On this week’s show Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by special guest co-host Brad Arkin to talk through the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
- Sacré bleu! Hackers turn up the heat at French supermarket freezers
- ShinyHunters enters “find out” stage
- Netscaler, Zimbra, SharePoint, Atlassian…. So many bugs exploited in the wild
- More models “behave badly” (by… doing exactly what we’re telling them to do)
- Ukraine hit another Yandex data centre in Russia and all those Texan patriots with numbers in their usernames have gone super quiet
- Much, much more…
This week’s show is brought to you by Corelight. Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Gregory Bell joins James Wilson to chat about the company’s new white paper that looks into whether a sophisticated model or nicely structured data is more important with automated SOC work.
