In the leadership and communications section, The C-suite gap that's putting your company at risk, CISOs band together to urge world governments to harmonize cyber rules, Cybersecurity is Not Working: Time to Try Something Else, and more! Organizations are increasingly threatened by cyberattacks originating from their suppliers. Existing tools (like EDR, MDR, and XDR) effectively handle threats within an organization, but leave a gap regarding third-party risk. SecurityScorecard created the Supply Chain Detection and Response category to empower organizations to shift from being reactive and uncertain to confidently and proactively protecting their entire supply chain. What is Supply Chain Detection and Response (SCDR)?: https://securityscorecard.com/blog/what-is-supply-chain-detection-and-response/ Learn more about continuous supply chain cyber risk detection and response: https://securityscorecard.com/why-securityscorecard/supply-chain-detection-response/ Claim Your Free SCDR Assessment: https://securitys

We catch up on news after a week of BSidesSF and RSAC Conference. Unsurprisingly, AI in all its flavors, from agentic to gen, was inescapable. But perhaps more surprising (and more unfortunate) is how much the adoption of LLMs has increased the attack surface within orgs. The news is heavy on security issues from MCPs and a novel alignment bypass against LLMs. Not everything is genAI as we cover some secure design topics from the Airborne attack against Apple's AirPlay to more calls for companies to show how they're embracing secure design principles and practices. Apiiro CEO & Co-Founder, Idan Plotnik discusses the AI problem in AppSec. This segment is sponsored by Apiiro. Visit https://securityweekly.com/apiirorsac to learn more about them! Gen AI is being adopted faster than company’s policy and data security can keep up, and as LLM’s become more integrated into company systems and uses leverage more AI enabled applications, they essentially become unintentional data exfiltration points. These tools do

Now in its 18th year, the Verizon Business DBIR is one of the industry’s longest standing and leading reports on the current cybersecurity landscape. This year’s report analyzes more than 22,000 security incidents with victims spanning 139 countries, examining significant growth in third-party involvement in breaches, increases in ransomware and examines the average amounts paid and amount of time to patch vulnerabilities, among many other findings.

The PSW crew discusses tips, tricks, and traps for using AI and LLMs. We discuss a wide range of AI-related topics, including how to utilize AI tools for writing, coding, data analysis, website design, and more! Some key takeaways include: AI has rapidly shifted from novelty to an essential tool in security and other fields. Paid AI versions offer significant advantages for professionals. Legal, ethical, and copyright questions around AI-generated content remain unresolved. Human skills, critical thinking, communication, and adaptability are more important than ever. AI is a powerful assistant, but not a replacement for expertise, creativity, or judgment. Fact-checking AI outputs and understanding bias are critical in the age of generative AI. This episode offers a comprehensive, practical, and philosophical look at how AI is reshaping security, education, and society, providing both optimism and caution for the future.

In today’s ever-evolving business landscape, organizations face diverse risks, including cyber risks, that can significantly affect their operations and overall prosperity. Aligning risk management strategies with organizational objectives is crucial for effectively mitigating these potential threats and fostering sustainable growth. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we discuss the challenges of aligning security and risk to the business, a topic we discuss often on the show. But this time, we do the hard part, by defining Objectives and Key Results aligned to Business Goals. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

In this live recording from BSidesSF we explore the factors that influence a secure design, talk about how to avoid the bite of UX dragons, and why designs should put classes of vulns into dungeons. But we can't threat model a secure design forever and we can't oversimplify guidance for a design to be "more secure". Kalyani Pawar and Jack Cable join the discussion to provide advice on evaluating secure designs through examples of strong and weak designs we've seen over the years. We highlight the importance of designing systems to serve users and consider what it means to have a secure design with a poor UX. As we talk about the strategy and tactics of secure design, we share why framing this as a challenge in preventing dangerous errors can help devs make practical engineering decisions that improve appsec for everyone.

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 topic segment, we discuss the most interesting insights from the 2025 edition of Verizon's DBIR. You c

AI Governance, the next frontier for AI Security. But what framework should you use? ISO/IEC 42001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within organizations. It is designed for entities providing or utilizing AI-based products or services, ensuring responsible development and use of AI systems. But how do you get certified? What's the process look like? Martin Tschammer, Head of Security at Synthesia, joins Business Security Weekly to share his ISO 42001 certification journey. From corporate culture to the witness audit, Martin walks us through the certification process and the benefits they have gained from the certification. If you're considering ISO 42001 certification, this interview is a must see. In the leadership and communications section, Are 2 CEOs Better Than 1?

Secrets end up everywhere, from dev systems to CI/CD pipelines to services, certificates, and cloud environments. Vlad Matsiiako shares some of the tactics that make managing secrets more secure as we discuss the distinctions between secure architectures, good policies, and developer friendly tools. We've thankfully moved on from forced 90-day user password rotations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for rotating secrets. It means that the tooling and processes for ephemeral secrets should be based on secure, efficient mechanisms rather than putting all the burden on users. And it also means that managing secrets shouldn't become an unmanaged risk with new attack surfaces or new points of failure.

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 vu
