Security Mondays with Eva Benn

Hi, I’m Eva Benn. Every Monday morning I bring you some of the best global security leaders to talk through what’s actually top of mind, the threats they’re seeing, the tools they’re using, and the decisions they’re making right now. Every episode is designed to give you practical things you can go and implement in your organization this week.

Claude Desktop introduces a new class of endpoint risk: AI agents with autonomous execution, persistent scheduled tasks, MCP server integrations, browser-control extensions, and OAuth-authenticated connectors to external services. Most of this configuration lives in JSON files scattered across multiple directories with no centralised visibility. In this video you'll see how you can use Claudit-Sec, an open-source tool that gives you and your organization visibility into your dependencies.AI is fundamentally changing how security works. Data is no longer just moving through files, it’s moving through conversations. Policies sitting in PDFs are becoming liabilities. And many teams are still trying to solve modern problems with outdated approaches.But here’s the shift: security today is less about blocking fast and more about understanding behavior, building trust, and bringing people along. The teams that win are the ones focusing on visibility, alignment, and real-world usage instead of just control.I’m doing my part by bringing you some of the best global leaders in the security industry every Monday, with practical tools and insights you can actually use this week.This week, I sat down with Edward, Security and AI Leader at Harmonic Security. We unpack what it really takes to stay relevant as AI reshapes how security teams operate day to day, from governance to tooling to human behavior.What you’ll walk away with:- Why traditional security policies are becoming a liability in the age of AI- How data is now leaving organizations through prompts, not just files- The biggest mistake teams are making with AI governance right now- A simple 3-step checklist to get ahead of AI risks this week- Practical ways to build visibility, align teams, and drive real adoptionIf you find this helpful, I’d really appreciate you giving us a thumbs up, subscribing, and sharing it with your community.Resources we mention in the video:Connect with Edward M: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-merrett/Ed’s guide on securing cowork : https://www.harmonic.security/resources/securing-claude-cowork-a-security-practitioners-guideClaudit: https://github.com/HarmonicSecurity/claudit-secHarmonic: https://harmonic.security Ed’s AI Security Slack Channel: https://join.slack.com/t/ai-security-community/shared_invite/zt-3sgp2o6iu-8xPekFxZDZ73fUUw1Ey9xQ Chapters00:00 – Intro: Navigating AI in Cybersecurity01:00 – Why AI Is Changing Security Forever03:59 – Biggest Lesson: Stop Blocking, Start Listening05:27 – Why Security Policies Are Becoming a Liability07:22 – What Security Leaders Should Do Instead09:14 – How to Build Visibility Into AI Usage11:02 – Biggest AI Governance Mistakes Teams Make13:39 – Demo: AI Security Tool in Action20:23 – 3-Step Checklist to Manage AI Risk This Week23:17 – Getting Teams to Actually Adopt Secure AI PracticesFollow along for more free cybersecurity education. 🤗LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evabenn/Instagram: https://instagram.com/evabenn_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@evabennofficialWebsite: https://www.evabenn.com/

Hi, I’m Eva Benn. Every Monday morning I bring you some of the best global security leaders to talk through what's actually top of mind, the threats they're seeing, the tools they're using, and the calls they're making right now. Every episode gives you practical things you can go do at your organization this week. The Mythos saga caused a lot of debates in the security community. Some were productive, some not so much. But amidst the debates, one thing was undeniable: the way we do security is changing fundamentally. Long gone are the days where we could sit in closed rooms and write industry frameworks for months, then take years to implement them. We share accountability to work together, learn (and fail) fast, and empower each other along the way. Collective defense has never been more important.I am doing my part by bringing you some of the best global leaders in the security industry every Monday with practical tools and resources you can go use this week. This week I sat down with Rock Lambros, CEO and founder of RockCyber, Director of AI Security Governance at Zenity, a Core Team Leader at OWASP GenAI Security Project and a leading voice in AI security and governance. We are unpacking what does it take to stay relevant as AI changes how security teams operate day to day.What you'll walk away with:- A read on what Anthropic's Mythos release actually means for your team's security work- The Glasswing paradox and where AI-assisted attacks are headed next- Which security roles AI is absorbing first, and what skills you should invest in- 5 questions every leader needs to answer right now- Practical tools and resources you need to go use this weekIf you find this helpful, I'd really appreciate you giving us thumbs up, subscribing and sharing with your community.Connect with Rock Lambros: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rocklambros/Resources we mention in the video:Anthropic Project Glasswing: https://www.anthropic.com/glasswingAnthropic Mythos system card and risk report: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-mythos-preview-risk-reportAnthropic Frontier Red Team blog: https://www.anthropic.com/researchNBC News / Logan Graham quote source: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/anthropic-project-glasswing-mythos-preview-claude-gets-limited-release-rcna267234TechCrunch (corrected org count): https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/07/anthropic-mythos-ai-model-preview-security/VentureBeat: https://venturebeat.com/technology/anthropic-says-its-most-powerful-ai-cyber-model-is-too-dangerous-to-releaseFortune https://fortune.com/2026/04/07/anthropic-claude-mythos-model-project-glasswing-cybersecurity/CyberScoophttps://cyberscoop.com/project-glasswing-anthropic-ai-open-source-software-vulnerabilities/Platformer / Alex Stamos quotehttps://www.platformer.news/anthropic-mythos-cybersecurity-risk-experts/Picus Security (Glasswing Paradox analysis)https://www.picussecurity.com/resource/blog/anthropics-project-glasswing-paradoxFollow along every Monday for practical security ? 🤗LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evabenn/Instagram: https://instagram.com/evabenn_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@evabennofficialWebsite: https://www.evabenn.com/
