The average CISO tenure has dropped from 26 months to six to nine months. Not because the role attracts the wrong people, but because it is structurally designed to fail. In this episode of Follow the White Rabbit, Link11 ISO Kofi Osae-Attah talks to Jeroen Schipper, Chief Security Advisor at DEFION Security about the crisis hiding in plain sight inside security leadership.

Jeroen was CISO of The Hague for seven years, a city that hosts the International Criminal Court, NATO, Europol, and the Dutch royal family. He could predict cyberattacks within 48 hours of any politically sensitive event at the ICC. He knows what sustained pressure feels like from the inside and the cost when organisations refuse to treat it as a structural problem.

The conversation looks at a dynamic that most boards still misread. A CISO identifies the risk, writes the analysis, hands over the signed risk acceptance letter – and still takes the blame when something goes wrong. The question that follows an incident is never "why didn't the board act?" It's always "what did the CISO miss?" That gap between responsibility and authority isn't just unfair. It's a security vulnerability. A burned-out CISO experiences what research calls risk blindness – a desensitisation caused by chronic overload that affects exactly the kind of judgment the organisation is depending on. And unlike an ER doctor, there's rarely anyone who can step in and cover. The good people leave. The revolving door keeps spinning. And every few months, one of the most critical roles in the entire risk structure starts over from scratch.

He organised "Hack The Hague", which involved inviting 120 ethical hackers to attack the city's live infrastructure in the middle of City Hall. This event helped to establish long-lasting board-level commitment to security. His advice for boards is simple: talk to your CISO. Ask what they need. Ask how you can help. If that conversation happened in every boardroom, it could create the shift the profession has been waiting for.

1. CISO burnout is a governance issue, not a personnel issue. 63% of CISOs worldwide have experienced burnout. The role is set up to fail structurally: you are responsible for outcomes you don't control, you report to boards that see security as a cost centre and you are blamed when the risks you have flagged are not addressed.
2. The risk acceptance letter is not a shield. When a CISO documents a risk, escalates it and gets it signed off, only to take the blame when something goes wrong, accountability without authority becomes a trap. Too many CISOs fall into this trap unwittingly.
3. Protect the CISO to protect the organisation. A burned-out CISO develops risk blindness. When someone in your most critical security role leaves after six months, all their knowledge of your environment leaves with them. The revolving door itself is a vulnerability.
4. Hack The Hague worked because commitment came from the top. Inviting 120 hackers to attack live city infrastructure in the middle of City Hall sounds radical. It worked because the council approved it. Start smaller – with a bug bounty programme or a responsible disclosure policy, for example – but get the buy-in first.
5. One conversation can shift the dynamic. Boards don't need a new framework. They need to ask their CISO what they need and how they can help. Making the board the entity that owns the risk, rather than just the CISO, changes everything downstream.

A security analyst experimented with a public AI, meticulously crafting malware capable of evading detection. This wasn't done by a nation state or a criminal gang; it was Northwave, a Dutch cybersecurity firm. Their CTO, Christiaan Ottow, a former ethical hacker, oversaw the experiment. In this episode of Follow the White Rabbit, Kofi Osae-Attah talks with Christiaan about the experiment's findings and his belief that we've reached a critical point he and his team predicted in September.

Christiaan isn't an alarmist. He was skeptical of LLM hype, but the data changed his mind. His incident response team investigated a breach where they gained rare access to the attacker's staging server and found files documenting the AI's reasoning, plans, and execution steps. The attack used zero-day vulnerabilities, pivoted between cloud environments, and went undetected despite the victim having EDR and next-generation firewalls. The attacker didn't need hacking skills; they just needed to find a way around the AI's guardrails. This is the new baseline. The barrier to entry has collapsed, and attribution is becoming impossible as every threat actor uses the same models.

