Sandbox Escapes with Rubrik's Zero Labs, AI recorders eroding privacy, and the news - Joe Hladik - ESW #472
Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)
Interview with Joe Hladik - ChatMate Imagine a user asks an LLM a question about a document. An attacker then gains an interactive prompt on the user’s chat session, enabling the attacker to instruct the AI assistant to take actions on behalf of the victim. That is exactly the capability researchers at Rubrik Zero Labs were able to demonstrate in a recent study designed to test the bounds of LLM security. Join Joe Hladik, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs, as he breaks down the discovery of "Remote Prompt Execution," a novel vulnerability class that enabled full takeovers of Microsoft Copilot...

Exploring AI Network Protocols; Vulnerability Truths and Guarantees; and the News - O'Shea Bowens, Jeremiah Grossman - ESW #469
Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)
Segment 1 - Interview with O'Shea Bowens What do we really know about "AI Network Protocols"? Network security is about to get popular all over again. Generative AI caused a disruptive explosion across all of tech and every company’s roadmap. The move from chatbots to AI agents doubled down on that disruption. Now agents need to talk to each other? Boom: we have MCP. A2A. Universal Commerce Protocol. General purpose and specialized protocols for agent communication. What does this look like from the network perspective, though? O’Shea Bowen joins us to answer this question, and he thinks...

AI Security at Scale, CMMC phase II paused, and the Weekly Enterprise News - Keith Hollender - ESW #468
Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)
Interview with Keith Hollender, CEO and Co-Founder of Arcova Why AI Security Is Becoming an Execution Problem, Not Just a Governance Problem As enterprises move from AI experimentation to adoption at scale, security leaders are under pressure to enable innovation without introducing unmanaged risk. The challenge is no longer whether organizations should pursue AI, but how they can govern it, secure it, and operationalize it in ways that stand up to real-world business and threat conditions. In this conversation, Keith Hollender discusses what Arcova is seeing across enterprise environments as...

Mastering agent permissions and Identiverse interviews - Amir Ofek, Howard Ting, Ajay Gupta, Sandy Bird - ESW #466
Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)
Interview with Sandy Bird, co-founder of Sonrai Security In this week's interview, we kick off the conversation with how Sonrai's expertise in securing cloud identity permissions had the company well placed to address the explosion of AI agents and the clear risks they represented. On the surface, this looks like a cloud/hyperscaler permissions challenge, but it isn't that simple. As agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes are connected to enterprise cloud agents, the risk spreads outside VPCs and onto endpoints. Check out the episode to learn more about some of the most common risks Sandy...

Safe AI at scale, what happens after initial access, and the weekly enterprise news - Albert Estevez Polo, Shiva Pillay - ESW #463
Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)
Interview with Shiva Pillay from Veeam Safe AI at Scale AI investment is exploding, yet nearly 90% of enterprise initiatives fail because the data powering AI cannot be trusted. That’s the uncomfortable truth the industry is facing right now. Safe AI at scale requires more than just great models—it demands trusted, governed, and recoverable data.

info_outlineRethinking Security from the OS Up in the Age of AI
Karen Heart discusses a file-system–first approach to security, arguing that most modern attacks—including ransomware and supply chain compromises—succeed because they inherit user permissions and operate inside overly trusted system structures.
She explains how limiting file access, socket (network) access, and privilege escalation at the operating system level can reduce entire classes of attacks. Rather than relying on reactive detection, her approach emphasizes immutable, allowlisted controls embedded close to the kernel layer, designed to prevent both data exfiltration and malicious code execution at the source.
The conversation also explores how AI agents and contractors expand the attack surface, reinforcing the need for strict isolation, backup protection, and deterministic system boundaries.

Agentic AI and the Future of Threat Intelligence Operations Security teams collect large volumes of threat intelligence but often struggle to translate that information into coordinated operational response. This discussion explores how organizations are embedding intelligence directly into security workflows and introducing AI agents to support investigation, enrichment and response. Sachin will discuss Cyware’s Agentic Fabric approach and the evolution toward an agent-centric model, where a portfolio of specialized agents assists analysts across threat intelligence, detection engineering and response workflows. The conversation will focus on how AI can support security teams while maintaining human oversight and operational control.

Beyond the Audit: Making Cyber Risk Continuous, Quantified, and Actionable Most companies assess cyber risk once a year and call it done — but for organizations managing dozens of subsidiaries or portfolio companies, that's a costly blind spot. In this RSA interview, Resilience's VP of Customer Engagement explores why measuring risk in dollars (not color-coded charts) changes the conversation at the board level, and why the organizations best positioned to prevent losses are the ones treating cyber risk as a continuous discipline rather than an annual exercise.
