Security Weekly (Download Only)

Kevin Nikkhoo joins the show to explore Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) and how it compares to traditional SOC models. He breaks down which organizations benefit most from this approach and how AI is reshaping modern SOC operations. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of how SOCaaS can enhance detection and response capabilities—and why embracing AI is key to the future of security operations.

Recent findings of AI ecosystem insecurities and attacks show the importance of needing AI governance in the supply chain. And this supply chain is rapidly expanding to include not only open-source software but also collaborative platforms where custom models, agents, prompts, and other AI resources are used. And with this expansion of third-party AI component and services use comes an expanded security threat often not included in traditional supply chain management processes. It's time to update our supply chain management process to include AI governance. Easier said than done.

In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we invite three CISOs to discuss the challenges of AI and the supply chain, including:

• Data privacy concerns
• Flaws and malicious code in AI dependencies
• Lack of security tools to test for AI
• Vibe coding risks

and more. But we also do the hard part, by discussing the changes needed to your supply chain management process to address these concerns.

MFA Bypass, SonicWall, BIOS Shade, Sex Toys, FBI Warnings, Claude vs GPT-5, Josh Marpet, and more on the Security Weekly News.

Maintaining code is a lot more than keeping dependencies up to date. It involved everything from keeping old code running to changing frameworks to even changing implementation languages. Jonathan Schneider talks about the engineering considerations of refactoring and rewriting code, why code maintenance is important to appsec, and how to build confidence that adding automation to a migration results in code that has the same workflows as before.

Then, instead of our usual news segment, we do a deep dive on some recent vulns NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server disclosed by Trail of Bits' Will Vandevanter. Will talks about the thought process and tools that go into identify potential vulns, the analysis in determining whether they're exploitable, and the disclosure process with vendors. He makes the important point that even if something doesn't turn out to be a vuln, there's still benefit to the learning process and gaining experience in seeing the different ways that devs design software. Of course, it's also more fun when you find an exploitable vuln -- which Will did here!

Interview: Guillaume Ross on Building Security from Scratch

Guillaume shares his experiences building security from scratch at Canadian FinTech, Finaptic. Imagine the situation: you're CISO, and literally NOTHING is in place yet. No policies, no controls, no GRC processes. Where do you start? What do you do first? Are there things you can get away with that would be impossible in older, well-established financial firms?
