In this interview we explore the new and sometimes strange world of redteaming AI. I have SO many questions, like what is AI safety? We'll discuss her presence at Black Hat, where she delivered two days of training and participated on an AI safety panel. We'll also discuss the process of pentesting an AI. Will pentesters just have giant cheatsheets or text files full of adversarial prompts? How can we automate this? Will an AI generate adversarial prompts you can use against another AI? And finally, what do we do with the results? Resources: PyRIT AI redteaming tool Microsoft's AI redteaming guide We chat with Sounil Yu, co-founder of LLM access control startup, Knostic. We discuss both the experience of participating in Black Hat's startup competition, and what his company, Knostic, is all about. Knostic was one of four finalists for Black Hat's Startup Spotlight competition and was announced as the winner on August 6th.

Even though Security Champions programs look very different across organizations and maturity levels, they share core principles for becoming successful. Marisa shares her experience in building these programs to foster a positive security culture within companies. She explains the incentives and rewards that lead to more engagement from champions and the benefits that come from so many people being engaged with security.

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Job Search Strategies for CISOs. In part 1, we discuss the challenges facing the CISO role and it's hiring. As CISOs leave the role, the position is not necessarily being refilled. How will this impact future CISO hiring? Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Job Search Strategies for CISOs. In part 2, Jason proposes we blow it all up, while Ben recommends a certification board for CISOs. We have no shortage of suggestions for how to fix the CISO hiring problem.

Remember 20 years ago? When we were certain SIEMs would grant our cybersecurity teams superpowers? Or 10 years ago, when we were sure that NGAV would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 15 years ago, when we were sure that application control would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 18 years ago, when NAC would put an end to unauthorized network access? Why do we keep thinking that the next vendor offering is going to solve all our problems? In this interview, we talk with Fred Wilmot about the hard work of building effective processes and resilient architectures that will actually yield reductions in risk and detection/response capabilities that actually work. We'll discuss shifts in thinking that can move us past the latest distractions, and keep security teams focused on work that moves the needle. Fred may also mention his past transgressions against the industry and what he's doing to "wipe out the red from his ledger". There's plenty of content out there detailing how vendors fall short: scummy, aggressive sales tactics overuse of jargon and buzzwords sneaky sales tactics dumping on competitors products that fall far short of claims ambulance chasing So what should they doing? In this episode, we chat with Dani Wolff, about how marketers can adopt the skills and mindsets of security researchers to improve GTM strategies, without resorting to awful tactics. Drawing from extensive experience in qualitative interviews and collaborations with enterprise security executives and researchers, Dani will uncover how the innate curiosity and analytical prowess of researchers can dismantle unhealthy habits within vendor organizations. We'll also discuss Dani's various projects, including the WTF Did I Just Read podcast, CyberNest, and CyberSynapse. Dani will explain how these are all designed to address the gap between vendors and buyers in the cybersecurity industry.
