Thank you to ThreatLocker for sponsoring my trip to ZTW26 and also for sponsoring this video. To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal
Are your passwords and 2FA enough to stop a modern cyber attack? In this interview, Rob from
ThreatLocker breaks down the dangerous reality of password reuse, SIM swapping, and why
traditional SMS MFA is no longer bulletproof.
We dive deep into how threat actors use reverse proxies like Evilginx to steal session cookies, allowing them to bypass multi-factor authentication and hijack your accounts without ever needing your password.
Discover why relying on legacy VPNs and leaving firewall ports open to the internet massively
increases your attack surface, leaving your organization just one brute-force attack away from
ransomware. Finally, we explore the mechanics of ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust Network Access
and Cloud Access, detailing how denying by default and routing through secure proxies can lock
down Microsoft 365 and make your internal network effectively invisible to hackers.

In this interview, Cisco VP Rick Miles breaks down the evolution of the
firewall, the massive hardware leap of the 6100 series, and how AI agents and eBPF are completely reshaping the industry. Whether you're trying to secure AI models against prompt injection or wondering if AI will replace your networking job by 2030, this is the technical reality check every engineer needs to hear right now.
Has the role of the traditional firewall changed? Rick Miles, VP of Product at Cisco, joins David Bombal at Cisco Live EMEA to reveal the massive architectural shift from static "firewalls" to dynamic "firewalling."
This deep-dive interview covers the incredible specs of the new Cisco Secure Firewall 6100 series—boasting 80% less space, 60% less power, and up to 8 Terabits of clustered throughput in a 2RU form factor. We also explore how eBPF is revolutionizing deep visibility and virtual patching directly at the application layer, moving security beyond the edge.
But hardware is only half the story. We also break down the new "Wild West" of AI cybersecurity. Learn how to secure the network against prompt injection, poisoned AI models, and unsecured Model Context Protocols (MCP). Finally, Rick shares his vision for 2030: "Agentic" security. Will AI agents replace network engineers, or will they become the ultimate force multiplier for your career?

#560: The one BIG mistake you are making with DNS security today
3/18/2026
Big thank you to Infoblox for sponsoring this video. To learn more about Infoblox please visit: https://www.infoblox.com/
Do you know the difference between encrypted DNS and secure DNS? DNS veteran Cricket Liu, author of DNS and Bind, joins David Bombal to break down common misconceptions, explain the crucial distinction between security and privacy; and outline a massive update to the NIST Secure DNS Deployment Guide (SP 800-81). If you run a network, you cannot afford to ignore this control point.
Detailed Breakdown:
DNS is the Achilles' heel of internet infrastructure. While newer protocols like DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) solve the cleartext privacy problem, they do not stop malware, phishing, or data exfiltration. In fact, attackers are now using encrypted DNS against us.
In this deep-dive interview, Cricket Liu explains how DNS security must evolve beyond simple encryption to include Protective DNS (PDNS) using Response Policy Zones (RPZ). Learn how to turn your existing DNS infrastructure into a low-cost, high-efficiency control point that blocks malicious C2 rendezvous, phishing links, and DNS tunneling automatically.
We also tackle the DNSSEC confusion head-on. Cricket clarifies exactly why DNSSEC is about validation and integrity, not encryption, and discusses the looming threat of quantum computing on modern cryptographic standards. Finally, we discuss real-world attack vectors, including a wild story about a dangling CNAME record on CDC.gov that was hijacked to game search engine rankings, and how the updated NIST guide shifts focus from just network administrators to security practitioners.
