OpenClaw as a Security Threat - The 443 Podcast - Episode 358
This week on the podcast, we discuss OpenClaw, the open source chatbot that has exploded in popularity since launching late last year, and some of the risk it introduces to organizations. Before that, we chat about Ring's Super Bowl advertisement that caused a stir before ending with a Google Threat Intelligence Group report on advanced threat actor AI usage.
Ep 30: What is data pipeline management, and why does it matter for security?
On this episode of Masters of Data, we're joined by Eric Avery, Sumo Logic's head of infrastructure and data, to break down data pipeline management: efficiently moving massive data volumes from multiple sources to one usable location. We explore how pipelines fuel analytics and AI, the role of data transformation, and where OpenTelemetry fits in. Eric shares insights from processing 3.5 exabytes daily and how AI has reignited excitement around data. We also cover pipeline security, the shift from data lakes to AI-powered platforms, and practical digital security tips.
Generate audit-ready vulnerability and compliance reports with Datadog Sheets
Security teams are frequently asked to provide clear, time-bounded evidence of their organization’s security posture. Whether the request comes from external auditors validating SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or internal governance reviews, they typically require collecting vulnerability data from multiple tools, reconciling resource lists, and manually generating spreadsheets for auditors. This process is slow, error-prone, and difficult to repeat consistently.

Corelight at SC25: A laboratory for securing the fastest conference network
I’ve worked as a threat hunter in several Black Hat Security Conference Network Operations Centers (NOCs) across the globe. So I didn’t expect to be surprised by much when signing on to be a part of the NOC for SCinet—a conference that has the “fastest conference network in the world.” And yet I was surprised by just how diverse the SCinet NOC team was, how collaborative the environment was, and how much we were able to achieve with automation in such a short amount of time.

Weaving Security into the Flow: New Snyk Studio Capabilities Power the AI Security Fabric
The promise of AI-driven development is speed. But security teams face a binary choice: slow down the AI train to ensure safety, or let it run wild and accumulate risk. At Snyk, we believe you shouldn't have to choose.
CYJAX vs. SOC Radar: Different Approaches to Cyber Threat Intelligence
A detailed comparison of CYJAX and SOC Radar, exploring differences in automation, analyst-led investigations, RFIs, and intelligence depth to help security teams choose the right CTI platform. When organisations evaluate cyber threat intelligence platforms, the differences often go far beyond feature lists. They come down to philosophy, depth, and how intelligence is actually used in high-pressure environments.
