Interview with Danny Jenkins: How badly configured are your endpoints?
Misconfigurations are one of the most overlooked areas in terms of security program quick wins. Everyone freaks out about vulnerabilities, patching, and exploits.
Meanwhile, security tools are misconfigured. Thousands of unused software packages increase remediation effort and attack surface. The most basic misconfigurations lead to breaches. Threatlocker spotted this opportunity and have extended their agent-based product to increase attention on these common issues.

Interview with Wendy Nather: Recalibrating how we think about AI
AI and the case for toxic anthropomorphism. When Wendy coined this phrase on Mastodon a few weeks ago, I knew that she had hit on something important and that we needed to discuss it on this podcast.
We were lucky to find some time for Wendy to come on the show!
Quick note: while this was not a sponsored segment, 1Password IS currently a sponsor of this podcast. That doesn't really change the conversation any, except that I have to be nice to Wendy. But why would anyone ever be mean to Wendy???
