Threat Vector by Palo Alto Networks

Ingrid Parker, Director of Intel Response at Unit 42, has a background that doesn't fit the mold: art student, Army linguist, systems administrator deployed to Afghanistan, co-author of 11 Strategies of a World-Class Cybersecurity Operations Center. In this conversation, she and David dig into what it actually feels like to do threat intelligence at the highest levels — how you build the kind of thinking that lets you get inside an adversary's head, what you look for when you're hiring for that skill, and what the job quietly costs the people who do it well.

AI is the most powerful tool defenders have ever had. It's also the most dangerous weapon attackers have ever had. Assaf Keren, CSO at Qualtrics and author of Lessons from the Frontlines, has seen AI reshape both sides of the threat equation. In this conversation, he gets specific about what happens when powerful tools fall into the wrong hands, and what leaders need to do before they get caught off-guard. You'll learn: How attackers are using AI to move faster, scale wider, and go deeper than ever before Why the moment you deploy AI, your security posture fundamentally changes What curiosity-driven leadership looks like when the threat landscape won't sit still How to close the gap between the security team's understanding of AI and the rest of the organization What Assaf learned from 25+ years on the frontlines that still applies in the AI era #CyberSecurity #AIRisk Related Episodes: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly of AI Inside AI Runtime Defense Securing AI in the Enterprise About Threat Vector Threat Vector by Palo Alto Networks is your premier podcast for security thought leadership.

The FBI sees every breach. You see yours. Adam Maddock, Section Chief of the FBI's Cyber Technical Analytics and Operations Section, and Jarrod Schlenker, Assistant Section Chief leading the FBI Cyber Division's private-sector engagement, join David Moulton to walk through Operation Winter SHIELD, the FBI's public campaign built on what investigators see repeated across hundreds and thousands of cases. Ten defenses. All of them rooted in real intrusions. Most of them still missing from too many organizations. You'll learn: Why SMS-based MFA is no longer enough, and what phishing-resistant authentication actually looks like in practice How end-of-life SOHO routers and IoT devices become obfuscation infrastructure for attacks against targets that never knew they were involved Why calling the FBI early in an incident changes what's possible, and what you lose if you wait What the FBI means when it says industry is a "critical ally," not a passive recipient of intelligence Why you don't need to have your act together before you call your local FBI field office, and why trying to might actually hurt the investigation This episode is essential listening if you're: a CISO or security leader wondering what law enforcement actually needs from you, an executive who doesn't yet have a relationship with your local FBI field office, or a practitioner trying to understand which defensive investments move the needle most.
