Segment 1: Interview with Monzy Merza - There is a Right and Wrong Way to use AI in the SOC

In the rush to score AI funding dollars, a lot of startups build a basic wrapper around existing generative AI services like those offered by OpenAI and Anthropic. As a result, these services are expensive, and don't satisfy many security operations teams' privacy requirements.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when discussing the challenges of using AI to aid the SOC. In this interview, we'll dive into the challenge of finding security vendors that care about security, the need for transparency in products, the evolving shared responsibility model, and other topics related to solving security operations challenges.

Segment 2: Topic Segment - How much AI is too much AI?

In the past few weeks, I've talked to several startup founders who are running into buyers that aren’t allowed to purchase their products, even though they want them and prefer them over the competition. Why? No AI and they’re not allowed to buy.

Segment 3: News Segment

Finally, in the enterprise security news,

  1. We cover the latest funding
  2. The Trustwave saga comes to a positive end
  3. Android 16 could help you evade law enforcement
  4. Microsoft is kicking 3rd party AV out of the kernel
  5. Giving AI some personality (and honesty)
  6. Log4shell canaries reveal password weirdness
  7. Denmark gives citizens copyright to their own faces to fight AI
  8. McDonald’s has an AI whoopsie
  9. Ingram Micro has a ransomware whoopsie
  10. Drama in the trailer lock industry

All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

Single Sign On (SSO) and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is critical to secure operations for companies of all sizes. Why is the foundation of cybersecurity still locked behind enterprise licensing? Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are essential—not optional—for protecting modern businesses. But today, these critical tools are overpriced, overcomplicated, and reserved for companies that can afford to overpay and have full-time security teams. That’s broken. Cubeless is tearing down the barriers. With Cubeless Verify, we’re delivering SSO and MFA that anyone can use—no IT army required. No hidden fees. No contracts. No catch. Just enterprise-grade security made simple, and free forever. The gatekeepers had their turn. Now it’s yours. Go to https://securityweekly.com/cubelessidv to start using Cubeless Identity today.

As AI agents move beyond experiments to becoming critical internal and market-facing enterprise products, secure, scalable identity infrastructure becomes essential to achieve market-readiness. A lack of identity standards tailored specifically for AI agents, is creating a roadblock for developers. Existing infrastructure was not designed with autonomous agents in mind. How will identity standards need to evolve in order to meet the needs of an agent driven ecosystem? https://frontegg.com/product/frontegg-ai This segment is sponsored by Frontegg.

Interview with Dave Lewis

Organizations believe they have a firm grip on security with SSO and corporate IT policies, but in reality, shadow IT lurks in the background—expanding attack surfaces and exposing sensitive data. Employees bypass security controls for the sake of convenience, while SSO fails to provide the comprehensive security net organizations expect. Talk about the critical weaknesses in traditional SSO implementations, how shadow IT thrives under the radar, and why enterprises continue to experience data breaches despite security investments. Can cover real-world examples of security failures, highlight the role of human behavior in risk, and provide actionable strategies to regain control over enterprise security.

Topic Segment: Is AI taking our jerbs or not?

I listened to most of a debate between Marcus Hutchins and Daniel Miessler over whether generative AI will be good enough to replace a lot of jobs (Daniel's take), or so bad that it won't take any (Marcus's take). I got frustrated though, because I feel like some foundational assumptions were ignored, and not enough examples were shared or prepared.

Assumption #1: Jobs exist because work needs to be done. This is a false assumption. Check out a book called "Bullshit Jobs" to go down this particular rabbit hole.

Assumption #2: The primary task of a job is the job. This is rarely the case, unless you work in the service industry. How much of a developer's job is writing code? A lot less than you think. Employees spend a massive amount of time communicating with other employees, via meetings, emails, Slack chats - can AI replace this? Maybe all that communication is wasteful and inefficient? Could be, but for every job AI supposedly replaces, it becomes someone else's job to manage that AI agent. Does all of middle management become expert prompt engineers, or do they also disappear with no employees to manage?

Assumption #3: Jobs aren't already being replaced. They are, they're just not terribly visible jobs. That contractor your marketing team was using to build blog/SEO content? He's probably gone. The in-house or contract graphic designer? Probably gone. There's a whole swath of jobs out there, where quality isn't very important, but work needs to be produced, and those jobs are being actively replaced with generative AI. With that said, I don't see any full time jobs that require quality work and a lot of communication with other employees getting replaced. Yet? Ever? That's the question.