The implications for defenders are stark, but Christiaan's advice is practical. Agentic AI isn't a competitive advantage; it's a baseline requirement. However, speed without structure is dangerous. Automated response needs a fine-grained authority matrix, prompt injection risks need to be engineered around, and most security teams are missing a complete, accurate inventory of their assets and identities. The organizations waiting for proof that this shift is real are about to get it. In the worst possible way.

1. The inflection point has arrived. Christiaan's team predicted it would arrive in April 2026. It arrived on schedule: Anthropic's Mythos, GPT 5.5, and the first fully AI-driven attack investigated by their incident response team all occurred in the same month.
2. AI attackers operate like an entire team. A human hacker has one area of expertise. An AI agent has them all simultaneously: software vulnerabilities, cloud misconfigurations, Windows environments, and identity exploitation. Attribution is becoming nearly impossible.
3. Your defensive AI is also an attack surface. Prompt injection into agentic SOC systems poses a real threat. Treat your AI agent as you would software or a human employee: isolate it technically, provide guardrails, and explicitly train it on what it is allowed to do.
4. Asset and identity inventory is now a top-tier security priority. Knowing what systems you have, what software they run, which API keys exist, and what permissions they carry used to be basic hygiene. Under AI-speed attacks, it's critical infrastructure for incident response.
5. The question isn't whether AI changes the threat landscape. It already has. Run this thought experiment: What if the volume of attacks triples? What if the time between discovering a vulnerability and its exploitation is reduced to zero? If you can't answer these questions, you should.

Right now, everyone's selling AI-powered security operations. The pitch sounds great: faster detection, smarter triage, and less noise. However, if your logging is disorganized, your playbooks don't exist, and no one is responsible for the process, AI won't improve your SOC. It'll just make it faster at doing the wrong thing. In this episode of Follow the White Rabbit, Link11 CISO Kofi Osae-Attah sits down with Erik Van Buggenhout, NVISO co-founder and SANS instructor, to cut through the hype and discuss what AI in the SOC looks like in practice.

Erik is an AI optimist but, more importantly, he's a realist. He has spent years building security operations at scale and knows exactly where automation succeeds and where it falls short. His take? Up to 70% of incoming alerts can be automated without AI. Static playbooks, when built and maintained properly, do most of the heavy lifting, cheaply and reliably. AI earns its place where context matters, such as in dynamic environments, nuanced triage, and situations where a rigid playbook runs out of answers. The sweet spot isn't AI everywhere. It's AI where judgment is needed and automation everywhere else.

However, the conversation goes deeper than tools. Who's accountable when an AI agent makes a wrong decision? What will happen to the career path of junior analysts when L1 work disappears? Why does the security industry keep rebranding the same problems with new buzzwords every three years? Erik doesn't sugarcoat any of it, which is exactly what makes this episode worth your time.

1. AI won't fix a broken SOC. Garbage in, garbage out—faster. Before buying any AI tooling, first sort out your log sources, processes, and ownership.
2. Seventy percent automation is already possible without AI. Static playbooks that are properly maintained can handle most of the alert volume. AI is the next layer, not the foundation.
3. AI genuinely adds value through context. Managed service providers can't know every customer environment in detail. AI coupled with retrieval-augmented generation can provide that context on a large scale without requiring humans to memorize everything.
4. Humans remain accountable. AI agents operate with identities and permissions, but responsibility ultimately rests with the person operating them. Having a human in the loop isn't optional; it's a structural necessity.
5. The industry's buzzword cycle is exhausting and confusing. SIEM became XDR, and now XDR is becoming AI SOC. Same problem, new name. Erik argues for a more pragmatic and less dramatic approach to what's actually changing.

Gartner on AI in Security Operations (2024)

Most security teams are having the AI conversation about faster phishing, smarter malware, and automated attacks. However, a larger shift is occurring that barely makes it onto SOC dashboards. AI is now being used to industrialize disinformation on a scale no human-run operation could ever match. There are millions of AI agents, with no upper limit on volume, and the public can't tell what's real anymore. In this episode of Follow the White Rabbit, Link11 ISO Kofi Osae-Attah sits down with Anett Mádi-Nándor, president of the Women4Cyber Foundation and CEO of CyEx.hu, to discuss the intersection of AI, geopolitics, cognitive warfare, and diversity in cybersecurity.

