Episode 92: Drones Go To War

🚁 Five people. Four states. One plan: fly explosive drones into a crowd of thousands, and gun down the people running away. That's what the FBI stopped four days before UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House on 14 June 2026. They coordinated on Signal. End-to-end encrypted. 23 users. Zero digital intercept. ⚠️ Since the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off on 11 June, US authorities have recorded 145 drone incursions into restricted airspace across 8 venues, in just 6 days. More than 50 drones seized. Atlanta alone logged 36 incursions. Kansas City intercepted 8 in a single day. This is not a hobbyist problem. This is a pattern. 🛡️ On this week's Priviso Live, Lyn, Stephen, and Kayla dig into what the threat actually looks like: domestic extremists, terrorist organisations, and nation-state actors with swarm capability, GPS-spoofing, and autonomous drones that emit no radio signal at all. They look at what's been deployed: Fortem's DroneHunter net-capture system, Sentrycs' Cyber-over-RF passive detection, the USD 115 million DHS investment, SkyDome C2, TrueView radar — and they map it all against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5. Then comes the debate: are these controls adequate? Or is the gap between physical security, information security, and counter-terrorism doctrine exactly where the adversary lives? 🇿🇦 And they bring it home: what does this mean for South African organisations protecting major events, critical infrastructure, and national key points? The lesson isn't just for the US. It's for every CISO, risk manager, and board member who still thinks physical and cyber security are two separate conversations. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, iHeart, or wherever you get your podcasts. 👇 Share this with a colleague in information security.
