  • Risky Business #849 -- Trump will unleash contractors on cybercriminals

    On this week’s show Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by guest co-host Dmitri Alperovitch to talk through the week’s news, including:

    Trump’s memo authorising the private sector to release the cyber hounds is fine, don’t worry!

    OpenAI finally decides to add a few safety measures after the whole “oopsie we committed some felonies” thing
    Anthropic’s models start a turf war when given the same task, surprising… nobody
    We can’t figure out whether a device that can hack a 737 is showboating stunt hacking or … something more real-world cool. Or both. Or something.
    Much, much more

    This week’s show is brought to you by threat hunt and detection platform Nebulock. Founder and CEO Damien Lewke joins Pat to chat about what it looks like when you try to reinvent the SIEM in 2026 on a clean sheet of paper.

    • Soap Box: Zero Trust(ish) Networks

      In this Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast host Patrick Gray chats with Adam Pointon, CEO of Knocknoc, about the failure of Zero Trust as a comprehensive architecture.

      Most networks look like they were designed in 1999, and most Zero Trust products look like they were designed for 2049.

      Instead, Patrick and Adam pitch something in the middle: Zero Trust(ish) networks, where Zero Trust principles are applied selectively where possible.

      Instead of trying to re-architect entire networks, maybe it’s time we learned to apply Zero Trust principles selectively against risky assets. It’s a better approach than the status quo, which involves liberal use of the “risk accepted” stamp.

                        In this wholly sponsored Soap Box edition of the podcast Patrick Gray chats with Damien Lewke, the CEO and founder of Nebulock, about the future of threat hunting and detection.

                        Damien spent a decade in the EDR and MDR space before founding Nebulock in 2024. It started off as an AI-powered threat hunt platform but has evolved into a broader security data platform that can answer questions, drive hunts and drive detections.

                        This product is engineered around the idea that a lot of security is a data problem. So, if we accept this premise, how do we solve security? And how much of that solution is about agents, vs building a good graph? And if you’re going to build a good graph, do you want to build it for a person to use, or an agent to use?

                        This is truly a conversation for the security nerd’s nerd. Enjoy!
