready for it to put up or shut up. We'll see winners grow and get acquired and...

For our first episode of the new year, we thought it would be appropriate to dig into some cybersecurity predictions. First, we cover the very nature of predictions and why they're often so bad. To understand this, we get into logical fallacies and cognitive biases. In the next segment, we cover some 2025 predictions we found on the Internet. In the final segment, we discuss 2026, drop some of our own predictions, and talk about what we hope to see this year. SPOILER: Please fix session hijacking, okay tech industry?

For this week's episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, there wasn't a lot of time to prepare. I had to do 5 podcasts in about 8 days leading up to the holiday break, so I decided to just roll with a general chat and see how it went. Also, apologies, for any audio quality issues, as the meal I promised to make for dinner this day required a lot of prep, so I was in the kitchen for the whole episode! For reference, I made the recipe for from Rick Martinez's cookbook, Mi Cocina. I used the wrong peppers (availability issue), so it came out green instead of red, but was VERY delicious. As for the...

Interview with Frank Vukovits: Focusing inward: there lie threats also External threats get discussed more than internal threats. There’s a bit of a streetlight effect here: external threats are more visible, easier to track, and sharing external threat intelligence doesn’t infringe on any individual organization’s privacy. That’s why we hear the industry discuss external threats more, though internally-triggered incidents far outnumber external ones. Internal threats, on the other hand, can get personal. Accidental leaks are embarassing. Malicious insiders are a sensitive topic that...

Interview Segment: Tony Kelly Illuminating Data Blind Spots As data sprawls across clouds and collaboration tools, shadow data and fragmented controls have become some of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. In this segment, we’ll unpack how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) helps organizations regain visibility and control over their most sensitive assets. Our guest will break down how DSPM differs from adjacent technologies like DLP, CSPM, and DSP, and how it integrates into broader Zero Trust and cloud security strategies. We’ll also explore how compliance and...

Interview with Danny Jenkins: How badly configured are your endpoints? Misconfigurations are one of the most overlooked areas in terms of security program quick wins. Everyone freaks out about vulnerabilities, patching, and exploits. Meanwhile, security tools are misconfigured. Thousands of unused software packages increase remediation effort and attack surface. The most basic misconfigurations lead to breaches. Threatlocker spotted this opportunity and have extended their agent-based product to increase attention on these common issues. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker. Visit to...

Interview with Ravid Circus Ravid will discuss why security and engineering misalignment is the biggest barrier to fast, effective remediation, using data from Seemplicity’s 2025 Remediation Operations Report. This is costing some teams days of unnecessary exposure, which can lead to major security implications for organizations. Segment Resources: Topic Segment: Thoughts on Anthropic's latest security report Ex-SC Media journalist Derek Johnson did a great job writing this one up over at Cyberscoop: There are a number of interesting questions that have been raised here. Some...
info_outlineSegment 1: Interview with Rob Allen
It’s the Year of the (Clandestine) Linux Desktop!
As if EDR evasions weren’t enough, attackers are now employing yet another method to hide their presence on enterprise systems: deploying tiny Linux VMs. Attackers are using Hyper-V and/or WSL to deploy tiny (120MB disk space and 256MB memory) Linux VMs to host a custom reverse shell and reverse proxy.
In this segment, we’ll discuss strategies and mitigations to battle this novel technique with Rob Allen from Threatlocker.

Segment 2: Topic - Threat Modeling Humanoid Robots
We're entering the age of human-shaped robots, so it seems like a good time to talk about the fact that they ALREADY HAVE CVEs assigned to them. I guess this isn't a terrible thing - John Connor might have had an easier time if he could simply hack the terminators from a distance...
