Ep. 58 - Double Dragon: How China's APT 41 Works for the State by Day - and Itself by Night

China's cyber shadow has already reached your software. APT 41 — known as Double Dragon — isn't just stealing state secrets. They've pioneered a new generation of supply chain attacks, trojanizing the shared code libraries that thousands of organizations trust without question. And their latest splinter unit, UAT 7290, has been inside North American developer environments for over a year — not triggering anything, just watching, learning, and waiting to strike in a way that looks completely native.

Ep. 57 - Russia's Proxy Bridge: BlackCat, Scattered Spider, and the Kremlin

In Part 4 of our Russian intelligence series, host Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley map the proxy bridge between Western teenage hackers and Moscow. BlackCat (ALPHV) ransomware-as-a-service is the operational hinge: Scattered Spider breaks in, BlackCat encrypts, and the FSB watches the dashboard. Hear how the Kremlin earns plausible deniability, why a $115M extortion stream self-funds Russian intelligence, and what MI6's new "hybrid shadow war" warning means for defenders simulating Rust-based ransomware in their own networks.

Ep. 56 - 10,000 Bugs, 12 That Matter: Using AI to Cut Through Exposure Noise with CTEM

Are you still stuck on the vulnerability hamster wheel? In this episode of the Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin is joined by SafeBreach VP of Product Koby Bar and offensive security expert Adrian Culley to unpack a major shift in how enterprises approach proactive security — and to announce the launch of SafeBreach Helm, the AI validation layer built for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM).

CTEM Explained in 60 Seconds (And Why Your Security Strategy Has Gaps)

(CTEM) Continuous Threat Exposure Management—isn't just another framework. It's a philosophy for finally connecting the parts of your security program that aren't talking to each other. SafeBreach Helm makes it actionable for any organization, no matter where you're starting from.

Ep. 55 - The 'Typhoon' Hack: How China Hid Inside Your Home Router

Your home router isn’t just sitting there. It might already be part of a global cyberattack. In Part 2 of our deep dive into Chinese cyber operations, Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley unpack the “Typhoon” threat groups—Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, and Flax Typhoon—and how they’re quietly reshaping modern cyber warfare. This isn’t about stealing data. It’s about staying hidden, pre-positioning, and being ready to strike.

China-Linked Hackers Could Be Using Your WiFi Right Now

China-linked cyber groups have been hijacking everyday home routers—Linksys, Netgear, even small Cisco devices—and turning them into global proxy networks. That means an attacker can: This isn’t theoretical. In 2024–2025, massive botnets made of thousands of home routers were dismantled. The scariest part? Most people had no idea their device was involved.

Ep. 54 - EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Explained: What Every Security Leader Must Do Now

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to transform cybersecurity—from a best practice into a legal requirement. But what does that "actually" mean for security teams, product leaders, and CISOs? In this episode, host Tova Dvorin and cybersecurity expert Adrian Culley break down the CRA in plain terms—and explain why the shift to continuous security validation is unavoidable. You’ll learn: With enforcement deadlines approaching and significant penalties on the horizon, the message is clear: If your security testing isn’t continuous, it’s not CRA-ready.

Ep. 53 - The Dragon's Shadow: China's Silent Cyber War Has Already Begun

What if the next cyberattack doesn’t steal your data…but quietly prepares to break your infrastructure? In this premiere episode of our series on Chinese threat actors, we uncover how China transformed from noisy, smash-and-grab hackers into the world’s most sophisticated cyber power—one focused not just on espionage, but on pre-positioning inside critical infrastructure. Through a chilling real-world scenario, we explore a new kind of threat: digital landmines—subtle, invisible changes inside power grids, telecommunications networks, and industrial systems that can be triggered at any time.

Ep. 52 - The Russian Cyber Triad: GRU, SVR, FSB Explained

In this episode of the Cyber Resilience Brief, we shift from chaotic cybercriminals to the calculated world of Russian nation-state threat actors—breaking down the three agencies that dominate Russia’s cyber operations: the GRU, SVR, and FSB. What many organizations mistakenly treat as a single “Russian threat” is actually a complex ecosystem of competing intelligence agencies—each with distinct goals, tactics, and operational philosophies.
