Post Quantum Migration Struggles, AI Threats, and Modern Defenses - HD Moore, Ramin Farassat, Eyal Benishti, Daniel dos Santos, Bobby Ford - ESW #457 05/04/2026

Post Quantum Migration Struggles, AI Threats, and Modern Defenses - HD Moore, Ramin Farassat, Eyal Benishti, Daniel dos Santos, Bobby Ford - ESW #457 Interview with Daniel dos Santos: Post-Quantum Cryptography and the Risks No One Is Talking About Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is quickly shifting from theory to inevitability. In this segment, Daniel dos Santos, VP of Research at Forescout, explains why PQC isn’t the most immediate threat today—but still demands early attention as standards solidify and timelines accelerate. The discussion highlights overlooked risks beyond encrypted traffic, including digital signatures, firmware integrity, and blockchain systems. Daniel also emphasizes the real challenge: migration. While client-side adoption is already underway, organizations face major hurdles identifying and upgrading servers, legacy systems, and unmanaged assets like IoT and OT. The bottom line: PQC migration is unavoidable. Starting early—especially with crypto inventory and planning—will make the transition far less painful. RSAC Interview: Multi-Channel Impersonation: Why Legacy Controls Are Failing As social engineering expands past just email to include text messages, chat apps, social platforms, and live video calls, traditional point solutions are struggling to keep up. In this segment, Bobby Ford explains how AI-powered impersonation and deepfake-enabled campaigns are exposing critical gaps in legacy defenses, and why organizations must evolve toward a unified social engineering defense platform that connects Digital Risk Management and Human Risk Management. He’ll outline what modern security programs need: real-time cross-channel visibility, behavior-driven detection, and strategies designed around how people actually communicate and make decisions today.

RSAC Interview: The Threat Curve Has Reset: Why AI Made “Solved” Attacks Dangerous Again AI hasn’t just evolved cyberattacks—it has reset the threat curve entirely. New research shows that even “solved” problems like phishing and business email compromise are immature and dangerous again, with attackers using AI and autonomous agents to launch hyper-personalized, multi-channel attacks at scale. This session explores what Phishing 3.0 really means for security leaders—and why defending trust now requires a fundamentally new approach. This segment is sponsored by IRONSCALES.

The Next Frontier: Autonomous Security and RSAC Interviews from Quantro & SandboxAQ - Marc Manzano, Mark Hughes, Mehul Revankar - BSW #445 Attackers are increasingly weaponizing frontier models to accelerate the entire attack lifecycle, with current and emerging models reducing the time and expertise needed to start disruptive attacks. As offensive capabilities become more automated and agentic, organizations will need security programs that are equally autonomous, coordinated and continuous. But where do you start? Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner, Cybersecurity Services at IBM, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss autonomous security, the next frontier of cybersecurity services. IBM recently announced IBM Autonomous Security, a separate service that uses AI agents to analyze software exposures and runtime environments. Mark will discuss the fears and hype of AI and how agentic AI agents can identify paths in an enterprise security environment that can be exploited, improve cyber hygiene, and enforce security policies. As frontier models, like Mythos, accelerate attacks, security programs need to respond with speed, at scale, to drive the right business outcomes. AI Agents for Vulnerability Management Introducing Quantro Security, Inc., a new agentic AI solution bringing AI agents to vulnerability management. The company is focused on applying agentic AI to help address modern security challenges. In this interview, we’ll learn more about Quantro Security, Inc., its approach, and what this new solution means for the future of vulnerability management.

The Guardrails are Gone: The Onus for AI Security Is On the Enterprise AI model providers are increasingly stepping back from enforcing guardrails, putting the responsibility for AI security squarely on enterprises. But most organizations don't yet have the visibility to meet that responsibility, facing a blind spot across the broader ecosystem of AI systems already operating in their environments. Closing that gap requires unified visibility across both AI systems and the cryptographic infrastructure they touch, so security teams can assess risk and act on it in one place.

