Appsec often frames usability and security as at odds with each other. Apple's software has famously emphasized the importance of usability while also creating a solid security foundation. Patrick Wardle talks about how he's seen malware shift from Windows to macOS, how Apple's aggressive stance on deprecation benefits security, and the areas of the OS where he still sees plenty of opportunity for more security research. We discuss how developers make defensible design choices, why privacy needs security, and some security principles that any app developer should keep in mind regardless of their programming language or operating system.

Security problems aren't changing very much even though security teams are. We catch up on the implications of the Claude Code source leak, the very human lessons from the axios NPM compromise, and what secure design looks like when it involves agents, humans, or both.

AppSec has always celebrated interesting and impactful vulns. And LLMs are now a favored tool for finding flaws. We shouldn't forget the success and effectiveness of fuzzers like OSS-Fuzz, which has improved security for over 1,000 projects and found over 50,000 bugs. But we can't ignore the ease of prompting an agent to go find -- and exploit -- a vuln when the UX and overhead of doing so is hardly more than writing some markdown.

The SDLC Blind Spot: Why Breaches Start with Identity, Not Code

Developers have access to source code, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure — and attackers know it. Target lost 860GB of source code through a single compromised credential. Recruitment fraud campaigns have pivoted from a compromised developer to cloud admin in under 10 minutes. As agents join human developers, contractors, and service accounts in the SDLC, the attack surface is expanding faster than static security tools can track. Security teams need real-time visibility beyond code and into who has access and what they're actually doing.

Most organizations don’t fail because of technology. They fail because decision authority is unclear in the first critical minutes. “Being careful” is often interpreted as waiting for certainty, but that delay creates exposure. 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 Business Damage
• Why Existing Plans Don’t Hold
• What Actually Fixes It

Then, we rebroadcast two interviews from RSAC 2026.

Autonomous Intelligence and the Future of Digital Trust AI agents are no longer experimental tools — they are becoming autonomous participants in enterprise infrastructure. Acting independently, making decisions at machine speed, and interacting directly with sensitive systems, these agents fundamentally reshape the trust model that underpins modern organizations. As AI becomes embedded across operations, security must evolve from perimeter defense to continuous, identity-driven trust. This conversation explores what it means to build a resilient trust architecture for autonomous systems — one that ensures verifiable identity, constrained authority, accountability, and governance at scale. We’ll examine how enterprises can balance innovation with control, prevent misuse or spoofed agents, and prepare for a future defined by machine-to-machine interactions. At stake is not just cybersecurity, but the integrity of digital trust itself.

In the AI era, cybersecurity is undergoing a fundamental shift as AI agents transform both the speed and scale of attacks. In this interview, Gibb Witham, President and Chief Financial Officer of Hack The Box, explains why organizations must move beyond assumed AI capability toward measurable, validated cyber readiness for both humans and AI systems. Drawing on real-world benchmarks, agentic AI testing, and hands-on training, Witham outlines how security teams can safely adopt AI by proving performance under pressure. The discussion highlights why the future of cybersecurity depends on training, testing, and reinforcing human and AI operators together before they are trusted in critical environments.

The future of secure software is going through a mix of skills expected of humans and skills files created for LLMs. We might even posit that appsec as a discipline will fade (and that might not even be a bad thing!). Keith Hoodlet describes the skills he was looking for in building teams of security researchers and why there's still an emphasis on the ability to learn about and understand how software is built.

But figuring out what skills will get you hired and what skills are valuable to invest in still feels daunting to new grads and others entering the security industry. We discuss where the role of appsec seems to be heading and a few of the security and software fundamentals that can help you follow that direction.

Then, we rebroadcast two interviews from RSAC 2026.

