This episode unpacks the sweeping changes introduced by Executive Order 14306, a mandate that shifts security from reactive checklists to continuous, proactive defense. We explore how the order accelerates AI adoption, reshapes software supply chain security, raises the bar for cloud and IoT, and demands automated remediation as the new standard. Learn why this directive is more than compliance, it’s a pivot toward resilient, real-time cybersecurity.

With vulnerabilities growing at record speed, manual patching can’t keep up. This episode dives into how AI and automation are transforming vulnerability management—scanning continuously, prioritizing intelligently, and triggering auto remediation. Learn how autonomous solutions reduce human error, accelerate response times, and shape the future of proactive cybersecurity.

Two Sides of the Same Shield: Integrating Vulnerability Management with Patch Management for Effective Remediation

Security teams are drowning in vulnerabilities, but patching alone isn’t enough. This episode explores how integrating vulnerability management with patch management through risk-based patching, automation, and collaboration, turns reactive fixes into proactive remediation. Learn how to prioritize what matters, reduce exposure faster, and build resilience against today’s relentless threats.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes security a non-negotiable, lifecycle mandate, far beyond box-ticking. In this episode, Katie and James unpack CRA pillars (risk-based classification, SBOM transparency, secure-by-default updates) and show how Preemptive Exposure Management unifies discovery, prioritization, and remediation to build true resilience, not just compliance.

Those “update now” pop-ups are more than chores, they’re frontline defense. Katie and James break down why patching is essential yet hard (volume, downtime fears, fragmented tools) and how automation, risk-based prioritization, cross-platform coverage, and virtual patching turn updates into real resilience and compliance.

Security isn’t just finding vulnerabilities, it’s fixing them. Katie and James break down why remediation is so hard, the pitfalls that stall teams, and how automation and smart prioritization turn endless alerts into real risk reduction.

Is manual security remediation still cutting it? In this episode, Katie and James explore how automated cybersecurity remediation is transforming the way organizations defend against threats, moving from reactive firefighting to lightning-fast, proactive protection. Learn what it is, why it matters, and how to implement it safely at scale.

Traditional vulnerability scans just don’t cut it anymore. In this episode of The Deep Dive, Katie and James unpack the evolution from outdated vulnerability tools to Exposure Management Platforms (EMPs), the new essential for proactive, real-time cyber defense. Learn how EMPs help you prioritize real risk, automate remediation, and deliver measurable protection at scale. Whether you’re a CISO, security analyst, or just cyber-curious, this is your blueprint for staying ahead in today’s threat landscape.

In this episode of Fix it first - remediation reimagined podcast, we explore a game-changing cybersecurity strategy: Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM). With 40,000 new CVEs logged in 2024 and machine-speed attacks driven by AI, traditional vulnerability management is no longer enough. Join us as we break down how CISOs can move from reactive defense to proactive prevention, erasing risks before attackers strike. Packed with real-world insights, Gartner guidance, and a practical PEM roadmap, this is your blueprint for reclaiming control.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore why Asimov’s famous Three Laws of Robotics fall short in the real world of artificial intelligence. As AI shapes decisions in finance, healthcare, hiring, and content moderation, we dig into the unintended consequences, emotional harm, algorithmic bias, blind obedience, and lack of transparency. What does “harm” really mean in modern AI systems? How can companies build more ethical, explainable, and accountable AI? Join us for a candid discussion on redefining AI governance, ethics by design, and the urgent need for human oversight in high-stakes AI decisions.
