The cybersecurity industry is undergoing a consolidation wave that is moving far faster than many realize. This isn’t at all about CISOs wanting fewer tools as much as some would like to think - the changes are happening at the macro level. Ross Haleliuk joins BSW to present the most comprehensive illustration ever made of how our industry has consolidated over the past 20 years, showing how 200 companies turned into just 11. Then we cover our quarterly Security Money segment. The markets are on a high, but the Security Weekly 25 index dips. What's up? We'll dig into the latest earnings and news for both the public and private security markets. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/bsw-411

In this must-see BlackHat 2025 interview, Doug White sits down with Michael Callahan, CMO at Salt Security, for a high-stakes conversation about Agentic AI, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and the massive API security risks reshaping the cyber landscape. Broadcast live from the CyberRisk TV studio at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, the discussion pulls back the curtain on how autonomous AI agents and centralized MCP hubs could supercharge productivity—while also opening the door to unprecedented supply chain vulnerabilities. From “shadow MCP servers” to the concept of an “API fabric,” Michael explains why these threats are evolving faster than traditional security measures can keep up, and why CISOs need to act before it’s too late. Viewers will get rare insight into the parallels between MCP exploitation and DNS poisoning, the hidden dangers of API sprawl, and why this new era of AI-driven communication could become a hacker’s dream.

Interview with Dave Lewis on Security's Role in M&A Due Diligence In this episode, Dave Lewis from 1Password discusses the critical importance of security in mergers and acquisitions, from due diligence through integration. He explores common pitfalls, essential security assessments, and practical strategies for security leaders to protect organizational value throughout the M&A process. Topic: The Challenge of Breach Transparency Every industry concerned with safety has a process for publishing the details of accidents, incidents, and failures. Cybersecurity has yet to reach this milestone, and hiding the details of failures is holding us back. This talk will argue for the need for breach details to go public, and share strategies for finding and using some little-known sources of detailed breach data.

Securing top-tier cybersecurity leadership is not just a necessity but a significant challenge, especially when working within budget constraints. Should you hire a full-time CISO or outsource to a vCISO provider? Brian Haugli, CEO at SideChannel, joins BSW to discuss how organizations can hire a Virtual CISO (vCISO) to benefit from their expertise without the costs and resource requirements of a full-time hire. Brian will share: vCISOs can be an effective solution for organizations that need to enhance their security program or respond to a breach, but know what to look for. If you're in the market for vCISO services or want to become a vCISO, don't miss this interview.

Interview with Harish Peri from Okta Oktane Preview: building frameworks to secure our Agentic AI future Like it or not, Agentic AI and protocols like MCP and A2A are getting pushed as the glue to take business process automation to the next level. Giving agents the power and access they need to accomplish these lofty goals is going to be challenging, from a security perspective. How do put AI agents in the position to perform broad tasks autonomously without granting them all the privileges? How do we avoid making AI agents a gold mine for attackers - the first place they stop once they hack into our companies? These are some examples of the questions Okta aims to answer at this year’s Oktane event, and we aim to kick off the conversations a little early - with this interview! Segment Resources: https://www.okta.com/oktane/ AI at Work 2025: Securing the AI-powered workforce Topic - Indirect Prompt Injection Getting Out of Hand Reports of indirect prompt injection issues have been around for a while. Of particular note was Michael Bargury's Living off Microsoft Copilot presentation from Black Hat USA 2024. Simply sending an email to a Copilot user could make bad stuff happen. Now, at Black Hat 2025, we've got more: the ability to plunder any data resource connected to ChatGPT (they call these integrations "Connectors") from Tamir Ishay Sharbat at Zenity Labs. The research is titled AgentFlayer: ChatGPT Connectors 0click Attack. Looks like Google Jules is also vulnerable to what the Embrace the Red blog is calling invisible prompts. Sourcegraph's Amp Code is also vulnerable to the same attack, which encodes instructions to make them invisible. What's really going to ruffle feathers is the fact that all these companies know this stuff is possible, but don't seem to be able to figure out how to prevent it. Ideally, we'd want to be able to distinguish between intended instruction and instructions injected via attachments or some other means outside of the prompt box. I guess that's easier said than done? News Finally, in the enterprise security news, All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-421

The industry is obsessed with vulnerabilities. From vulnerability assessment to vulnerability management to exposure management and even zero days, we love to talk about vulnerabilities. But what about misconfiguration? By definition it's a vulnerability or weakness, but it doesn't have a CVE (common vulnerability enumeration). Should we ignore it? Danny Jenkins, CEO and Founder at ThreatLocker, joins BSW to discuss why misconfigurations matter. Simply, you can prevent many cyberattacks by eliminating your misconfigurations. That's why ThreatLocker released Defense Against Configurations (DAC). Danny will discuss the benefits of DAC, including: Segment Resources: https://www.threatlocker.com/press-release/threatlocker-launches-dac-empowering-organizations-with-real-time-visibility-into-configuration-risks-and-compliance-gaps https://www.threatlocker.com/platform/defense-against-configurations This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

A smaller attack surface should lead to a smaller list of CVEs to track, which in turn should lead to a smaller set of vulns that you should care about. But in practice, keeping something like a container image small has a lot of challenges in terms of what should be considered minimal. Neil Carpenter shares advice and anecdotes on what it takes to refine a container image and to change an org's expectations that every CVE needs to be fixed.