In this era of technological advancements where businesses are going digital and more cloud based while preferring remote work environment, cyber threats are surprising growing at the rate never seen before. This makes Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) no more an optional thing but a core crucial requirement. These are not just IT tools anymore- they are important for the security of people, data, and operations. More and more organizations from different industries are now turning to IAM and PAM as managed services to handle the growing complexity of access control and cybersecurity. Why? Because managing identity internally is becoming harder, more expensive, and riskier. With a trusted managed service partner, businesses gain expert support, 24/7 monitoring, scalability, and peace of mind—all while staying compliant and secure. This segment will explore how IAM and PAM managed services are helping companies reduce risk, simplify operations, and stay ahead of evolving security challenges. Whether you're an IT leader, security professional, or business decision-maker, you’ll learn why outsourcing identity and access management is quickly becoming a smart, strategic move for the modern enterprise https://www.idmexpress.com/blogs https://www.idmexpress.com/post/cyberark-privileged-access-management-pam-implementation https://www.idmexpress.com/iam-products This segment is sponsored by IDMEXPRESS.

Blumira

In the evolving world of cybersecurity, the shift from a purely threat-centric mindset to a focus on operational excellence is no longer just a trend—it’s a necessity. Matthew Warner, CEO and co-founder of Blumira, argues that this shift is particularly crucial for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the managed service providers (MSPs) that support them. Matthew believes that traditional SIEM and detection solutions have historically fallen short for these organizations, often due to their complexity, high cost, and steep learning curves. As a result, many SMBs have struggled to keep up with the sophistication of modern threats. Blumira was founded to change that.

Matthew’s vision is rooted in democratizing security—making powerful, automated detection and response tools simple, affordable, and accessible for everyone, especially those who need them most. By designing platforms that prioritize operational excellence—efficiency, usability, and actionable intelligence—Blumira enables organizations to be proactive rather than reactive. During the conversation, Matthew will share insights into the latest technologies and trends transforming the cybersecurity space, and offer actionable guidance for IT decision-makers. He'll explore how shifting strategy from chasing every alert to building a solid, efficient operational foundation can lead to better outcomes and stronger protection in the long run.

Security should be accessible to everyone. At Blumira, we’re building the future of detection and response — simple, smart, and built to empower the teams who need it most. Check out https://securityweekly.com/blumirarsac and take control of your security today.

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.

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.

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. https://resources.silverfort.com/identity-security-playbook/home https://www.silverfort.com/blog/shining-the-spotlight-on-the-rising-risks-of-non-human-identities/ This segment is sponsored by Silverfort.

As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data.

In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He’ll explore the need for Extended Access Management, a modern approach that ensures every identity is authentic, every device is healthy, and every application sign-in is secure, including the unmanaged ones. Tune in to learn how security teams can bridge the Access-Trust Gap while empowering employees with frictionless security.

In this interview, we're excited to speak with Pravi Devineni, who was into AI before it was insane. Pravi has a PhD in AI and remembers the days when machine learning (ML) and AI were synonymous. This is where we'll start our conversation: trying to get some perspective around how generative AI has changed the overall landscape of AI in the enterprise.

Then, we move on to the topic of AI safety and whether that should be the CISO's job, or someone else's.

Finally, we'll discuss the future of AI and try to end on a positive or hopeful note!

What a time to have this conversation! Mere days from the certain destruction of CVE, averted only in the 11th hour, we have a chat about vulnerability management lifecycles. CVEs are definitely part of them.

Vulnerability management is very much a hot mess at the moment for many reasons. Even with perfectly stable support from the institutions that catalog and label vulnerabilities from vendors, we'd still have some serious issues to address, like:

  • disconnects between vulnerability analysts and asset owners
  • gaps and issues in vulnerability discovery and asset management
  • different options for workflows between security and IT: which is best?
  • patching it like you stole it

Oh, did we mention Matt built an open source vuln scanner?

Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most.

The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up.

Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead. This is what we’ll be talking to Threatlocker’s CEO and co-founder, Danny Jenkins, about on this episode. They seemed to have cracked the code here and are eager to share how they did it.

We wanted security data? We got it! Now, what the heck do we DO with all of it?

The core challenge of security operations, incident response, and even compliance is still a data management and analysis problem. Which is why we’re seeing companies like Abstract Security pop up to address some of these challenges.

Abstract just released a comprehensive eBook on security data strategy, linked below, and you don’t even need to give up an email address to read it! In this interview, we’ll talk through some of the highlights:

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap.

Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same.

Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited.

Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach?

We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills.
