In the AI era, cybersecurity is undergoing a fundamental shift as AI agents transform both the speed and scale of attacks. In this interview, Gibb Witham, President and Chief Financial Officer of Hack The Box, explains why organizations must move beyond assumed AI capability toward measurable, validated cyber readiness for both humans and AI systems. Drawing on real-world benchmarks, agentic AI testing, and hands-on training, Witham outlines how security teams can safely adopt AI by proving performance under pressure. The discussion highlights why the future of cybersecurity depends on training, testing, and reinforcing human and AI operators together before they are trusted in critical environments.

As credential-based attacks continue to dominate headlines, many organizations are realizing that identity alone is no longer a sufficient control. This conversation explores the shift toward device-based access enforcement and why tying access to both user and device is becoming critical. We'll discuss how this evolution is reshaping Zero Trust strategies across modern environments. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

This episode is all about trust getting abused at scale. We start with Chinese-nexus operators pivoting fast onto Qatar using conflict lures and familiar tradecraft. Then we hit banking, because they deserve it: Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland customers seeing other people's transactions in-app, a straight confidentiality failure, not "someone hacked my phone". From there it's the Middle East conflict exposing what "cloud resilience" really means when the problem isn't cyber, it's physical disruption and dependency chains. Then Meta's takedown of 150,000 scam-linked accounts shows the fraud supply chain is still running hot, and the platforms are now part of the battleground whether they like it or not. The Microsoft story is the one to watch: a critical Excel bug that turns Copilot Agent into a zero-click data leak path. And the AI agent theme keeps going with Context7: attackers slipping instructions into "helpful" context and getting agents to do dumb, destructive things on their behalf. We finish with Stryker having the worst day with a major outage, disputed claims, and a reminder that if your management plane gets hit, you can lose the whole estate fast. Look at Intune. No hype. Just the stuff that actually breaks systems, me talking too fast, which to be honest 'slow' is why I turn most podcasts off. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/swn for all the latest episodes!

Cloud breaches don't always start in the cloud, but they do end there. To defeat an attacker you need to understand their mission target along with the access points available to them, regardless of whether they reside within or beyond the cloud. SentinelOne is purpose-built to stop attacks wherever they originate - from within and beyond the cloud. This year's OneCon aims to showcase exactly how Singularity Cloud Security can be applied to each stage of a cloud attack - from buildtime to runtime. You'll hear about the latest innovations for the Singularity Cloud Security product during our General Session. Immediately following, our packed Cloud Security Breakout session agenda will showcase how to put these capabilities into practice. You'll also hear more about our partnership with AWS and how we are advancing cloud security with Purple AI Support for AWS CloudTrail and Singularity Hyperautomation for AWS Security Incident Response. Live from SentinelOneCon 2025, join us for an in-depth conversation on today's rapidly shifting threat landscape. We'll explore what SentinelOne is seeing across global attack surfaces, how geopolitical tensions are shaping cyber activity, and the latest trends in threat actor behavior. Don't miss this opportunity to gain expert insight into the forces driving today's most critical cybersecurity challenges. This interview is sponsored by SentinelOne.

You survived the click—but now the click has evolved. In Part 2, the crew follows phishing and ransomware down the rabbit hole into double extortion, initial access brokers, cyber insurance drama, and the unsettling rise of agentic AI that can click, run scripts, and make bad decisions for you. The conversation spans ransomware economics, why paying criminals is a terrible plan with no guarantees, and how AI is turning social engineering into a whole new wild west.

It's the holidays, your defenses are down, your inbox is lying to you, and yes—you're gonna click the link. In Part 1 of our holiday special, Doug White and a panel of very smart people explain why social engineering still works decades later, why training alone won't save you, and why the real job is surviving after the click. From phishing and smishing to click-fix attacks, access control disasters, and stories that prove humans remain the weakest—and most entertaining—link in security, this episode sets the stage for the attack we all know is coming.
