The AI Resilience Loop: ISMS Online on Bridging the Governance Gap 29.09.2026 36m

Chris Newton-Smith, CEO of ISMS Online returns as a guest on this week's episode, discussing with Christina and Rory about how organizations can bridge the gap between perceived readiness and actual operational resilience given the challenges of both fair and foul uses of AI and AI Agents. Chris argues that to bridge the gap between perceived AI readiness and actual operational capability, organizations should adopt an integrated "resilience loop" that expands existing information security and data privacy frameworks. The hosts and Chris conclude that because complex digital systems make unexpected failures statistically inevitable, security leaders must use disciplined risk registers to prioritize resources and actively test incident response before a breach occurs.

The Telepathic Adversary: TrendAI outlines AI's C2 Threat 22.09.2026 40m

In this week's episode, Christina & Rory talk with Tom Kellermann, VP of AI Security & Threat Intelligence at TrendAI about how rogue nation-states and AI-driven offensive tactics are disrupting traditional cybersecurity defenses. Tom outlines how four rogue nation-states—Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran—are collaborating and sharing command-and-control (C2) capabilities and exploits at unprecedented levels. He explains how Russian guidance is elevating second-tier actors, driving destructive attacks against critical infrastructure like energy and water utilities, while these states actively shield cybercrime cartels as national assets.

Why Containment Matters: Illumio On Attack Physics & Cyber Resilience 15.09.2026 36m

This week, host Rory Duncan speaks with guest Raghu Nandakumara, VP of Industry Strategy at Illumio, discussing why traditional security controls are failing against modern threats and why enterprises must prioritize containment and business-led resilience. Raghu emphasizes that while foundational security hygiene is frequently neglected for attractive new technologies, containment must serve as the essential "third pillar" alongside prevention and detection to disrupt the fundamental physics of cyber attacks. His recommendation: to prevent systemic operational shutdowns, organizations must abandon blanket policies across all assets and instead prioritize protecting their most critical business processes to effectively reduce overall operational risk.

The Open-Weight Liability Trap: Who Pays When AI Fails? 08.09.2026 47m

This week, Christina & Rory are joined by Fractional CISO, Risk & Governance expert, - and soon to be author - Kayne McGladrey as he returns to the show to discuss the complex and rapidly evolving legal and financial realities of AI liability. Who takes the fall when AI systems make critical errors, violate copyrights, or leak data? The discussion delves into the pros and cons of open-weight models i.e. they save money on token costs, but the deploying company must assume 100% of the liability for both inputs and outputs, unlike when using a frontier model (like Microsoft or OpenAI), the company at least has a contractual defense and some recourse...

In this week's episode, Christina are Rory are joined by Russ Bentley, EVP Product Management at ZeroFox to discuss the alarming ease with which AI can now be used to create ultra-realistic and convincing impersonations and the resulting challenges for executive protection. Some great points by Russ, including the need for a return to foundational social engineering awareness.

The Server in the Corner: Securing the Forgotten AI Attack Surface 04.08.2026 32m

In this week's episode, Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, discusses the critical security risks associated with printers and IoT devices, which he argues are the most overlooked endpoints in the modern AI-enabled threat landscape. LaRoe emphasizes that while printers are often treated as "dumb appliances," they have evolved into sophisticated servers that reside inside the organizational network. Printers typically represent 20% of all network endpoints, yet they frequently exist in a "print silo" outside the visibility and control of IT and security teams.

When Bots Go Rogue: Sysdig and the Agentic Threat Actors 21.07.2026 31m

This week we follow-up on a story from last week's episode about the rise of Agentic Threat Actors (ATAs). Christina & Rory chat with Michael Clark, Senior Director of Threat Research at Sysdig about their discovery of JADEPUFFER, an ATA considered to be the first instance of agentic ransomware - an attack where a Large Language Model (LLM) is on the other end of the connection rather than a human operator. By exploiting the Langflow platform, the agent then autonomously attempted to perform automated database extortion against MySQL instances. But did it achieve its objectives? Leave us a message!

AI-native AppSec: IBM on the Importance of Context, Agent Verification & Secure By Design 07.07.2026 32m

In this week's episode, guest Jayesh Kamat, Global Competency Leader in Application Security at IBM, chats with Christina about the profound impact of AI frontier models on cybersecurity and the necessity of shifting toward an "AI-native" security posture. With machines now generating code at an exponential rate through agents like "IBM Bob," traditional application security (AppSec) methods are no longer sufficient. Kamat advocates for AI-native security, which integrates protection directly into the development lifecycle: Secure by Design: Security requirements, such as whitelisted libraries and functions, should be defined in the specifications before any code is generated. Agent Verification: AI agents should be tasked with reviewing their own code, verifying its security, and explaining their "thought process" for human oversight. The Security Harness: This new approach involves using a specialized "harness" to deploy frontier models to identify vulnerabilities and map exploit paths. Once a path is identified, other agents can auto-remediate the code or update firewall controls in real-time Ultimately, Kamat views this as a "moment under the sun" for application security, which has shifted from a neglected back-office function to a primary focus of enterprise strategy Leave us a message!

Identity & AI: A Strategic Guide for Cybersecurity Professionals 23.06.2026 31m

It's another special episode this week! Hosts Christina Richmond and Rory Duncan examine the evolution of the identity market from a back-office IT function to a central pillar of modern business risk management. The discussion traces the shift from simple human credential management to a complex landscape dominated by non-human identities (NHIs), such as service accounts, APIs, and emerging AI agents. Why is this such a risk? Attackers are now much more likely to "log in" rather than "hack in," and organisations must move toward a model of accountability and zero standing privileges to secure their digital perimeters. Which vendors and service providers should you consider? Establish players include IBM/HashiCorp, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Sailpoint, Securonix, Sphere Technology Solutions and others. Newer and emerging firms include Glide Security, Token Security, Silverfort, SingulrAI and more! What do we recommend? The need for identity hygiene and the integration of behavioural detection to manage the exponential growth of autonomous machine identities. Leave us a message!
