Interview with Evan Powell - Generative and agentic AI are improving cyberattacks faster than they're improving cyber defenses.

Offensive folks have been having the most luck with AI so far, which is further eroding any advantage defenders might have had. Evan Powell joins us to share some ideas on how defenders can get some benefits from AI as well, and why open source is important with this approach.

Topic

For this week's topic segment, we've got two very interesting data sources.

The first is Anthropic's first update on Project Glasswing, where they're absolutely tearing through codebases with ultra premium Mythos tokens, but then hitting a human-shaped bottleneck as they attempt to validate all the findings.

The second is the first report from Root Evidence, the latest startup from Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen (aka RSnake), which aims to help organizations filter out all the vulnerabilities that don't matter.

Where these two reports meet in the middle is my concern that the use of AI to scour every last bug out of code is going to be the most Sisyphean task the cybersecurity industry has ever come up with (and we have some deep experience here).

This week we have a technical segment focused on Linux! Paul released a script that helps you get a handle on Linux supply chain security, and new features allow you to assess the state of Secure Boot on your Linux systems (that also use MS certificates, ironically). The script is in his Git repo: https://github.com/pasadoorian/Linux_Hacks.

In the security news:

• The CVE chase
• The new security basics
• Enterprises are lacking more than AI
• Detections are falling behind
• Why DOOM!?!
• Chromium vulnerability
• The ambitious Flipper One
• I'm still curious who was behind these leaks
• Mitre moves Caldera to Apache foundation
• Wind cybersecurity
• PQC updates
• YellowKey Bitlocker Bypass updates
• The software supply chain is in deep trouble

RSA Conference (RSAC) 2026, the 35th annual flagship event for cybersecurity, drew over 43,500 attendees, featuring more than 600 exhibitors, 570+ sessions, and 700+ speakers from 104 countries. It generated 370 million social media impressions. With this size and reach, what should security leaders expect when they attend?

Joseph Blankenship, Vice President, Research Director at Forrester Research, and Adrian Sanabria, host of Enterprise Security Weekly, join Business Security Weekly for a special recording from RSAC 2026. This pre-recorded session was filmed live from the conference on March 24, 2026. We discuss what security leaders will see, what they should expect from attending, and a few predictions for the future.

If you didn't attend the conference, don't worry, this is a great way to get an inside view. And maybe it helps you decide to attend next year.

We showcase recordings from this year's RSAC.

At RSAC Conference 2026, Scott Clinton, Co-Chair and co-founder of the OWASP GenAI Security Project, shares insights from the project's latest research, including new landscape guides and evolving approaches to securing generative and agentic AI systems. The conversation explores critical gaps in GenAI data security, the rise of AI-assisted development, and the immense growth of the OWASP community and sponsor ecosystem. Looking ahead, he outlines the most urgent risks and priorities shaping AI and agentic security in 2026.

Then Merritt Maxim discusses how AI is affecting Identity and Access Management. Expect to hear this topic a lot throughout 2026, especially as the industry tries to figure out what's different or special about securing agent identities.

We close with a chat with Janet Worthington about the impact of agents on the SDLC and how orgs are updating their controls to deal with code generated by humans and LLMs alike.

Interview with Rob Allen from Threatlocker

This week, Rob Allen from Threatlocker is with us to discuss the importance of EDR and MDR visibility. We discuss some real world attacks and anecdotes where EDR was able to save the day when threats were missed by other controls.

Topic: Do the basics, they said. Easier said than done.

Guillaume and Adrian discuss the futility of attempting to do all the foundational work standards, best practices, and regulations expect of organizations. Adrian has given up. Fortunately, Guillaume has some excellent advice and hope to share on this front.

The weekly enterprise news

Finally, in the enterprise security news,

1. a really interesting vibe check

Over the last decade, cybersecurity heavily invested in EDR, XDR, SIEM, telemetry, and SOC-driven operations. We stopped asking how to stop attacks and started asking how fast we could detect them. However, Mythos and frontier models have changed that paradigm. How do you detect a -7 day vulnerability? Detection and response cannot keep, so what's the answer?

Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why cybersecurity is shifting from detection and response to prevention and enforcement. As attackers accelerate through automation and AI, organizations are revisiting prevention-focused controls. Rob will discuss why organizations need to adopt application allowlisting, Zero Trust, Ringfencing, and policy enforcement to reduce attacker freedom before execution occurs. Prevention-first security is the only way to decrease the AI attack surface.