Anett brings a rare combination of perspectives: she spent half her career in national security and EU administration and the other half in the private sector building AI-engineered cybersecurity solutions. Her diagnosis of our situation in 2026 is sharp and uncomfortable. We are already in an era of continuous cognitive warfare. Social media algorithms, shaped by a decade of user profiling, are now being weaponized with agentic AI to launder narratives on an industrial scale. The result, she says, is reality apathy: a growing portion of the public that simply stops trying to distinguish truth from manipulation. In doing so, they cede even more ground to adversaries. She argues that Europe's regulatory framework is strong but overly complex. Furthermore, the technical gap between what AI can do and what most organizations understand about it is widening.

The conversation doesn't stop at geopolitics. Anett makes a compelling case that diversity in cybersecurity isn't a soft issue — it's a security issue. Biased AI models make biased decisions. Organizations using off-the-shelf HR tools often have no idea how those tools were trained and lack an audit process to find out.

Kofi shares his experience of applying for jobs under a different name and receiving more callbacks to illustrate what's at stake when bias in automated systems goes unchecked. What's Anett's answer to all of it? Start with the children. Teach five-year-olds to code and understand networks so they can navigate the digital world critically. Estonia has been doing so for years. The rest of the world is behind.

1. AI has eliminated the volume limit on disinformation. Human-run influence operations were limited by the number of people involved. AI-powered operations aren't. Millions of agents can now simultaneously reshape narratives with no upper bound.
2. Reality apathy is the new attack surface. When people can't distinguish truth from manipulation, they disengage — and that disengagement is exactly what adversaries want. Resilience requires media literacy, not just better firewalls.
3. Replacing humans with AI in cybersecurity is the wrong goal. The right goal is to make humans more effective with the help of AI. AI genuinely adds security value through contextual reasoning — understanding that an HR task completed at 3 a.m. is an anomaly.
4. Bias audits must become standard practice. Organizations that use AI for hiring or triage often don't know how those systems were trained. Just like security red-teaming, bias red-teaming should be mandatory before deployment.
5. Digital education is the most important long-term security investment. Estonia starts teaching programming alongside reading and writing in primary school. This foundational literacy produces a population that's harder to manipulate and better equipped to defend itself.

North Korea is infiltrating Fortune 500 companies with fake employees. They create authentic LinkedIn profiles, excel in remote interviews, collect salaries, and secretly steal intellectual property, cryptocurrency, and system access. This isn't a future threat. It's happening right now across more than 40 countries. In this episode of Follow the White Rabbit, Link11 ISO Kofi Osae-Attah sits down with Kritika Roy, a senior threat intelligence researcher at DCSO in Berlin. Together, they map the threat landscape that most security teams only partially see.

Kritika's work sits at the intersection of geopolitics and cybersecurity — and that intersection is where the full picture emerges. China is running long-term intelligence operations aligned with its five-year economic plan. Russia is focused on disruption and sabotage, especially since invading Ukraine. Iran is tracking dissidents and targeting organizations with Israeli ties. And North Korea? It's doing it all — stealing money to fund weapons programs, embedding operatives inside companies, and learning by doing. The line between nation-state espionage and cybercrime has blurred to the point of being nearly indistinguishable. Threat actors are buying ransomware on the dark web as if it were Amazon. Attribution is becoming more difficult. Defenders are falling behind.

The most important insight from this conversation isn't technical; it's contextual. Geopolitics determines who targets you, when, and why. A NATO summit, a trade dispute, or an election can trigger a wave of tailored phishing campaigns and targeted intrusions. Kritika's advice to security teams isn't to become intelligence agencies. Rather, it's to read the news, understand the motivations behind attacks, and stop treating every threat with the same level of urgency. Prioritize based on context. If you're hiring remotely, ask your candidates what the local food is like. You'll be surprised at how much that one question can reveal.

