Unpacking the latest annual report from Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs. We're talking with Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global VP Threat Intelligence, Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs, to get a snapshot of the active threat landscape and trends from 2024, including a comprehensive analysis across all tactics used in cyberattacks, as outlined in the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The report reveals that threat actors are increasingly harnessing automation, commoditized tools, and AI to systematically erode the traditional advantages held by defenders.

In this interview, Gunter Ollmann, Chief Technology Officer at Cobalt, unpacks the findings from the State of Pentesting Report 2025, spotlighting both measurable security progress and the rising challenges introduced by generative AI (genAI). While the report shows that organizations are resolving vulnerabilities faster than ever, genAI systems stand out as a growing security blind spot: only 21% of serious genAI vulnerabilities identified during penetration testing are fixed, compared to over 75% for API flaws and 68% for cloud vulnerabilities. Nearly 32% of genAI-related findings were classified as high risk — more than double the average across other systems. And although 98% of organizations are adopting genAI-powered features, only 66% are running regular security assessments on those systems.

Developers are relying on LLMs as coding assistants, so where are the LLM assistants for appsec? The principles behind secure code reviews don't really change based on who write the code, whether human or AI. But more code means more reasons for appsec to scale its practices and figure out how to establish trust in code, packages, and designs. Rey Bango shares his experience with secure code reviews and where developer education fits in among the adoption of LLMs. As businesses rapidly embrace SaaS and AI-powered applications at an unprecedented rate, many small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) struggle to keep up due to complex tech stacks and limited visibility into the skyrocketing app sprawl. These modern challenges demand a smarter, more streamlined approach to identity and access management.

We catch up on news after a week of BSidesSF and RSAC Conference. Unsurprisingly, AI in all its flavors, from agentic to gen, was inescapable. But perhaps more surprising (and more unfortunate) is how much the adoption of LLMs has increased the attack surface within orgs. The news is heavy on security issues from MCPs and a novel alignment bypass against LLMs. Not everything is genAI as we cover some secure design topics from the Airborne attack against Apple's AirPlay to more calls for companies to show how they're embracing secure design principles and practices. Apiiro CEO & Co-Founder, Idan Plotnik discusses the AI problem in AppSec. This segment is sponsored by Apiiro. Visit https://securityweekly.com/apiirorsac to learn more about them! Gen AI is being adopted faster than company’s policy and data security can keep up, and as LLM’s become more integrated into company systems and uses leverage more AI enabled applications, they essentially become unintentional data exfiltration points. These tools do not differentiate between what data is sensitive and proprietary and what is not. This interview will examine how the rapid adoption of Gen AI is putting sensitive company data at risk, and the data security considerations and policies organizations should implement before, if, and when their employees may seek to adopt a Gen AI tools to leverage some of their undeniable workplace benefits.

Over the past two decades, the browser has evolved from a simple web rendering engine to the primary gateway through which users interact with the internet, be it for work, leisure or transactions. In other words, browsers are becoming the new endpoint. Yet, despite the exponential growth of browser-native attacks, traditional security solutions continue to focus on endpoint and network, leaving a large gaping hole when it comes to browser security. SquareX has started the Year of Browser Bugs (YOBB), a yearlong initiative to draw attention to the lack of security research and rigor in what remains one of the most understudied attack vectors - the browser.

Identity has long been the soft underbelly of cybersecurity—but with AI, non-human identities (NHIs), and autonomous agents on the rise, it’s now front and center for security teams, the C-suite, and boardrooms alike. Adversaries aren’t just hacking systems anymore—they’re hijacking identities to slip through the cracks and move undetected in systems. For too long, identity security was treated as interchangeable with IAM—but that mindset is exactly what left critical gaps exposed.

In this live recording from BSidesSF we explore the factors that influence a secure design, talk about how to avoid the bite of UX dragons, and why designs should put classes of vulns into dungeons. But we can't threat model a secure design forever and we can't oversimplify guidance for a design to be "more secure". Kalyani Pawar and Jack Cable join the discussion to provide advice on evaluating secure designs through examples of strong and weak designs we've seen over the years. We highlight the importance of designing systems to serve users and consider what it means to have a secure design with a poor UX. As we talk about the strategy and tactics of secure design, we share why framing this as a challenge in preventing dangerous errors can help devs make practical engineering decisions that improve appsec for everyone.

As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data. In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He’ll explore the need for Extended Access Management, a modern approach that ensures every identity is authentic, every device is healthy, and every application sign-in is secure, including the unmanaged ones. Tune in to learn how security teams can bridge the Access-Trust Gap while empowering employees with frictionless security.

Secrets end up everywhere, from dev systems to CI/CD pipelines to services, certificates, and cloud environments. Vlad Matsiiako shares some of the tactics that make managing secrets more secure as we discuss the distinctions between secure architectures, good policies, and developer friendly tools. We've thankfully moved on from forced 90-day user password rotations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for rotating secrets. It means that the tooling and processes for ephemeral secrets should be based on secure, efficient mechanisms rather than putting all the burden on users. And it also means that managing secrets shouldn't become an unmanaged risk with new attack surfaces or new points of failure.

