AppSec has always emphasized techniques and tools for discovering vulns, along with taxonomies and lists for describing them. But just piling up more CVEs into a prioritized patching queue has never been an effective strategy. Nidhi Aggarwal talks about some of the economics and decisions that orgs evaluate when figuring out how to improve and protect their software. LLMs might be effective assist...

The threat landscape has become more interconnected, disruptive, and complex. Ransomware is now as much about extortion and data theft as it is about encryption. Supply chain events can create outages that ripple far beyond the initial target, and business interruption increasingly comes from third-party and cloud dependencies. How should CISOs prepare for these scenarios? Dan Bowden, Global Busin...

Sandboxing, least privilege, and monitoring are well-established controls in terms of the defenses they provide against unexpected and unauthorized actions. But being well-established in theory doesn't always translate to successful in practice. Kieran Human talks about some of the properties that a good sandbox should have and how monitoring creates a feedback loop to refine allow lists and acces...

Interview with Rob Allen from Threatlocker Safely enabling agentic AI for Businesses OpenClaw was the wakeup call and businesses wanted to know how to block it. "Easy," Rob Allen said, "it's already blocked if you're using Threatlocker." Now that things have settled down a bit, those same businesses want to allow their employees to experiment with agents. We discuss how they can do it safely. This...
