Cynthia Kaiser explains how Mythos and AI are making initial access easier for ransomware groups. Watch the full video on our channel.

- What happens when the adversary’s dwell time is measured in years, but your defense is measured in tickets? Adam Karcher, FBI Supervisory Special Agent, Cyber Division, and a member of the Bureau’s AI Working Group, joins the show to break down the "convergent evolution" of modern cyber threats. Karcher explains why defenders are often stuck in a cleanup cycle, while threat actors operate in a sophisticated, compartmentalized ecosystem that requires a fundamental shift in defensive strategy.

- Dr. Ido Sivan Sevilla joins host Caleb Tolin to break down battlefield stories from a massive analysis of over 3,000 local government entities. Dr. Sivan Sevilla, who serves as an Assistant Professor at the UMD College of Information and holds joint positions at the Hebrew University School of Public Policy & Governance and the School of Computer Science and Engineering, brings a multidisciplinary lens to the alarming reality of risk clusters.

How threat actors use AnyDesk and TeamViewer to bypass security.

An incident is not the time to be testing your recovery protocols. Kyle Fiehler recently joined us on Data Security Decoded to provide us with some questions you can ask before an attack in order to reduce your MTTR once that incident does occur. Add the full episode to your queue!

“The cybersecurity industry as we knew it is dead." Rubrik CEO Bipul Sinha explains why the security industry’s obsession with "walls and detection" has failed. AI-powered attacks have reduced the window between intrusion and breach to zero seconds. The only path forward is a fundamental shift from reactive defense to preemptive recovery, at machine speed.

John Fokker discusses how attackers stay hidden in hospital networks for nearly a year.

In this episode, host ⁠Caleb Tolin⁠ explores the battlefield of enterprise defense, which has moved from simple data theft to ultra heinous crimes that put patient outcomes at risk. Guest ⁠Cynthia Kaiser⁠ shares Battlefield Stories from her time at the FBI and her current work as SVP of the Ransomware Research Center at ⁠Halcyon⁠ (@halcyonsecurity ) illustrating how the industrialization of cybercrime has reached a tipping point. They dive into the alarming reality of modern dwell times, specifically looking at how groups like Akira move from initial access to full encryption in as little as one hour.

You may not be aware of how valuable your backups are: they can contain extremely valuable information that leaves a record of what your other security tools may have missed. This is just one of the many interesting tidbits Kyle Fiehler provided on his recent episode of Data Security Decoded. Kyle also explains how threat actors exploit backup blind spots, why identity and recovery are now prime attack surfaces, and how security leaders can rethink MTTR.

Nicole Perlroth sits down with Nicholas Carlini for an Out of Band conversation on the imminent zero-day surge. Carlini explains what Mythos can already do: find and exploit flaws in some of the world’s most hardened, widely deployed software—with minimal human input. He details what Mythos has already hacked, which now includes most of the operating systems in use.
