Secrets end up everywhere, from dev systems to CI/CD pipelines to services, certificates, and cloud environments. Vlad Matsiiako shares some of the tactics that make managing secrets more secure as we discuss the distinctions between secure architectures, good policies, and developer friendly tools. We've thankfully moved on from forced 90-day user password rotations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for rotating secrets. It means that the tooling and processes for ephemeral secrets should be based on secure, efficient mechanisms rather than putting all the burden on users. And it also means that managing secrets shouldn't become an unmanaged risk with new attack surfaces or new points of failure.

In this interview, we're excited to speak with Pravi Devineni, who was into AI before it was insane. Pravi has a PhD in AI and remembers the days when machine learning (ML) and AI were synonymous. This is where we'll start our conversation: trying to get some perspective around how generative AI has changed the overall landscape of AI in the enterprise.

Then, we move on to the topic of AI safety and whether that should be the CISO's job, or someone else's.

Finally, we'll discuss the future of AI and try to end on a positive or hopeful note!

What a time to have this conversation! Mere days from the certain destruction of CVE, averted only in the 11th hour, we have a chat about vulnerability management lifecycles. CVEs are definitely part of them.

Vulnerability management is very much a hot mess at the moment for many reasons. Even with perfectly stable support from the institutions that catalog and label vulnerabilities from vendors, we'd still have some serious issues to address, like:

• disconnects between vulnerability analysts and asset owners
• gaps and issues in vulnerability discovery and asset management
• different options for workflows between security and IT: which is best?
• patching it like you stole it

Oh, did we mention Matt built an open source vuln scanner?

Zero Trust isn't a new concept, but not one easily implemented. How do organizations transform cybersecurity from a "default allow" model, where everything is permitted unless blocked, to a "default deny" model?

Danny Jenkins, Co-founder and CEO at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss this approach. Deny by default means all actions are blocked by default, with only explicitly approved activities allowed. This shift enhances security, reduces vulnerabilities, and sets a new standard for protecting organizations from cyber threats. ‍ Danny will discuss how ThreatLocker not only protects your endpoints and data from zero-day malware, ransomware, and other malicious software, but provides solutions for easy onboarding, management, and eliminates the lengthy approval processes of traditional solutions.

The breaches will continue until appsec improves. Janet Worthington and Sandy Carielli share their latest research on breaches from 2024, WAFs in 2025, and where secure by design fits into all this. WAFs are delivering value in a way that orgs are relying on them more for bot management and fraud detection. But adopting phishing-resistant authentication solutions like passkeys and deploying WAFs still seem peripheral to secure by design principles. We discuss what's necessary for establishing a secure environment and why so many orgs still look to tools. And with LLMs writing so much code, we continue to look for ways LLMs can help appsec in addition to all the ways LLMs keep recreating appsec problems.