1. North Korean IT workers are already inside companies. They are hired through legitimate job platforms, work as regular employees, and use their access to steal money, intellectual property, and system knowledge. The fix? At a minimum, conduct one in-person interview.
2. Geopolitics is a threat intelligence tool. Phishing lures are timed to coincide with summits, elections, and conflicts. Knowing what's happening in the world allows you to anticipate what's coming at your organization.
3. The four main threat actors have different goals. China wants intelligence. Russia wants to cause disruption. North Korea wants money and knowledge. Iran targets dissidents and organizations related to Israel. Knowing who you're up against changes everything about how you defend yourself.
4. The line between cybercrime and nation-state activity is disappearing. Nation-state actors are purchasing off-the-shelf malware on the dark web. Attribution is becoming more difficult. Security teams need to adapt their thinking.
5. Fundamentals still win. Patch management, identity security, endpoint visibility, and regular red team exercises are not boring basics; they're essential. They're the difference between being resilient and being exposed.

FBI Advisory: North Korean IT Worker Threat (2024)

Mandiant / Google: APT Overview by Nation State

In this episode of Follow the Rabbit, host Kofi Osae-Attah sits down with Luigi Rebuffi, founder of the European Cybersecurity Organization (ECSO) and the Women4Cyber Foundation, for a deep dive. Drawing on his 40-year background in nuclear engineering, Luigi challenges the industry to move beyond digital resilience, which he views as a static buzzword, toward a more holistic, systemic approach to resilience.

He argues that most organizations are fighting the "old war," treating cybersecurity as a linear compliance checklist. In contrast, systemic resilience is inspired by complex systems theory. It focuses on nonlinear interdependencies (the "mesh"), where a failure in a minor component can lead to a crisis, but where optimized investment in these interactions can also create "double value," improving safety and operational efficiency.

The conversation also covers the "positive cascade" of the human factor, why government resilience must shift from "fortress" mentalities to flexible meshes, and how a Bayesian approach to risk management can help leaders navigate a non-binary world.

Takeaways

1. Resilience Beyond the Digital: Digital resilience is only one sub-element of a larger system. Systemic resilience considers the interaction of all parts - mechanical, environmental, and human - to prevent total collapse.
2. The "Ferrari" Analogy: You can have the perfect cybersecurity "engine" (tools), but if your "tires" (human training or third-party dependencies) are flat, the system won't be resilient. We must assess the interaction between parts, not just isolated components.
3. The Human Factor as a Resource: Although the human factor is often blamed as a vulnerability, it is fundamental to resilience. Luigi argues that organizational systems should be designed so that human error doesn't lead to catastrophic failure.
4. From Linear to Systemic Risk: Traditional risk management is Newtonian, or cause-and-effect. Modern resilience requires a Bayesian approach that maps the probability of "hidden crises" within a complex mesh of factors.
5. Sovereignty as a Dynamic Mesh: Government resilience shouldn't rely on building a static "fortress." True sovereignty comes from controlling the "mesh" - the links and interactions between existing partners - to maintain control.

Why Listen?

Are you tired of the same old "compliance-first" discussions? This episode offers a radical, engineer-led perspective on the future of European strategy. Luigi Rebuffi offers a blueprint for how organizations and governments can stop constructing static fortresses and begin to understand the dynamic interdependencies of the modern world.

In this episode of Follow the Rabbit, host Kofi Osae-Attah is joined by Erlend Andreas Gjære, co-founder and CEO of Secure Practice. Together, they debunk the common misconception that "people are the weakest link." Erlend argues that, with the right focus, the human element can be an organization’s greatest asset. He believes this shift requires a change in focus from basic security awareness to true preparedness.