Rethinking Security from the OS Up in the Age of AI and more RSAC 2026 Interviews - Karen Heart, Sachin Jade, Phil Calvin, Craig Sanderson, Travis Wong - ESW #456 04/27/2026

Rethinking Security from the OS Up in the Age of AI and more RSAC 2026 Interviews - Karen Heart, Sachin Jade, Phil Calvin, Craig Sanderson, Travis Wong - ESW #456 Rethinking 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. Segment Resources: The New Era of DNS Resilience: Breaking down the newly finalized NIST SP 800-81 Craig Sanderson from Infoblox will dive into the newly finalized NIST SP 800-81 as it marks a pivotal shift in DNS security, emphasizing resilience through modernized practices tailored for today’s distributed, cloud-driven, and threat-laden environments. This update provides actionable guidance for organizations to strengthen DNS infrastructure against evolving threats like ransomware and data exfiltration, while prioritizing initiatives like DNSSEC, encryption, and protective DNS for immediate risk reduction. This segment is sponsored by Infoblox. Visit to learn more about them! 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. This segment is sponsored by Cyware. Visit to learn more about them! 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.

From Shame to Fame: Changing Behaviors and RSAC Interviews from Tanium and Illumio - Andrew Rubin, Craig Taylor, Tim Morris - BSW #444 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 approach. Craig will discuss how a multi-disciplinary approach rooted in science is the future of training and phishing programs.

The Human Aspect of Red Teams - Brian Fox, Tom Tovar, T. Gwyddon 'Data' Owen - ASW #379 04/21/2026

The Human Aspect of Red Teams - Brian Fox, Tom Tovar, T. Gwyddon 'Data' Owen - ASW #379 Red team exercises set goals to see if a particular outcome can be accomplished through a simulated attack, but the ultimate outcome should be educating the org about how to improve tools and processes that make attacks more difficult to succeed. Gwyddon "Data" Owen shares his experience building a red team, creating an exercise, and leveraging the results to improve security. And while the adoption of LLMs will accelerate a red team's activities, there are still plenty of foundational security controls that orgs can establish that would require a red team to be more than just fast, but fast and very careful. Coding Agents Are Getting More Cautious, But Not Safer A new study finds that while frontier AI coding models are hallucinating less than they did a year ago, they still preserve a significant amount of avoidable software risk when left ungrounded. Sonatype’s research shows that connecting these models to real-time software intelligence dramatically improves remediation quality and reduces critical and high-severity vulnerability exposure by 60–70%. The takeaway is clear: safer AI-assisted development will depend not just on better models, but on grounding them in accurate, current dependency and vulnerability data. This segment is sponsored by Sonatype. Read the study: How We Achieve Agentic Outcomes in CyberSecurity: The “Do-It-For-Me” Mobile Defense If you look at deepfakes, synthetic identity, social engineering, and new malware variants coming to market, it seems like attackers have a first-mover advantage in using AI. The volume and variety of threats are growing faster than the current cyber stack can address. Against this backdrop, organizations are moving away from “do-it-yourself” delivery models (more tools, more alerts, more headcount) to “do-it-for-me” agentic AI delivery models (using platforms that unify data, execute policy, and automate outcomes). The emphasis outside of cyber is on empowering the expert human-in-the-loop — so teams spend less time in the noise and more time delivering business outcomes. This segment explores how cybersecurity leaders can make the most of the AI Age, leveraging it for good while staying relevant amid the explosive AI adoption curve.

Making AI actually work in the enterprise and more RSAC Conference 2026 interviews - Camellia Chan, Aamir Lakhani, Jim Spignardo, Jody Brazil, Ely Abramovitch - ESW #455 Interview with Jim Spignardo What does it take to build AI workflows that work? Why do so many fail? Jim isn’t a typical ESW guest. I think it’s essential for security folks to regularly step outside the security bubble and understand other perspectives and mindsets. That’s what we’re doing today with Jim. He specializes in building custom AI architecture and workflows for his clients. We discuss the state of AI in the enterprise and why so many of these efforts fail. We’ll discuss the elements of AI success and whether security plays a role in helping AI efforts succeed or contribute to failures. Segment Resources: RSAC Exec Interviews, Part 1 Trends Revealed in Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs 2026 Global Threat Landscape Report Fortinet’s Global Director of Threat Intelligence and Adversarial AI Research explores the trends revealed in the latest Global Threat Landscape Report from FortiGuard Labs, including a surge in AI-enabled cybercrime.

