Up first, the ASW news of the week. At Black Hat 2025, Doug White interviews Ted Shorter, CTO of Keyfactor, about the quantum revolution already knocking on cybersecurity’s door. They discuss the terrifying reality of quantum computing’s power to break RSA and ECC encryption—the very foundations of modern digital life. With 2030 set as the deadline for transitioning away from legacy crypto, organizations face a race against time. Ted breaks down what "full crypto visibility" really means, why it’s crucial to map your cryptographic assets now, and how legacy tech—from robotic sawmills to outdated hospital gear—poses serious risks. The interview explores NIST's new post-quantum algorithms, global readiness efforts, and how Keyfactor’s acquisitions of InfoSec Global and Cipher Insights help companies start the quantum transition today—not tomorrow. Don’t wait for the breach. Watch this and start your quantum strategy now. If digital trust is the goal, cryptography is the foundation.

In this must-watch conversation, Seemant reveals how his groundbreaking approach, Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV), flips the script on traditional defense-heavy security strategies. Instead of drowning in 10,000+ “critical” alerts, AEV pinpoints what actually matters—using Generative AI to map realistic attack paths, visualize kill chains, and identify the exact vulnerabilities that put an organization’s crown jewels at risk. From his days leading cybersecurity at a major global bank to pioneering near real-time CVE validation, Seemant shares insights on scaling offensive security, improving executive buy-in, and balancing automation with human expertise. Whether you’re a CISO, SOC analyst, red teamer, or security enthusiast, this interview delivers actionable strategies to fight fatigue, prioritize risks, and protect high-value assets. Key topics covered: - The truth about alert fatigue & why it’s crippling SOC efficiency - How AI-driven offensive security changes the game - Visualizing kill chains to drive faster remediation - Why fixing “what matters” beats fixing “everything” - The future of AI trust, transparency, and control in cybersecurity Watch now to discover how BreachLock is redefining offensive security for the AI era.

Doug White sits down with Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist at LevelBlue, for a powerful and timely conversation about one of cybersecurity’s most pressing threats: the software supply chain. Theresa shares fresh insights from LevelBlue’s global research involving 1,500 cybersecurity professionals across 16 countries. Together, they unpack the real-world risks of software acquisition in the API economy, the explosive growth of AI-generated code, and the rise of “vibe coding”—and how these trends are silently expanding the attack surface for organizations everywhere.

In this interview, Yuval Wollman, President of CyberProof, unpacks how AI agents are not only expanding the attack surface—but reshaping the entire cyber threat landscape. Discover how ransomware-as-a-service platforms like Funksec and Dragonforce are operating with enterprise-level precision. Learn about the role of agentic AI, geopolitical cyber warfare, and why today's hackers offer better customer support than airlines. This segment is sponsored by CyberProof.

Doug White and Mickey Bresman, CEO of Semperis, dive deep into a conversation on the evolution of ransomware and the alarming rise of cyber extortion tactics. From the early days of encryption-only attacks to today's ransomware-as-a-service operations and hybrid threats blending digital and physical intimidation, this interview unpacks the growing sophistication of organized cybercrime. Mickey shares firsthand insights from Semperis’ recent ransomware report, including a chilling real-world example where a photo of a child was used to threaten an IT professional — illustrating how far threat actors are willing to go.

Guy, CEO & Co-Founder of Sevco Security, to unpack a 20-year industry failure finally being addressed: the disconnect between asset inventory, vulnerability visibility, and true cyber risk understanding. From the roots of CASM (Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management) to the convergence with CTE (Continuous Threat Exposure), JJ shares how Sevco is tackling today's fragmented environments — spanning cloud, on-prem, mobile, and containers — with a data-first approach.

From ransomware-as-a-service to agentic AI, this interview pulls back the curtain on the real-world intel enterprises need to defend against today’s most dangerous digital threats. Jason shares how threat actors are using business models that rival legitimate startups — complete with support teams and customer service — while enterprise security teams face shrinking budgets and expanding attack surfaces.

CyberRisk TV sits down with HD Moore, CEO & Co-Founder of runZero, for a conversation on why vulnerability management is still failing enterprises — and what needs to change now. This interview dives deep into the real-world challenges facing security teams today: tool overload, missing assets, unauthenticated exposures, and the illusion of visibility. HD reveals how attackers are exploiting blind spots faster than defenders can react — and why unauthenticated discovery is the secret weapon defenders need. Try runZero free!
