We’re pulling back the curtain on the technology industry to reveal what life looks like when you're constantly aware of what can go wrong. From the loss of childlike wonder when encountering new tech to the ethical dilemmas posed by autonomous vehicles, we discuss the unique burden of seeing technology's darker possibilities. We’re examining how years of witnessing security breaches and system failures shape a professional outlook that balances innovation with caution.

What do roller coasters and threat modeling have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode, we explore how security professionals view risk differently than everyone else—and why that matters. From roller coaster anxiety to the ethics of identifying danger, we dive into the unique mindset that comes with being a threat modeler. Because once you learn to see threats everywhere, there's no going back.

Is the cybersecurity industry facing a security problem or a software quality problem? In this episode, we’re tackling the controversial claim that AI advancements could make security teams obsolete—and uncover the deeper issues plaguing software development. The conversation reveals an uncomfortable truth: software companies often transfer the risk of vulnerabilities to customers, creating a system where there's little incentive to invest in security by design. Can AI bridge this gap, or do we need fundamental changes in how we approach software development and regulation?

We’re debating an online article claiming that the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) is a relic and needs to be updated for 21st-century threats. The discussion includes whether new properties like authenticity, accountability, and resilience should be incorporated into modern security models. And we delve into the use of analogies, system properties versus values, and the role of ethical considerations in cybersecurity. Listen along to our discussion on whether the foundational elements of security need a refresh.

We’re discussing the intriguing world of cyber privateers and the concept of 'hacking back' against cyber criminals. The discussion centers around a proposed bill in the U.S. Congress, H.R. 4988, that aims to authorize private individuals to pursue cyber criminals with the full backing of government-issued letters of marque. We explore the historical context of privateers, the potential legal and ethical implications, and the modern-day ramifications of such measures. And debate whether bringing back this old concept could be a solution to modern cyber threats or if it opens the door to more significant risks and unintended consequences.

Dr. Kim Wuyts and Avi Douglen join us in today's episode. Both guests are fresh from their training sessions at Black Hat and DEF CON in Las Vegas and share a quick overview of their experiences. We discuss a newly developed privacy awareness card game called 'Context and Cringe,' which aims to educate participants about privacy issues in a fun and interactive way. We also cover an upcoming training session at Global AppSec DC in November, where attendees will learn practical privacy strategies and get hands-on experience with the card game. Join us as we explore how privacy differs from traditional security concerns in being less precise and more subjective.

We’re talking about the rise of "vibe startups" - entrepreneurs hunting for problems to solve rather than building solutions from personal experience. We chat about AI security challenges, questioning whether these are truly new problems or just old security concepts repackaged for the AI era. From prompt injection and guardrails to the scary reality of AI agents acting as humans, we examine whether the industry's obsession with AI is leaving traditional security gaps exposed.
