2025 Cyber Attack Playbooks: Navigating the Future Threat Landscape
This podcast delves into the critical insights found within the 2025 Cybersecurity Attacks Playbooks, exploring the diverse and evolving threat landscape organizations face. We examine playbooks covering threats from AI-enhanced phishing and advanced ransomware to the complexities of supply chain compromises, zero-day exploits, and AI-powered malware. We also discuss emerging threats like deepfake social engineering, quantum computing vulnerabilities, and securing IoT devices. Each episode breaks down the essential stages outlined in the playbooks for specific attacks: Preparation to build foundational defenses, Detection to identify threat indicators, Analysis to understand the attack's scope and methods, Containment/Eradication tailored to the specific threat vector, and Recovery to restore operations and resilience. Gain a deeper understanding of modern attack vectors like credential stuffing, fileless malware, rogue access points, SQL injection, steganography-based data exfiltration, and cache poisoning, as well as network attacks like homograph attacks, Denial-of-Service (DoS), and watering hole attacks, and complex infiltrations like island hopping and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Tune in to learn how the playbooks guide organizations through detection, response, and the vital Lessons Learned process to continuously improve their cybersecurity posture.

Beyond the Scan: Unmasking Hidden Risks and Unfixed Flaws in the Age of AI
In this episode, we dive deep into the findings of the State of Pentesting Report 2025 to explore the real state of cybersecurity. Organizations may feel confident, but pentesting consistently reveals hidden, exploitable vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss. We'll uncover the most significant risks identified through human-led pentests, from common web and mobile application flaws like Server Security Misconfiguration and Missing Access Control to the rapidly emerging and uniquely challenging security issues in AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). Learn why AI/LLM tests have a significantly higher proportion of serious findings and the specific threats like Insecure Output Handling, Prompt Injection, and Unbounded Consumption. More critically, we'll address the disconnect between perceived security and reality by examining why less than half of all findings ever get resolved and how even serious vulnerabilities often remain open for months or years, far exceeding targeted SLAs. We'll explore the factors influencing this remediation struggle, including criticality, pentest type, organizational size, industry, and internal processes. Tune in to understand the critical need for a programmatic approach to offensive security and the challenges teams face in fixing what pentesters find.

Building Cyber Warriors: The Evolving Cyber Professional
In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, professionals face constant challenges that demand adherence to strict ethical and legal guidelines. This episode delves into the key ethical and legal considerations, such as protecting individual privacy, ensuring robust data protection, maintaining confidentiality, and complying with relevant laws and regulations like GDPR and CCPA. We discuss responsible practices like vulnerability disclosure and the ethical use of cybersecurity tools. Given the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats and technologies, staying updated is not optional; it's an imperative for success. Join us as we explore why continuous education and professional development are essential strategies for cybersecurity professionals to navigate this complex terrain, adapt to emerging trends, maintain expertise, and uphold trust.

The Iceberg Impact: Unpacking the Hidden Costs of Cyber Attacks
Join us as we delve into the complex and pervasive world of cyber risk, exploring the threats, vulnerabilities, and far-reaching consequences for organizations today. Drawing on insights from experts, we'll discuss how cyber attacks can lead to outcomes ranging from regulatory fines and reputational loss to the complete failure of a business. Go beyond the headlines of data breaches and understand the full "iceberg impact" of cyber losses, including significant uninsurable costs like reputational damage, loss of customers, stock devaluation, and devaluation of intellectual property that often exceed the direct financial costs. We'll explore how attacks threaten critical corporate data, intellectual property, and customer details, potentially causing financial loss and damage to market value, share price, and competitive advantage. The conversation will touch upon the challenges posed by mobile devices, social media, and supply chain vulnerabilities, and the critical need for organizations to accurately assess their cyber risk exposure, identify their "crown jewels" of critical data, and prepare for inevitable incidents through robust incident management and layered defenses.

The MAESTRO Framework: Layering Up Against MAS Security Threats
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), characterized by multiple autonomous agents coordinating to achieve shared goals, introduce additional complexity and expand the attack surface compared to single-agent systems. This episode delves into the unique security challenges presented by MAS, drawing on the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative's MAESTRO (Multi-Agent Environment, Security, Threat, Risk, and Outcome) framework. We explore how MAESTRO provides a layered and architectural methodology for structured threat modeling in MAS. The framework breaks down MAS security into seven distinct architectural layers, each with specific concerns, from the Foundation Model to the Agent Ecosystem. Crucially, we examine the cross-layer risks and emergent behaviors unique to MAS environments, highlighting how vulnerabilities don't just exist within layers but manifest through complex interactions between them. Furthermore, we discuss the key agentic factors—Non-Determinism, Autonomy, Agent Identity Management, and Agent-to-Agent Communication—that MAESTRO emphasizes as significantly contributing to these threat scenarios and amplifying risks across layers. Tune in to understand how applying MAESTRO helps uncover and mitigate these multifaceted security challenges in real-world MAS deployments, as detailed in the OWASP Multi-Agentic system Threat Modelling Guide.
