Supply chains, server crashes, and building break-ins. Our latest episode is a reminder that cybersecurity doesn’t stop at the screen. 🏢🔐

We sit down with Deviant Ollam, physical security expert and pentester, as he lifts the lid on the physical “IRL” side of security. From bypassing door locks and badge systems to testing data center defenses, Deviant shares what attackers are looking for, and why the physical layer can be the weakest link. 🚪🔑

But that’s not all! In Watchtower Weekly, we unpack how supply chain attacks are evolving into a self-reinforcing cybercrime economy — where one breach fuels the next, creating an endless loop of access, data, and profit for attackers. ⭕️💻

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ We’re kicking off 2026 with cybersecurity resolutions you’ll actually stick to — no cold plunges, no green juice cleanse, just a handful of tiny ten-minute wins that make a big difference to your privacy and security.

We’ve turned the best advice from last season’s guests into a simple, practical checklist. On this episode, you’ll learn the importance of freezing your credit, using passkeys, turning on MFA, tidying up your digital “junk drawer” (and moving the important stuff into 1Password), and adopting a “politely paranoid” protocol that helps you catch scams before they catch you. ✅🔐

Love a hot take? 🔥 You’re in luck! We’re back with a special end-of-year treat: a rapid-fire round of cybersecurity hot takes guaranteed to start arguments in your group chats and hijack at least one Slack thread. 💬

The team weighs in on bold claims like “Passwords will finally die in 2026” and “AI will solve more cybersecurity problems than it causes next year.” Then we spice things up with hot takes from around 1Password — covering everything from CAPTCHAs (a punishment?) to VPNs (are they even doing anything?) to whether New Year’s security resolutions ever last past January. 🤔✨

We also tackle a listener question in #Ask1Password. Plus, it wouldn’t be a holiday episode without a bit of nonsense, so we’ve revived an old fan-favourite game from the Random but Memorable vault. 🌍❓
