In this revealing episode, we tackle the fundamental question that organisations struggle with during security incidents: Which risk is more impactful - the operational disruption from implementing rapid security changes, or the potential breach damage from delayed response?

Most organisations unconsciously prioritize operational stability ("We need more testing") over security urgency, creating a dangerous gap between threat detection and response. I expose how attackers exploit this decision-making delay, sharing real-world examples where companies thought they were being prudent but were actually increasing their vulnerability with every passing hour.

Drawing from extensive incident response experience, I break down the true costs of security hesitation, reveal the regulatory misconceptions that paralyze response teams, and provide practical frameworks for balancing essential testing with rapid security action. You'll discover how organizations of all sizes can transform their approach to make faster, better security decisions when uncertainty exists and time is critical.

If you're responsible for security or IT operations, this episode will transform how you think about risk calculation during potential incidents and provide actionable strategies to close your response gap.

"The Cyber Mirage: Why Organizations Think They're Secure (But Aren't)"

In this special episode, we dive into cybersecurity expert Sandeep Jaryal's groundbreaking new book that's challenging everything you thought you knew about security. Discover the four critical blind spots leaving organizations vulnerable despite their hefty security investments and compliance certifications. With insights from Sandeep's 19 years in the trenches and a fascinating guest chapter on Agentic AI from Microsoft threat intelligence leader Suraj Singh, this isn't just another technical manual—it's a paradigm shift in how we approach cybersecurity. Whether you're a CISO, consultant, or board member, this conversation reveals why seeing through the mirage is the first step toward genuine protection. Available now with exclusive bonus content for early readers.

Trick-o-Threat with ScyberX explores the cutting-edge security threats targeting today's enterprises. In this episode, we dive deep into AI Security Posture Management - why your smartest systems could be your biggest vulnerability. Learn how sophisticated attackers are compromising enterprise AI, the technical safeguards needed to protect these systems, and practical steps to secure your organization's AI assets. From the NeuroToxin attack that cost businesses millions to emerging quantum threats, this technical deep dive equips security professionals with actionable intelligence on the evolving AI security landscape.

In this episode, we break down how AI-powered cyber attacks are fundamentally changing the security landscape. We'll take you inside the "invisible chess match" that's playing out in SOCs worldwide, where traditional defences are struggling against threats that can change tactics 12+ times during a single intrusion.

We share real-world examples from my consulting experience, explaining the three critical shifts in the threat landscape: increased velocity, expanded creativity, and democratised access to advanced capabilities. More importantly, We outline the practical strategies organisations are successfully implementing to counter these emerging threats, with specific implementation guidance you can apply to your security program.

Whether you're a CISO, security analyst, or IT leader concerned about evolving threats, this video provides both the strategic context and tactical approaches needed to adapt your security posture for the age of AI-powered attacks.