The Identity Crisis of Agentic AI

Identity security is being stretched between legacy infrastructure that was never built to be secure and rapidly emerging AI agents and non-human identities that organizations are quickly adopting. As AI accelerates, identity risk grows alongside it, making agentic security fundamentally an identity challenge—because the more access AI has, the greater both its power and potential risk. In this session, Ron Rasin explores how past gaps in areas like Active Directory and machine identities created today’s blind spots, and why identity must now act as the control plane for AI-driven enterprises, with real-time enforcement before access is granted. He also highlights new innovations and partnerships enabling embedded identity controls across human, non-human, and AI identities, emphasizing that at machine speed, reactive security is no longer enough.

Privileged by Design: AI Agents and the New Identity Risk to Production Systems

At RSAC this year, the AI conversation is getting more practical. Less “look what agents can do” and more “who’s actually in control when an autonomous system can take real actions across business apps and infrastructure.”

The Moltbook breach and the growing attention on OpenClaw-style agent vulnerabilities put real weight behind that question because they show how quickly agent ecosystems can scale past oversight.

Today we’re talking with Shashwath, CEO of P0 Security, about why identity and authorization are the quiet enablers of modern AI, where teams are losing control as non-human identities explode and what security leaders can do to keep innovation moving without turning access sprawl into enterprise risk.

After a cybersecurity career in various roles, doing everything from product management to malware analysis training, Lenny spent 6 years in the CISO seat at Axonius, from near the inception of the company through its growth from its modest Series A stage in 2019 to the present, with nearly a billion in funding today.

The gold standard for third party cyber risk management has long been the humble questionnaire. While we've seen security rating services companies generate scores by scanning a company's external resources. Both approaches are widely considered inaccurate for either creating trust relationships or determining the true risk of doing business with a third party.

Every analysis of this problem comes to the same conclusion: without internal data about the state of systems and the security program, TPCRM can't improve substantially. Most this believe this to be an impossible problem: third parties would never share data this sensitive with a customer and first parties assume the same.

What if they did?

That's exactly the premise behind Tenchi Security, and Alexandre joins us to talk about how they've accomplished the 'impossible' in Brazil and aim to expand their success to the US.

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 organizations work to connect cybersecurity, AI governance, resilience, and broader transformation priorities. He explores where companies are getting stuck, why traditional siloed approaches are falling short, and what it takes to move from strategy decks to secure execution.

Keith also shares how Arcova’s practitioner-led, relationship-driven model helps organizations turn complexity into clarity by embedding with client teams, solving urgent problems hands-on, and building capabilities designed to last. The conversation also covers Arcova’s continued growth, including expansion into the Middle East, and what global demand signals reveal about the next phase of cybersecurity and AI consulting.

This one sent some shockwaves through the CMMC community, particularly the hundreds or thousands of folks gearing up to assist with the validation that phase 2 aimed to provide. The TL;DR - defense contractors have been required to comply with CMMC controls for years, but self-attestation means that many probably haven't been meeting the requirements. Perhaps, rather than have tons of defense contractors fail the test, they just suspended the requirement for the test itself.

I think Howard Holton nails it here when he says:

"100,000 defense contractors needed third-party assessments. Roughly 100 authorized assessors exist. That's 1,000 assessments each, with the deadline in November."

PCI already created a model that works for a scenario like this. If you're small, you self-assess. If you're big enough, an independent auditor comes to check you out once a year. I'm sure they were probably aware of this and chose not to go down that path for some reasons. I'm not aware of those reasons.

What this means:

• Phase II is paused
• Phase I self-assessments still in place (note, however, that phase II existed, because self-attestation didn't work)
• NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance still required
• 60-day review aims to reform CMMC
• DoW opened an RFI for industry perspectives on what they should do
• CMMC characterized as a "compliance burden" and "red tape"
• False Claims Act and DOJ's cyber-fraud enforcement are still on the table

• Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Kelly Loeffler's post
• A useful LinkedIn post that breaks down a lot of what this really means (and doesn't)

With Q-day getting closer, regulatory guidance pushing firms to migrate to quantum security in the next five years, and an extensive remediation backlog waiting to be discovered, security leaders must start their quantum security migration today. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we discuss the quantum-safe journey using a framework for crypto-agility.

