Episode description
On this week’s show, Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by special guest co-host Brad Arkin. They discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
- The US Government says we just have to patch faster, but…
- Bugs in cPanel, MoveIt and all Linux distributions this week show that patching alone isn’t enough
- James gets mad about lame AI Agent adoption advice from the US and Australian Governments
- James Kettle and Niels Provos both showed us that any model can find 0day like Mythos
- And the cyber-assisted theft of cargo results in an astonishing loss of $725 million dollars
This week’s show is sponsored by SpecterOps. Their CTO, Jared Atkinson, chats to Pat about the big changes in the threat landscape, brought about by AI, that are causing a pivot away from detection and remediation, and toward prevention.
