  • Identity Has Become the New Security Perimeter

    The traditional network perimeter has largely dissolved, replaced
    by a security landscape centered around identity, cloud access, machine
    interactions, and third-party connectivity. In this conversation, Dustin Wilcox
    examines why identity has become foundational to modern security architecture
    and why many organizations still struggle to govern it effectively at scale.
    The interview also explores executive communication, balancing usability with
    security controls, and the operational risks organizations continue creating in
    the pursuit of speed and convenience.

  • Why Email Still Works for Attackers

    Despite years of awareness training and security investment, email

    remains one of the most effective attack vectors in cybersecurity. In this
    conversation, Ryan Toscano discusses why organizations continue struggling with
    phishing, impersonation, and social engineering at scale. The interview
    examines the tension between security, usability, and customer trust, the
    operational fatigue created by overwhelming security telemetry, and whether
    organizations are still treating email security too much as a technical problem
    instead of a human one.

  • Why Security Debt May Be a Bigger Risk Than Security Spend

    Organizations continue investing heavily in cybersecurity, yet many are simultaneously increasing operational complexity and long-term security fragility. In this interview, Selim Aissi explains the concept of security debt and why it may be a more meaningful measure of cyber risk than security budget size alone. The conversation explores how organizations unintentionally create risk through tool sprawl and operational complexity, how boards should think about long-term cyber resilience, and why AI and cloud expansion are accelerating security debt faster than many enterprises can manage.

  • Cybersecurity on the Front Lines of Critical Infrastructure

    Critical infrastructure operators are facing a rapidly evolving threat landscape where cyberattacks can create real-world operational disruption with national and economic consequences. In this conversation, Vaughn Hazen explores the growing convergence of cybercrime, geopolitics, and operational technology risk across transportation and logistics environments. The discussion examines the unique security challenges of protecting large-scale operational systems, the realities of resilience and incident response in critical infrastructure, and whether private industry is truly prepared for its expanding role in national cyber defense.

  • Cloud Security at a Breaking Point: AI, Complexity, and the Future of Trust

    As enterprises race to integrate AI, SaaS, APIs, and multi-cloud environments, cloud security complexity is accelerating faster than many organizations can realistically govern. In this conversation, Jim Reavis discusses where enterprise cloud strategy continues to break down, why shared responsibility models still create dangerous accountability gaps, and how AI adoption is exposing weaknesses in identity, trust, and risk management. The discussion also explores the long-term implications of increasingly interconnected cloud ecosystems and the security debt organizations may be unknowingly accumulating.

  • Moving Beyond the Checkbox in Human Risk Management

    Security awareness programs are evolving beyond compliance

    exercises into broader human risk management strategies designed to change
    behavior and reduce organizational exposure. In this conversation, Jason Harper
    discusses the goals behind Uber’s Beyond the Checkbox program, the problems the
    organization was trying to solve, and the lessons learned during
    implementation. The interview also explores leadership feedback, employee
    engagement, and how organizations can rethink security awareness as a measurable
    business risk reduction strategy.

  • The Security Debt Crisis Inside AI-Generated Code

    AI coding assistants are rapidly changing how software is built,

    but they are also introducing new forms of application risk and technical debt.
    In this interview, John Strait examines how organizations are adopting
    AI-generated code, the impact on software quality and vulnerability management,
    and the growing challenge of balancing development speed with secure coding
    practices. The conversation also explores governance gaps, remediation
    limitations, and the blind spots many CISOs still have around application
    security in the age of AI-assisted development.

  • AI-Generated Code and the Expanding Application Security Challenge

    Development teams are increasingly relying on AI coding tools to

    accelerate software delivery, but many organizations still lack visibility into
    the risks introduced by AI-assisted development. In this conversation, Sohail
    Iqbal discusses how AI-generated code is changing software quality,
    vulnerability detection, and application security governance. The interview
    also explores remediation challenges, growing security debt, and the leadership
    decisions CISOs must make to prevent application risk from compounding over
    time.