The conversation moves beyond traditional "checkbox" compliance to explore how storytelling and interactive exercises can foster genuine employee engagement. Erlend shares the fascinating story of a company summer party that was transformed by a high-stakes simulation. This example proves that a resilient security culture is built through shared experiences rather than dry e-learning modules.

Finally, they discuss the psychology of phishing and explain why the best technology investment can't replace human intuition. Understanding how our brains process urgency and fear enables leaders to build a culture of reporting and recovery that transforms potential disasters into minor footnotes.

1. People are the last line of defense. Calling employees the "weakest link" is a big mistake. When a user clicks a link, it is often the final step in a system-wide failure rather than an isolated human error.
2. Preparedness > Awareness: Knowing a policy and acting on it are not the same. Preparedness involves co-creating organizational resilience by practicing how the company would function during an incident.
3. The Psychology of the Click: Phishing exploits instinctive "System 1" thinking. Training should focus on helping employees "slow down" and engage in "System 2" thinking, or logical reasoning, when they feel an emotional trigger, such as urgency.
4. Culture is a Conversation: A strong security culture isn't just a poster on a wall. It’s measured by how frequently and comfortably security is discussed at all levels of the business.
5. The Business Case for People: It is often easier to buy a tool than to change a habit. However, the real business case for security lies in investing in people who understand the business processes they are protecting.

In this episode of Follow the Rabbit, host Kofi Osae-Attah sits down with Luigi Lenguito, the CEO and co-founder of BforeAI, for an in-depth discussion about the revolutionary field of predictive security. Luigi explains his "Pre-Crime" philosophy, which shifts the cybersecurity posture from "assume breach" and reactive threat detection to a model of preemptive measures that identifies malicious infrastructure - the criminal "DevOps" - before a single victim is affected.

Drawing an analogy to weather forecasting, Lenguito illustrates how data and supercomputing have transformed our ability to predict hurricanes. He argues that cybersecurity is currently in an "emergency room" phase - stressful and reactive - and that predictive intelligence is the key to moving "left of boom." By isolating and shutting down infrastructure before phishing pages or campaigns go live, organizations can stop being victims and become active participants in their own defense.

The conversation also addresses the role of automation in scaling these defenses. Given the predicted 5,000% increase in threats over the last year, Luigi makes a bold case for aggressive preemptive measures, even at the cost of minor false positives. He explains why the future is human-augmented, not human-operated, and how this shift enables CISOs to safeguard the ultimate business case for security: Brand trust.

1. Move "left of boom": Traditional threat detection (EDR/MDR) often means you are already a victim. Predictive security, on the other hand, identifies the "pre-attack" phase, which includes the registration of malicious domains and exfiltration servers.
2. The Weather Forecast Analogy: Just as we use satellites and models to preempt natural disasters, we must use automation to gain the foresight necessary to disrupt cybercrime before it starts.
3. Managing False Positives: Luigi argues for a shift in KPIs. Accepting a 0.05% rate of false positives is a strategic trade-off to avoid months-long, systemic outages that cost millions.
4. Democratized Cybercrime: The barrier to entry for attackers has collapsed due to generative AI (GenAI). There has been a shift from low-volume, high-skill APTs to high-volume, AI-augmented cybercrime using "hacking as a service."
5. The business case for security: Predictive technology protects brand reputation and ensures process resilience (OT/IT uptime). This allows limited human resources to focus on high-level strategy rather than manual takedowns.

Why Listen?

If your security team is experiencing alert fatigue and "emergency room" burnout, this episode provides a roadmap for a more proactive future. Luigi Lenguito offers the executive insight necessary to understand how automation and preventive measures save millions of potential cybercrime victims every day.

In this episode of Follow the Rabbit, host Kofi Osae-Attah sits down with Octavia de Weerdt, the general director of NBIP. They discuss the pervasive rise of botnets and the invisible digital threats lurking in our living rooms. Octavia explains how our digital infrastructure, which we take pride in for its high-speed connectivity and smart home ecosystems, has become a double-edged sword. As we embrace digitalization, we inadvertently provide cybercrime networks with a massive, decentralized army of smart devices to power their next attack.

