Episode notes
Drones As Disruption Tools
- Drone incursions in Europe are real and have likely been launched from a boarded tanker linked to Russian ownership.
- These drones aim to create disruption (airport shutdowns) rather than stealthy destruction, shifting hybrid-warfare dynamics.
Cost Asymmetry Changed Warfare
- Cheap commercial drones have changed the asymmetry of conflict by making high-impact attacks inexpensive.
- Defenders now must redesign tactics and platforms to counter low-cost, widely available threats.
Patch And Hunt Oracle EBS Now
- Immediately test and deploy Oracle's July Critical Patch Update for E-Business Suite vulnerabilities.
- Verify signs of compromise and hunt for chained exploit activity rather than assuming patching alone is sufficient.
