Episode 44 of Cybersecurity Business with Fexingo dives into the rise of structured threat intelligence sharing among enterprise security teams. Lucas and Luna examine how organizations are moving beyond siloed defense to join information-sharing and analysis centers (ISACs) and adopt platforms like MISP and STIX/TAXII. They discuss a real-world case: how the Health-ISAC helped hospitals patch a c...

Lucas and Luna explore how enterprises are using vendor security ratings — letter-grade scores from firms like SecurityScorecard and BitSight — to assess third-party risk before signing contracts. They walk through a real example: how a mid-sized bank used a rating of 'C' on a cloud storage vendor to push for remediation clauses, saving an estimated $2.3 million in potential breach costs. The epis...

Episode 42 of Cybersecurity Business with Fexingo dives into Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) — the security framework that Gartner predicts will reduce attack surface exploitation by two-thirds by 2027. Lucas and Luna break down how companies like a mid-sized financial services firm used CTEM to cut their exposure window from 90 days to under 72 hours, without buying a single new tool...

Episode 41 of Cybersecurity Business with Fexingo explores deception technology, a proactive defense strategy where security teams deploy decoys—fake servers, credentials, and data—to lure attackers away from real assets. Lucas and Luna dive into a case study: a mid-sized healthcare company that detected a ransomware intrusion within minutes after an attacker triggered a decoy Active Directory acc...

Episode 40 of Cybersecurity Business with Fexingo explores why forward-looking CISOs are ditching the traditional castle-and-moat model for cyber mesh architecture.
