Security Weekly Podcast Network (Video)

This week, our technical segment covers a new open-source tool written by Paul (and Claude) that helps you keep your Linux systems up to date and assess supply chain risks. It's called "fettle" and is a pure Python implementation that gives you even more features than previously discussed! Then in the security news:

• The GodDamn Ransomware
• CMMC suspended
• Holy Microsoft Tuesday!
• Lessons learned
• Without the Internet, do we still get water?
• The forgotten shims
• More than two BIOS passwords
• Cracking firmware encryption with Claude
• 1999 called, and it wants its "Exploits" back
• Prompt injection for defenders
• Grok has your repo
• You're not going to outpatch AI

More than 48,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2025, yet only about 1% are actively exploited. However, you're expected to mitigate all vulnerabilities, or at least critical and high. But what if there is no patch to fix the vulnerability or the software is unsupported?

Ben Lipcynski, Director Security and Regulatory Services at Optima, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how organizations can take back control of your enterprise software. OPTAS — Origina Proactive Threat Assurance Service — predicts, validates, prioritizes, and mitigates threats specific to your environment. Unlike AI vulnerability tools that flag everything without context or mitigation guidance, OPTAS cuts through the noise. OPTAS helps security teams focus on the risks that matter instead of chasing the 99% that do not.

While LLMs and agents are new to appsec and everyone else, a lot of AI security requirements translate to well-known API security requirements. Jeremy Snyder helps us frame the OWASP LLM Top 10 into five layers in order to help orgs understand and prioritize their attack surface. A lot of orgs don't have to deal with model-specific threats or building their own GPU architecture, but every org adopting LLMs and agents should be aware of how those agents are being invoked and the output those agents are producing. That awareness of input and output helps in identifying and mitigating prompt injection attacks, ensuring agents are working within their expected boundaries, and taming token budgets.

Software Supply Chain Security: Build Pipeline (CI/CD) Exploitation

Boost Security is the creator of some very popular build pipeline security tools, like Bagel and Poutine. Today, we discuss their latest tool, Smoked Meat. They describe it as "Like Metasploit, but for CI/CD pipelines".

The Three Identity Problem: Surviving Identity Security's Chaotic Era

Identity security has entered its chaotic era. Human, non-human, and agentic AI identities no longer just coexist. They form an uncontrolled inheritance chain in which a human creates an agent, the agent spins up service principals, OAuth grants, and role assignments, and that whole chain keeps running long after the human changes roles or leaves. Most of these chains are being spawned by business users on low-code and enterprise AI platforms, outside traditional identity controls and largely invisible to security.

In this segment, Radiant Logic CEO Dr. John Pritchard joins us to unpack why this is no longer a visibility problem. It is an observability problem. And it is shifting the center of gravity in identity security from authentication to authorization. Listeners will leave with a clearer view of where their current IAM, IGA, and NHI programs fall short, and a practical lens for governing the rapidly expanding population of AI agents already inside their environments.

Everyone Wants an AI Assistant. Few Are Ready to Govern One

Explore a growing reality many professionals can relate to: the appeal of using AI agents to handle the work that keeps piling up - from inbox management to research and logistics - and the governance challenges that quickly follow. The real barrier to scaling personal or enterprise AI agents isn't the technology itself, but defining clear roles, access boundaries, oversight, and lifecycle management. As organizations deploy more autonomous AI agents, the same identity frameworks used to govern workforce and non-employee identities must now evolve to manage AI-driven access before scale and risk outpace control.

From Sales Engineer to Forward Deployed Engineer: The Rise of Hybrid Technical Roles

As technology organizations evolve, technical roles are becoming increasingly fluid - particularly at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success. This conversation explores what it means to be a modern sales engineer and how the role is increasingly expanding into responsibilities often associated with forward deployed engineers: translating complex technical capabilities into real-world outcomes, solving customer challenges in real time, and serving as a critical bridge between product teams and end users. At the center of this evolution is a customer-first mindset - one that prioritizes listening, adaptability, and long-term partnership. As organizations race to innovate, the companies that stand out will be those that remain deeply focused on customer needs while empowering technical teams to operate beyond traditional role boundaries.

Stop Identity Fraud: Modern Strategies for Insurance and Healthcare

Identity fraud is growing more sophisticated across both insurance and healthcare, making identity management a critical line of defense. In this executive interview, Kim Brown, VP of Product Management, will explore how organizations can strengthen identity verification, authentication, and risk assessment to reduce fraud while improving user experiences. The discussion will highlight emerging threats, evolving regulatory expectations, and practical strategies for deploying identity solutions at scale. Attendees will gain actionable insights to protect customers, patients, and their organizations without adding friction.

The latest generation of AI models has collapsed the time from vulnerability discovery to weaponized exploit from weeks to minutes, and reactive, module-based tools built around static dashboards simply can't keep up.

In this episode, Tanium COO Matt Quinn joins Business Security Weekly to discuss Tanium Atlas, the new autonomous operating system for IT and security. Matt explains why "good enough" operations are now a liability, how Atlas turns a single operator into the equivalent of an entire team, giving organizations the speed, scale, and efficiency to match the pace of today's threat environment. He also breaks down why nearly two decades of real-time endpoint telemetry across more than 36 million endpoints is the foundation no AI model can replicate on its own.

Mobile applications have unique risks and threat models compared to server-side applications and infrastructure. Consequently, they need different strategies to ensure their business logic and workflows well secured. We'll dive into some of these defense-in-depth strategies and why they are important to mobile applications. Securing workflows goes beyond input validation and pattern matching suspicious payloads; it requires detailed attention to state machines, edge cases, and collecting signals to evaluate trust.
