In this episode of Breaking Badness, Kali, Tim, and Taylor discuss two major stories shaking up the cybersecurity world. First, a researcher has discovered how attackers are exploiting Whois data to grant themselves unprecedented superpowers in the digital space. Second, the Internet Archive suffers a breach possibly exposing 31 million accounts, raising questions about the security of trusted online platforms. Join the team as they break down these complex stories, share lessons learned, and explore how organizations can better protect themselves in similar situations.

In this episode of Breaking Badness, we dive deep into the evolving world of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and its critical role in modern cybersecurity. With threats advancing and the sheer volume of endpoint data skyrocketing, AI and deep learning are becoming game changers in threat detection and prevention. Join us as Carl Froggett, CIO at Deep Instinct, and Melissa Bischoping, Senior Director of Security at Tanium, discuss the past, present, and future of EDR, the impact of AI on cybersecurity, and how SOC teams are evolving to stay ahead of bad actors. Learn about how generative AI is influencing attacks, the challenge of SOC burnout, and the innovations shaping the future of endpoint security.

In this episode of Breaking Badness, we dive deep into the critical world of API security and governance, uncovering key strategies to keep data safe in today’s threat landscape. Special guests Matthias Friedlingsdorf (iVerify), Tristan Kalos (ESCAPE), and Aqsa Taylor (Gutsy) join the conversation to share their experiences with detecting advanced threats like Pegasus, the importance of API governance, and the powerful role bug bounty programs play in identifying critical vulnerabilities. Whether you're an API developer, cybersecurity professional, or someone navigating the risks of mobile device exploits, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to better protect your digital assets.

In this episode of Breaking Badness, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity with three industry leaders: Raymond Dijkxhoorn, CEO of SURBL; Nabil Hannan, Field CISO at NetSPI; and Jason Mar-Tang, Field CISO at Pentera. They explore the critical role of domain reputation in combating phishing and spam, how AI is reshaping both offensive and defensive cybersecurity strategies, and the growing threat of ransomware in today’s digital landscape. With insights from BlackHat and beyond, we discuss everything from the future of phishing defense to the challenges AI poses in securing sensitive data, as well as how ransomware continues to evolve. Tune in to gain actionable insights on staying ahead of cyber threats and protecting your digital domain.

In this insightful discussion, Pukar Hamal, CEO of SecurityPal, and Vinay Anand, Chief Product Officer at NetSPI, dive into vulnerability management and supply chain security. They illuminate the complexity of managing vulnerabilities and the essential metrics of mean time to detect and repair. The conversation highlights the evolving role of C-suite executives in fostering cyber resilience. Additionally, they stress the importance of continuous trust in vendor relationships and proactive measures for a robust cybersecurity framework.

In this special Black Hat edition of the Breaking Badness Cybersecurity Podcast, Part 1 of a 5 Part Series, we dive deep into how artificial intelligence is transforming the cybersecurity landscape. Our guests—Mark Wojtasiak (VP of Product at Vectra AI), Carl Froggett (CIO at Deep Instinct), Dan Fernandez (Staff Product Manager at Chainguard), and Marcus Ludwig (CEO of Ticura)—join us to explore the evolution of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), the growing threats posed by generative AI, and the complexities of securing AI in supply chains. With AI becoming a tool for both attackers and defenders, this episode uncovers the ongoing "AI arms race" and highlights the urgent need for a more preventative approach to cybersecurity.

In this special research edition of Breaking Badness, hosts Kali Fencl, Tim Helming, Sean McNee, and guest Sasha Angus from Sylla Intel dive deep into the world of cybercriminal campaigns targeting retailers. They explore how bad actors exploit the growing threat landscape, discussing specific fraud tactics, infrastructure reuse, and ways organizations can defend themselves. From pandemic-driven scams to sophisticated brand impersonation schemes, this episode offers valuable insights for both retailers and consumers navigating the complex world of e-commerce security.

Kali Fencl and Daniel Schwalbe sat down with Lesley Carhart, a seasoned incident responder specializing in Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity at Dragos, in person at BlackHat USA 2024. Lesley shares their journey, from their unique background in avionics and electronics to becoming a leading expert in the field. We explore the evolving landscape of OT cybersecurity, the challenges of protecting legacy systems, and the critical importance of building strong relationships between cybersecurity teams and operational engineers. Lesley also discusses the realities of incident response in industrial environments, the misconceptions surrounding OT security, and the human-centric approach needed to tackle these complex issues. Tune in to learn about the delicate balance between innovation and safety in protecting the critical infrastructure that powers our world.
