From Shame to Fame: Changing Behaviors and RSAC Interviews from Tanium and Illumio - Craig Taylor, Tim Morris, Andrew Rubin - BSW #444
Business Security Weekly (Video)
Why have security awareness training programs failed? Maybe we need to understand human psychology. Humans don't like tricks, or to be shamed, or negative emotions. Humans want to be rewarded, but yet our training and phishing programs are not built for reward. Maybe it's time to rethink cyber literacy. Craig Taylor, CEO and Co-founder at CyberHoot, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why we need to shift our Cyber Literacy industry from shame and punishment towards gamification, positive reinforcement, and small rewards. If we truly aspire to change behaviors, then we need a different...

Executive Paralysis and Two Pre-Recorded RSAC 2026 Interviews from DigiCert and Okta - Ann Marie van den Hurk, Amit Sinha, Matt Immler - BSW #441
Business Security Weekly (Video)
Most organizations don’t fail because of technology.

How should executives make decisions under pressure? Ann Marie van den Hurk, Founder at Mind The Gap Advisory, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how executive paralysis leads to business damage. Ann Marie will discuss: Where Paralysis Actually Comes From What “Being Careful” Looks Like in Practice Why the First 20 Minutes Matter How Paralysis Becomes...

Being Exploitable While Your Risk Tolerance Changes and You Unblock Innovation - Myke Lyons - BSW #438
Business Security Weekly (Video)
AI has created a dilemma for security teams. Attackers are using AI to develop exploits to newly disclosed vulnerabilities faster than security teams can patch them. Security teams have not fully leveraged the capabilities of AI to autonomously prevent these attacks. Without a radical change in approach, organizations will be exposed to an exponentially increasing attack surface. How long can your organization tolerate being exploitable? Myke Lyons, CISO at Cribl, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why organizations need to embrace AI to understand the behavior of attacks to effectively...

Building Trusted Automation as Leaders Struggle with AI Adoption and CISOs Hire - Tim Morris - BSW #437
Business Security Weekly (Video)
With the introduction of Agentic AI, autonomous "everything" is all the rage. But we've been burned by automation in the past.

Automation may be the future of security and IT operations, but the path to autonomous "everything" must be earned. How do you build autonomous capabilities with confidence and trust? Tim Morris, Financial Services Strategist at Tanium, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how teams can introduce autonomous capabilities in a crawl-walk-run progression that builds trust...

Security as a Business Enabler by Re-envisioning Risk and Leading through Uncertainty - Elyse Gunn - BSW #436
Business Security Weekly (Video)
Most organizations view security as a cost center, a "check-the-box" expense rather than a strategic investment. This mindset leads to chronic underfunding, reactive, panic-driven decision-making, and high staff turnover. It also hampers innovation, strategic initiatives, and customer trust. What if security was viewed as a business enabler, not a cost center? Elyse Gunn, CISO at Nasuni, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how to make security a business enabler, turning security from a cost center into a profit center. Elyse discusses why aligning security initiatives to business...

In this exclusive Black Hat 2025 interview, CyberRisk TV host Matt Alderman sits down with Tom Pore, AVP of Sales Engineering at Pentera, to dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI-driven cyberattacks. What’s happening?
Attackers are already using AI and LLMs to launch thousands of attacks per second—targeting modern web apps, exploiting PII, and bypassing traditional testing methods. Tom explains how automated AI payload generation, context-aware red teaming, and language/system-aware attack modeling are reshaping the security landscape. The twist? Pentera flips the script by empowering security teams to think like an attacker—using continuous, AI-powered penetration testing to uncover hidden risks before threat actors do. This includes finding hardcoded credentials, leveraging leaked identities, and pivoting across systems just like real adversaries.
