Show Notes
In this episode of Prime Cyber Insights, hosts Aaron Cole and Lauren Mitchell explore the cutting edge of AI-driven defense with Anthropic’s new Claude Code Security tool. We analyze how this platform leverages the Opus 4.6 model to map codebases like a human expert, finding vulnerabilities that have remained undetected for years. The conversation turns to the urgent threat landscape, focusing on the critical BeyondTrust vulnerability (CVE-2026-1731) and its direct link to ransomware attacks hitting healthcare providers like the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Guest Chad Thompson joins the show to offer a director-level perspective on operational resilience and managing automated threats. We also break down the staggering new data from Radware regarding a 168% increase in DDoS frequency and the FBI’s latest alert on ATM jackpotting losses. Finally, we look at the regulatory landscape as CISA opens new feedback windows for the CIRCIA incident reporting rules.