X-PHY Delivers Hardware-Enforced Security for the Age of AI Agents Camellia Chan, CEO and Co-Founder of X-PHY, discusses how Model Context Protocol (MCP) is making it easier for AI agents to plug into enterprise apps and operate with elevated permissions—creating new opportunities for attacks and data exfiltration. She explains how X-PHY’s hardware-enforced monitoring and detection sit beyond the OS trust boundary to enforce immutable limits on what agents can do and stop threats before data is lost, so organizations can adopt agentic AI with confidence. Security leaders looking to deploy AI agents safely can request a demo or briefing with X-PHY at . RSAC Exec Interviews, Part 2 Introducing Legion Investigator: Goal-Oriented AI Investigations Traditional security playbooks often fail because they cannot capture the fluid, context-dependent reasoning required when a routine investigation hits a non-scripted "judgment point." Legion Investigator addresses this gap by employing goal-oriented AI agents that move beyond rigid scripts to interpret findings and execute complex, multi-step investigations based on your team's unique environment and expertise. By bridging the divide between automated execution and human-level reasoning, the platform ensures that every alert (no matter how unpredictable) is handled with the depth and consistency of a senior analyst. This segment is sponsored by Legion Security. Visit to learn more about them! The Missing Layer in Zero Trust: The Security Policy Control Plane Zero Trust has become the dominant security architecture for hybrid and cloud environments, but many organizations are discovering that deploying enforcement technologies alone does not deliver operational control. Firewalls, cloud security groups, and microsegmentation platforms enforce access decisions, yet the policies behind those controls are often fragmented, difficult to validate, and constantly changing. In this conversation, FireMon CEO Jody Brazil discusses why modern security architectures increasingly require a security policy control plane: a layer that continuously validates how policy is enforced across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation platforms. The discussion explores why policy drift occurs in real environments, how enforcement systems become difficult to coordinate at scale, and what organizations must do to ensure Zero Trust policies remain consistent as infrastructure evolves.

Not All CISO Gigs Are Created Equal and RSAC Interviews from ESET and Mimecast - Rob Juncker, Joanna Chen, Tony Anscombe - BSW #443 So you want to be a CISO? Do you know what that role entails? It depends on a number of factors, including industry, country location, technical vs. business, and more. Each position is more different than you think. Joanna Chen, Chief Information Security Officer at Dashlane, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why not all CISO gigs are created equal. As a "technical" CISO in a foreign country, Joanna realized that not all of her peers came from a technical background, like herself. It's a broad world and the CISO role varies a lot. Joanna will discuss how to understand the various CISO roles and discuss the skills that are makers and breakers. Managing Cyber Risk as Financially Motivated Attacks Grow The ransomware and eCrime landscape continue to evolve at a rapid pace. ESET’s global research team has been closely following ransomware gang disruptions and their use of EDR Killers to disable cybersecurity tools.

Attack Surface Just Got a Copilot AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can secure it — and the consequences are showing up in email inboxes, collaboration platforms, and the shadow tools employees use every day. According to Mimecast's State of Human Risk 2026, 80% of organizations are concerned about sensitive data exposure through generative AI tools, yet 60% still lack strategies to address AI-driven threats. The result is a growing gap between the security investments organizations are making and the protection they're actually getting. In this conversation, Rob Juncker will explore why human behavior has become the defining variable in enterprise cybersecurity, how shadow AI is creating new data exposure and insider risk vectors, and what it takes for security architectures to adapt in real time — without slowing down the business.

Zero Trust Readiness and Two RSAC 2026 Interviews from Fenix24 and Absolute Security - John Bruggeman, Christy Wyatt, John Anthony Smith - BSW #442 Autonomous AI agents are creating a new attack surface for enterprise security teams, particularly as organizations deploy agents for operational tasks such as customer support automation, data analysis, and incident response. How can we align our Zero Trust initiatives to also address the emerging Agentic AI risks? John Bruggeman, Consulting CISO at CBTS, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how your Zero Trust readiness can also prepare you for Agentic AI deployments. Organizations are granting agents access to sensitive systems without the security controls typically required for other Zero Trust initiatives. John will help educate CISOs on what they should be doing now to get ahead of the risk, including: Agent inventory Data security controls, including data model poisoning Agent identity controls, including authorization and access levels Infrastructure security controls, including MCP servers Why More Technology Hasn’t Made Us More Secure Despite massive investment in cybersecurity tools, organizations remain vulnerable because their existing technologies are often misconfigured, poorly integrated, and disconnected from real operational risk. This keynote argues that complexity, human decision‑making, and gaps in execution—not a lack of products—are what truly empower attackers, especially as modern environments like cloud and SaaS expand the attack surface. Real security comes from simplifying, aligning, and expertly orchestrating what organizations already own, shifting the focus from buying tools to achieving disciplined, resilient outcomes grounded in breach reality.
