Security Weekly Podcast Network (Video)

Live from InfoSec World 2025, this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly features six in-depth conversations with leading voices in cybersecurity, exploring the tools, strategies, and leadership approaches driving the future of enterprise defense. From configuration management and AI-generated threats to emerging frameworks and national standards, this special edition captures the most influential conversations from this year's conference. In this episode: -You Don't Need a Hacker When You Have Misconfigurations — Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker®, discusses how overlooked settings and weak controls continue to be one of the most common causes of breaches. He explains how Defense Against Configurations (DAC) helps organizations identify, map, and remediate configuration risks before attackers can exploit them. -Security Challenges for Mid-Sized Companies — Perry Schumacher, Chief Strategy Officer & Partner at Ridge IT Cyber, explores the evolving security challenges facing mid-sized organizations. He discusses how AI is becoming a competitive advantage, how mobility and third-party reliance complicate defenses, and what steps these organizations can take to improve resilience and efficiency. -The Rise of Security Control Management: Secure by Design, Not by Chance — Marene Allison, former CISO of Johnson & Johnson, introduces Security Control Management (SCM), a new software category that unifies control selection, mapping, validation, and enforcement. She explains how SCM transforms fragmented compliance programs into proactive, embedded defense. -Engineered for Protection: The Rise of Security Control Management — Ryan Heritage, Advisor at Sicura, continues the discussion on SCM, explaining how organizations can operationalize this approach to move from reactive reporting to proactive, data-driven defense. He highlights how automation and integration enable security decisions to be made at "the speed of relevance." -The AI Threat: Protecting Your Email from AI-Generated Attacks — Patricia Titus, Field CISO at Abnormal Security, explores how cybercriminals are weaponizing generative AI to create sophisticated phishing and social engineering attacks. She shares practical strategies for defending against AI-generated threats and emphasizes why AI-based protections are now essential for modern enterprises. -Igniting Change: A Conversation with Dr. Ron Ross — Dr. Ron Ross, CEO at RONROSSECURE, LLC, shares insights from decades of pioneering work in cybersecurity, including the Risk Management Framework and Systems Security Engineering Guidelines. He discusses how leaders can apply these principles to strengthen resilience, foster innovation, and drive meaningful change across the cybersecurity landscape.

What are your favorite resources for secure code? Co-hosts John Kinsella and Kalyani Pawar talk about the reality of bringing security into a business. We talk about the role of the OWASP Top 10 and the OWASP ASVS in crafting security programs. And balance that with a discussion in what's the best use of everyone's time -- developers and appsec folks alike -- in crafting code that's secure by design rather than just secure from scanner results.

Interview with Ravid Circus Ravid will discuss why security and engineering misalignment is the biggest barrier to fast, effective remediation, using data from Seemplicity's 2025 Remediation Operations Report. This is costing some teams days of unnecessary exposure, which can lead to major security implications for organizations.

Some want more technical details and question the report's conclusions. How automated was it, really? I found it odd that Anthropic's CEO was on 60 minutes the same week, talking about how dangerous AI is (which is his company's primary and only product). I think one of the more interesting things to discuss is how Anthropic has based its identity and brand on AI safety. While so many other SaaS companies appear to be doing the bare minimum to stop attacks against their customers, Anthropic is putting significant resources into testing for future threats and discovering active attacks.