In part 1, we define cryptographic agility, or crypto-agility for short, and why it's important. Crypto-agility is not just about transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography in the nimblest way possible, and it’s not something that can be achieved merely by updating encryption algorithms and protocols. Instead, you need to adapt your organization’s cryptographic architecture, automation, and governance to allow for greater control and flexibility.

In part 2, we discuss a framework for discovery, prioritization, and remediation while keeping crypto-agility in mind. A quantum-safe journey requires:

• Inventory of Systems With Non-Quantum-Safe Algorithms And Protocols
• System Prioritization, Leading To A Migration Roadmap
• Remediation, Including Vendors And Partners

Once a distant possibility, Q-Day is quickly approaching. Are you ready for 2030?

What happens when secure coding guidance goes stale? What happens LLMs write code from scratch? Mark Curphy walks us through his experience updating documentation for writing secure code in Go and recreating one of his own startups.

One of the themes of this conversation is how important documentation is, whether it's intended for humans or for prompts to LLMs. Importantly, LLMs don't innovate on their own -- they rely on the data they're trained on. And that means there should be good authoritative sources for what secure code looks like. It also means that instructions to LLMs need to be clear and precise enough to produce something useful. Watch what happens when Mark prompts his agents to run a live demo for us!

This episode is all about trust getting abused at scale.

We start with Chinese-nexus operators pivoting fast onto Qatar using conflict lures and familiar tradecraft.

Then we hit banking, because they deserve it: Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland customers seeing other people’s transactions in-app, a straight confidentiality failure, not “someone hacked my phone”.

From there it’s the Middle East conflict exposing what “cloud resilience” really means when the problem isn’t cyber, it’s physical disruption and dependency chains. Then Meta’s takedown of 150,000 scam-linked accounts shows the fraud supply chain is still running hot, and the platforms are now part of the battleground whether they like it or not.

The Microsoft story is the one to watch: a critical Excel bug that turns Copilot Agent into a zero-click data leak path. And the AI agent theme keeps going with Context7: attackers slipping instructions into “helpful” context and getting agents to do dumb, destructive things on their behalf.

We finish with Stryker having the worst day with a major outage, disputed claims, and a reminder that if your management plane gets hit, you can lose the whole estate fast. Look at Intune.

No hype. Just the stuff that actually breaks systems, me talking too fast, which to be honest 'slow' is why I turn most podcasts off.

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 prevent them. For decades, we've focused on the Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and have played whack-a-mole to try and patch them. Instead, we should focus on the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and leverage LLMs to understand the behavior of the attack. Once we understand the behaviors, we can implement preventative controls to minimize exposure. And yes, AI can also help us automate patching, when we're ready to trust it.

Medical devices are a special segment of the IoT world where availability and patient safety are paramount. Tamil Mathi explains why many devices need to fail open -- the opposite of what traditional appsec approaches might initially think -- and what makes threat modeling these devices interesting and unique. He also covers how to get started in this space, from where to learn hardware hacking basics to reviewing firmware and moving up the stack to the application layer.

Breaking in with ClickFix: Anatomy of a modern endpoint attack

Cybersecurity company Huntress just published a report on a new ClickFix variant they’ve discovered, which they’ve dubbed CrashFix. This technique was developed by KongTuke to serve as the primary lure within a new custom malicious browser extension also created by the group.

In short, the team observed the threat actors using KongTuke’s malicious browser extension to display a fake security warning, claiming the browser had “stopped abnormally” and prompting users to run a “scan” to remediate the threats. Upon “running the scan,” the user is presented with a fake “Security issues detected” alert and instructed to manually “fix” the issue by opening the Windows Run dialog, pasting from their clipboard, and pressing Enter.