The conversation delves into the "paradox of the smart home," revealing that everything from routers to connected coffee makers can be exploited by malicious actors. Octavia reveals how these botnets use our personal devices against us, often without our knowledge. She warns that, as the internet security landscape shifts, we must adopt a multi-stakeholder approach balancing technology, European policy, and shared responsibility between manufacturers and providers.

Finally, Octavia highlights the unique Dutch model of collective resilience. By transforming a dense and vulnerable digital infrastructure into a collaborative defense network, the Netherlands is pioneering ways to mitigate cybercrime on a large scale. This episode is a wake-up call for everyone using the internet today. Understanding these hidden threats is the first step toward reclaiming our digital safety.

1. The Invisible Army: Massive botnet armies are active across the internet at any given moment, using compromised smart devices to launch global attacks.
2. The "Smart" Vulnerability: Every unmanaged device in your home, from routers to IoT gadgets, is a potential target for cybercrime.
3. Double-Edged Infrastructure: While our advanced digital infrastructure drives the economy, it also provides attackers with the capacity and speed needed to generate sophisticated digital threats.
4. Shared Responsibility: Protecting the internet requires more than individual caution. It requires stronger European security policies and proactive device management from internet service providers (ISPs).
5. Collective Resilience: The NaWas model demonstrates the importance of not-for-profit, community-driven organizations in defending against volumetric and application-layer attacks.

Why Listen?

If you have a Wi-Fi router or smart devices in your home, you are on the front lines of a global digital war. Octavia De Weerdt breaks down the complex worlds of botnets and internet security in practical, insightful ways that are essential for anyone operating in our highly connected world.

In this episode of Follow the Rabbit, host Kofi Osae-Attah welcomes Lili Guo, the CISO and partner at Modelverse. Together, they discuss the delicate balance between automation and human intuition in cybersecurity. Lili shares her experience transitioning from the "dark ages" of 100-page Word documents and endless Excel spreadsheets to establishing functional digital infrastructures. She emphasizes that automation is not only about APIs and dashboards; it's also about reducing the "work burden" and preventing burnout for security analysts.

The conversation delves into the architecture of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Lili demystifies the path to ISO 27001 and other major certifications. She explains that an ISMS is a dynamic, living system, not a static checklist. Organizations can achieve continuous compliance by integrating automation into daily operations rather than just "cramming" for an audit. Lili also shares a strategic "source of truth" approach, showing how to map one set of automated controls across multiple frameworks, such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, and NIST, to save hundreds of manual hours.

Finally, the episode addresses the human element in technology. Although AI is a game-changer for incident management and threat detection, Lili argues that technology cannot replace the cultural context and strategic design that a human CISO provides. Learn how to balance incident detection tools with "fit for purpose" policies to ensure your security measures protect the business without disrupting workflow.

1. Ditch the "Dark Ages" of Excel. The foundation of effective cybersecurity automation is digitalization. The first step to reducing toil is moving lists from Word and Excel into a centralized platform.
2. The ISMS is alive. An Information Security Management System requires continuous improvement and management involvement. Automation should send routine check alerts year-round to keep the system active.
3. Unified Compliance Strategy: By establishing a single source of truth, companies can automate the collection of evidence that satisfies multiple audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.) simultaneously, reducing redundant work by up to 80%.
4. AI in Incident Management: Automation and AI are essential for filtering false positives, allowing SOC teams to focus on real, high-priority threats.
5. Judgment can't be automated. Security policies must be "fit for purpose." Only humans can understand organizational culture and ensure that security measures don't stifle productivity.

Why Listen?

If your team is stressed for weeks before a security audit, your process is broken. Listen to this episode to learn how to transition from a reactive, manual approach to a proactive, automated security strategy. Whether you're a technical lead or a business executive, Lili Guo provides a blueprint for scaling your security operations using smart technology and human-centric design.
