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.
