As AI revolutionizes how we work, it has created a new attack surface with new technologies. One of those new technologies is Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP has emerged as the standard for connecting AI to external tools, but its flexibility has created security challenges. How do we secure MCP?

• Centralizing Access Control
• Enforcing Security Policies
• Maintaining Compliance
• Enabling Rapid Response

OT/ICS/SCADA systems are often off limits to cybersecurity folks, and exempt from many controls. Attackers don't care how fragile these systems are, however. For attackers aiming to disrupt operations, fragile but critical systems fit criminals' plans nicely.

In this interview, we discuss the challenge of securing OT systems with Todd Peterson and Joshua Hay from Junto Security.

This week's topic segment is all about tuning your 'spidey sense' to spot myths and misconceptions online so we can avoid amplifying AI slop, scams, and other forms of Internet bunk. It was inspired by this LinkedIn post, but we've got a cybersecurity story in the news that we could have easily used for this as well (the report from MIT).

Finally, in the enterprise security news,

1. Some interesting fundings
2. Some more interesting acquisitions
3. a new AI-related term has been coined: cyberslop
4. the latest insights from cyber insurance claims
5. The AI security market isn't nearly as big as it might seem
6. cybercriminals are targeting trucking and logistics to steal goods
7. Sorry dads, science says the smarts come from mom

All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

What's the biggest attack vector for breaches besides all of the human related ones (i.e., social engineering, phishing, compromised credentials, etc.)? You might think vulnerabilities, but it's actually misconfiguration. The top breach attack vectors are stolen or compromised credentials, phishing, and misconfigurations, which often work together. So why is it so hard to properly configure your systems?

Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss Defense Against Configurations and how ThreatLocker can automatically identify misconfigurations and map them to your environment's compliance and security requirements. Rob will discuss how ThreatLocker Defense Against Configurations dashboard can:

• Identify misconfigurations before they become exploited vulnerabilities
• Monitor configuration compliance with major frameworks

• Receive clear, actionable remediation guidance
