Penetration tests are probably the most common and recognized cybersecurity consulting services. Nearly every business above a certain size has had at least one pentest by an external firm. Here's the thing, though - the average ransomware attack looks an awful lot like the bog standard pentest we've all been purchasing or delivering for years. Yet thousands of orgs every year fall victim to these...

Sounil Yu joins us to kick things off with AI defenses: Enterprise AI search tools like Copilot for Microsoft 365 lack the in-depth access controls required to ensure that query responses align with the user's need-to-know boundaries.

This is often one of the stickin...