The malicious extension silently copies a PowerShell command to the clipboard, disguised as a legitimate repair command. From there, they execute the malicious command.

Continuous compliance and real security lifecycle management

Supply chain attacks are not just on the rise; attackers are learning from the past, making these attacks even more effective and dangerous than before. It was just over a month ago when the Shai-Hulud attack first impacted NPM packages, forcing enterprises around the world into lockdown. While only 187 packages were compromised in that initial incident, it served as a wake-up call for many: an accurate inventory of systems is good, but a clear, real-time Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for applications is non-negotiable.

In this world of manifest based infrastructure and container based applications with (real) "devsecops", the dream of continuous upgrades of OS/Runtime/Stack/App and App Dependencies is very mature and there are solid examples of companies and federal entities managing this at scale without thousands of teams and people.

With the introduction of Agentic AI, autonomous "everything" is all the rage. But we've been burned by automation in the past. Remember the days of Intrusion Prevention Systems and why we never put them into blocking mode? 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 over time. Automation is not about laying off employees, it's about efficiency and speed. Tim will guide us on a journey to build automation we can trust that allow us to reduce repetitive work and minimize human error without creating fear of “machine mistakes.”

As more developers turn to LLMs to generate code, more appsec teams are turning to LLMs to conduct security code reviews. One of the biggest themes in all the discussion around LLMs, agents, and code is speed -- more code created faster. James Wickett shares why speed continues to pose a challenge to appsec teams and why that's often because teams haven't invested enough in foundational appsec principles.

The current state of OT security and business resilience

In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk.

Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time.

"It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much. Stocks recover, insurance covers the bulks of the losses, fines are paid, and lawsuits are settled. Most businesses can comfortably absorb the impact, so the threat of reputational harm or financial losses just aren't slowing them down.

In the case of Ivanti, where the reputational harm was extreme, the company's companies continue to get hacked as critical vulnerabilities keep getting discovered in their products.

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 drivers is the key to addressing trust, both internally and externally, and how it solves the biggest security priorities for organizations, including:

• Data Privacy
• AI Security, and
• Nth Party Risk

Journalists put a lot of effort into collecting information and protecting their sources, but everyone can benefit from having a digital environment that's more secure and more privacy protecting. Runa Sandvik shares her experience working with journalists and targeted groups to craft plans for how they use their devices and manage their information. And she also makes the point that the burden of security should not be just for users -- platforms and software providers should be evaluating secure defaults and secure designs that improve protections for everyone.

Bringing intelligence to assets

You’ve been through 6 CMDB projects in the last decade. None of them came close to the original goals, the CMDB was already out-of-date long before the project had any hopes of completing. Is building an asset inventory just too ambitious a project for most organizations, or is there a better way?

Tim Morris shares a different approach with us today. It might require some convincing and some courage, but it seems much more likely to succeed than any of your past CMDB efforts…

More than 48,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2025, yet only about 1% are actively exploited. However, you’re expected to mitigate all vulnerabilities, or at least critical and high. But what if there is no patch to fix the vulnerability or the software is unsupported?

Ben Lipcynski, Director Security and Regulatory Services at Optima, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how organizations can take back control of your enterprise software. OPTAS — Origina Proactive Threat Assurance Service — predicts, validates, prioritizes, and mitigates threats specific to your environment. Unlike AI vulnerability tools that flag everything without context or mitigation guidance, OPTAS cuts through the noise.

A major premise of appsec is figuring out effective ways to answer the question, "What security flaws are in this code?" The nature of the question doesn't really change depending on who or what wrote the code. In other words, LLMs writing code really just means there's mode code to secure. So, what about using LLMs to find security flaws? Just how effective and efficient are they?

We talk with Adrian Sanabria and John Kinsella about the latest appsec articles that show a range of results from finding memory corruption bugs in open source software to spending an inordinate amount of manual effort validating persuasive, but ultimately incorrect, security findings from an LLM.
