    What happens after North Korea infiltrates?

    In this episode, investigative journalist Geoff White joins James Wilson for a look into the complex machine that is North Korea’s IT worker infiltration scheme.

    Why CISOs need to be more flexible in the AI era

    In this episode, James Wilson chats with Brad Arkin (former CISO of Adobe, Cisco and Salesforce) to talk about the mounting pressure that CISOs are under in the AI era. Attackers are operating at unprecedented scale, and internal users are adopting AI faster than security teams can keep up. This requires CISOs to bend on things that would have otherwise been a hard-no in the past, and revisit some fundamental controls that might have seemed too difficult previously. Show notes

    A Risky Biz Experiment: Hunting for iOS 0day with AI

    In this sort-of-solo episode, James Wilson is “joined” by one of his OpenClaw AI agents for a chat about whether or not an LLM can understand, modify or even create a sophisticated nation-state grade iOS exploit kit. Technically this podcast is James having a conversation with himself, but the exchange is illuminating. It turns out LLMs can really help with finding 0day, even in mature code repos like WebKit.
