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. This segment is sponsored by Libraesva.

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.

Security teams are inundated with vast amounts of data, much of which is not actionable. To combat cyber threats—and level the playing field—defenders need precise intelligence to identify attacks, dynamically quarantine threats, and prevent cyber disasters, highlighting the power of the security graph.

Reality check on SOC AI; Enterprise News; runZero and Imprivata RSAC interviews - HD Moore, Joel Burleson-Davis, Erik Bloch - ESW #408 05/26/2025

Reality check on SOC AI; Enterprise News; runZero and Imprivata RSAC interviews - HD Moore, Joel Burleson-Davis, Erik Bloch - ESW #408 Segment 1: Erik Bloch Interview The math on SOC AI just isn't adding up. It's not easy to do the math, either, as each SOC automation vendor is tackling alert fatigue and SecOps assistants a bit differently. Fortunately for us and our audience, Erik Bloch met with many of these vendors at RSAC and is going to share what he learned with us! Segment 2: Enterprise Weekly News In this week's enterprise security news, 1. Some interesting new companies getting funding 2. Chainguard isn’t unique anymore 3. AI slop coming to open source soon 4. Wiz dominance analysis 5. the IKEA effect in cybersecurity 6. LLM model collapse 7. vulnerabilities 8. DFIR reports 9. and fun with LinkedIn and prompt injection! Segment 3: RSAC Interviews runZero Interview with HD Moore Despite becoming a checkbox feature in major product suites, vulnerability management is fundamentally broken. The few remaining first-wave vulnerability scanners long ago shifted their investments and attention into adjacent markets to maintain growth, bolting on fragmented functionality that's added complexity without effectively securing today's attack surfaces. Meanwhile, security teams are left contending with massive blind spots and disparate tools that collectively fail to detect exposures that are commonly exploited by attackers. Our industry is ready for change. Jeff and HD explore the current state of vulnerability management, what’s required to truly prevent real-world incidents, new perspectives that are challenging the status quo, and innovative approaches that are finally overcoming decades old problems to usher in a new era of vulnerability management.

Imprivata interview with Joel Burleson-Davis Organizations in mission-critical industries are acutely aware of the growing cyber threats, like the Medusa ransomware gang attacking critical US sectors, but are wary that implementing stricter security protocols will slow productivity and create new barriers for employees. This is a valid concern, but organizations should not accept the trade-off between the inevitability of a breach by avoiding productivity-dampening security measures, or the drop in employee productivity and rise in frustration caused by implementing security measures that might mitigate a threat like Medusa. In this conversation, Joel will discuss how organizations can build a robust security strategy that does not impede productivity. He will highlight how Imprivata’s partnership with SailPoint enables stronger enterprise identity security while enhancing efficiency—helping organizations strike the right balance.

Over the past two decades, the browser has evolved from a simple web rendering engine to the primary gateway through which users interact with the internet, be it for work, leisure or transactions. In other words, browsers are becoming the new endpoint. Yet, despite the exponential growth of browser-native attacks, traditional security solutions continue to focus on endpoint and network, leaving a large gaping hole when it comes to browser security. SquareX has started the Year of Browser Bugs (YOBB), a yearlong initiative to draw attention to the lack of security research and rigor in what remains one of the most understudied attack vectors - the browser. Learn more about SquareX's Browser Detection and Response solution at Last Mile Reassembly Attacks: Polymorphic Extensions technical blog: There is a growing overlap between endpoint and cloud environments, creating new security challenges. ThreatLocker has recently released innovative solutions designed to protect organizations operating in this space.

While the value of identity security remains largely untapped, SailPoint’s latest Horizons of Identity Security report reveals that organizations with mature identity programs can bend their identity security-to-value curve and recognize disproportionately higher returns. These programs unlock new value pools and can help address emerging challenges, such as securing machine and AI agent identities.

Visit to learn more about them! Identity has long been the soft underbelly of cybersecurity—but with AI, non-human identities (NHIs), and autonomous agents on the rise, it’s now front and center for security teams, the C-suite, and boardrooms alike. Adversaries aren’t just hacking systems anymore—they’re hijacking identities to slip through the cracks and move undetected in systems. For too long, identity security was treated as interchangeable with IAM—but that mindset is exactly what left critical gaps exposed. Listen to our interview with Hed Kovetz as he unpacks why identity has become today’s most urgent battleground in cyber. He'll what you can do about it with an identity security playbook that gives you the upper hand. This segment is sponsored by Silverfort.