Zero Trust isn't a new concept, but not one easily implemented. How do organizations transform cybersecurity from a "default allow" model, where everything is permitted unless blocked, to a "default deny" model? Danny Jenkins, Co-founder and CEO at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss this approach. Deny by default means all actions are blocked by default, with only explicitly approved activities allowed. This shift enhances security, reduces vulnerabilities, and sets a new standard for protecting organizations from cyber threats. ‍ Danny will discuss how ThreatLocker not only protects your endpoints and data from zero-day malware, ransomware, and other malicious software, but provides solutions for easy onboarding, management, and eliminates the lengthy approval processes of traditional solutions.

The breaches will continue until appsec improves. Janet Worthington and Sandy Carielli share their latest research on breaches from 2024, WAFs in 2025, and where secure by design fits into all this. WAFs are delivering value in a way that orgs are relying on them more for bot management and fraud detection. But adopting phishing-resistant authentication solutions like passkeys and deploying WAFs still seem peripheral to secure by design principles. We discuss what's necessary for establishing a secure environment and why so many orgs still look to tools. And with LLMs writing so much code, we continue to look for ways LLMs can help appsec in addition to all the ways LLMs keep recreating appsec problems.

Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most. The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up. Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead.

We have a top ten list entry for Insecure Design, pledges to CISA's Secure by Design principles, and tons of CVEs that fall into familiar categories of flaws. But what does it mean to have a secure design and how do we get there? There are plenty of secure practices that orgs should implement are supply chains, authentication, and the SDLC. Those practices address important areas of risk, but only indirectly influence a secure design. We look at tactics from coding styles to design councils as we search for guidance that makes software more secure.

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited. Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach? We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills.

We take advantage of April Fools to look at some of appsec's myths, mistakes, and behaviors that lead to bad practices. It's easy to get trapped in a status quo of chasing CVEs or discussing which direction to shift security. But scrutinizing decimal points in CVSS scores or rearranging tools misses the opportunity for more strategic thinking. We satirize some worst practices in order to have a more serious discussion about a future where more software is based on secure designs.

Cybersecurity teams were under increasing strain in 2024. To alleviate this burden, 2025 will see greater reliance on automation to streamline workflows, enhance threat detection, and accelerate incident response. But some of these investments may come with risks. Greg Sullivan, Founding Partner at CIOSO Global, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how the pace of investment will require better risk management. Greg will cover topics, including: The seismic C-level shift in interest will require a top-down approach to cybersecurity. The focus will shift from external cybersecurity solutions to building in-house resilience. The critical criteria needed to drive more refined defenses, smarter resource allocation, and wiser cybersecurity investments.

LLMs are helping devs write code, but is it secure code? How are LLMs helping appsec teams? Keith Hoodlet returns to talk about where he's seen value from genAI, where it fits in with tools like source code analysis and fuzzers, and where its limitations mean we'll be relying on humans for a while. Those limitations don't mean appsec should dismiss LLMs as a tool. It means appsec should understand how things like context windows might limit a tool's security analysis to a few files, leaving a security architecture review to humans.

What does a mature SecOps team look like? There is pressure to do more with less staff, increase efficiency and reduce costs. JP Bourget's experience has led him to believe that the answer isn't a tool upgrade, it's better planning, architecture, and process. In this interview, we'll discuss some of the common mistakes SecOps teams make, and where to start when building the SOC of the future. It feels like forever ago, but in the mid-2010s, we collectively realized, as an industry, that prevention was never going to be enough. Some attacks were always going to make their way through. Then ransomware got popular and really drove this point home. Detection engineering is a tough challenge, however. Where do we start? Which attacks should we build detections for? How much of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix do we need to cover? How often do these detections need to be reviewed and updated? Wait, are any of our detections even working? In this interview with Michael Mumcuoglu, we'll discuss where SecOps teams get it wrong. We'll discuss common pitfalls, and strategies for building more resilient and effective detections. Again, as an industry, we need to understand why ransomware attacks keep going unnoticed, despite attackers using routine techniques and tools that we see over and over and over again.

Organizations continue to suffer from security breaches, too many of which contain a human element. But there’s no consistent definition of the risk posed by human-related breaches, and recommendations are often limited to security awareness and training (SA&T). Understanding the depth and breadth of human-related breaches is critical to implementing adequate security controls within organizations. Jinan Budge, Research Director at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss their Best Practice Report on Deconstructing Human-Element Breaches. Jinan will cover the breadth of human-related breaches, including: Social Engineering Human Error Loss/Theft of Physical Assets Social Media Compromise Insider Risk Deep Fake Scams Gen AI Misuse Narrative Attacks and why Security and Awareness Training is not the sole answer to solving human-related breaches.
