This podcast delves into the findings of Red Canary's 2025 Threat Detection Report, dissecting the major cybersecurity trends observed in 2024. We explore the surge in ransomware, increasingly sophisticated initial access techniques like "paste and run," the dramatic rise of identity attacks targeting cloud environments, persistent vulnerability exploitation, the proliferation of stealer malware on Windows and macOS, the emergence of state-sponsored insider threats, the consistent abuse of VPNs, the growing landscape of cloud attacks, and the dominance of stealers in Mac malware. Understand the implications of these trends and how organizations can shift their security strategies towards early detection and effective response across endpoints, identities, and cloud resources, moving beyond prevention to identify and mitigate threats before they cause significant harm.

Dive into the alarming world of secrets sprawl, exploring the growing number of exposed API keys, passwords, and other sensitive credentials across development environments, collaboration tools, and cloud platforms. Based on the latest data analysis from GitGuardian's "The State of Secrets Sprawl 2025" report, we uncover the primary risk categories and attack vectors, the cascade effect of minor leaks, and the critical timelines that make rapid remediation essential. We'll also discuss the challenges organizations face, from the limitations of secrets managers and the dangers of excessive permissions to the persistent problem of unfixed exposed credentials and the overlooked risks in collaboration tools. Join us to understand the real-world impact of secrets sprawl and learn strategies for effective management and mitigation.

This podcast breaks down the complexities of the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework. We delve into the fundamental differences between Level 1's basic safeguarding requirements, Level 2's alignment with NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2, and Level 3's enhanced security based on NIST SP 800-172 and government assessment. Understand the distinct security requirements, assessment processes (self-assessment vs. certification by C3PAOs or DIBCAC), and prerequisites for each level to ensure your organization can confidently navigate the CMMC landscape.

In an era where cyber and physical threats increasingly intersect, critical infrastructure faces unprecedented risks. This podcast delves into the crucial need for security convergence, exploring how organizations can break down security silos between IT, physical security, and operational technology (OT) to achieve a holistic and resilient defense. We examine the challenges of converging disparate security cultures and technologies, and highlight the benefits of a unified approach, including improved risk management, efficiency, and protection against hybrid threats. Drawing on expert insights and real-world examples, we explore strategies for strategic alignment, joint risk assessments, and the implementation of frameworks that foster collaboration and a stronger security posture for the foundational systems that underpin modern society.
