In this episode, Spencer and Brad dig into a question that comes up all the time: what exactly is offensive security? Hint: it’s not just “pentesting.” Offensive security covers a whole spectrum of activities, including, penetration testing, red teaming, purple teaming, adversary emulation, and more. We’ll break down what each of these means, how they’re different, and how we do things at SecurIT360. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of how offensive security fits into a bigger security strategy and why it’s more than just finding vulnerabilities.

In this episode, we’re digging into a super awesome Active Directory security tool called PingCastle. We’ll cover what it is, why it matters for Active Directory security, and how IT and security teams can leverage it to get ahead of adversaries. PingCastle is a staple tool on our internal pentesting toolbelt. In this episode, you will find out why.

In this episode, we’re tackling an often-overlooked opportunity: using pentest results to secure more budget for security initiatives. Too many organizations run a pentest, file the report away, and move on without leveraging it for strategic value. We’ll break down how to translate findings into business language, influence leadership, and turn vulnerabilities into funding for better defenses.

In this episode, Brad and Spencer sit down with an experienced information security and risk manager to explore how they build and manage their security stack, choose the right tools, and win support from their team and leadership. We dig into the balance between technical defenses and business-driven risk management, from budgeting and vendor selection to measuring success and preparing for emerging threats. Whether you’re a hands-on practitioner or a security leader, you’ll walk away with practical insights on building stronger defenses and aligning security with business goals.

 In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most overlooked parts of a penetration test, when it actually makes sense to not fix a finding. Not every vulnerability deserves equal treatment, and sometimes accepting the risk is the most mature decision a business can make. We’ll cover how to recognize those situations, avoid common pitfalls, and document your choices so they stand up to scrutiny.

In this episode of The Cyber Threat Perspective, we’re exploring the broader security implications of artificial intelligence. AI is transforming everything—from how we defend our networks to how attackers exploit them. We’ll break down the risks, the opportunities, and what security teams need to be thinking about right now as AI becomes embedded in both our tools and becomes a part of our daily life.

In this episode, we're diving into what to do the minute incident response arrives. That first moment matters—a lot. Whether it's a ransomware attack, unauthorized access, or data exfiltration, how you act in minute one can either help or hinder the investigation. We’ll cover the do’s, don’ts, and common mistakes we see, so you’re ready when the heat is on.

In this episode of The Cyber Threat Perspective, we're diving into one of the most pressing trends in cybersecurity: how threat actors are using AI. From deepfake scams and AI-generated phishing emails to automated malware and voice cloning, attackers are leveraging artificial intelligence to scale their operations and sharpen their tactics. We’ll break down real-world examples, tools like WormGPT, and what this means for defenders going forward.

In this episode, we break down a question that often gets overlooked: When should you not do a penetration test? Not every organization needs a pentest right away, and choosing the wrong assessment can waste time, money, and effort. We’ll walk through the differences between pentests, vulnerability scans, and risk assessments — and when each one is the right move.
