  1. Agentic AI and the New Security Choke Point - Ep 188

    Agentic AI and the New Security Choke Point - Ep 188

    Agentic AI is moving fast — and it’s changing how risk shows up inside modern organizations. Autonomous AI agents are no longer just answering questions. They’re wired into cloud consoles, internal tools, ticketing systems, and finance platforms, acting on our behalf with real permissions and real consequences. And in the rush to automate, many teams are quietly centralizing access in ways security models were never designed to handle. In this episode, Ben sits down with Tyler Moffitt to break down what’s actually happening with agentic AI, why security teams are raising red flags, and how incentives around speed, automation, and scale are reshaping risk. They explore over-permissioned agents, token hygiene failures, broken separation of duties, and why AI agents are becoming the new security choke point. The conversation also looks at how attackers are already using agentic AI to operate at machine speed — and what defenders can do now to design systems that assume compromise rather than perfection. If you’re building, deploying, or securing AI agents, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

    AI Regulation: What Security Teams Need to Know - Ep 187

    AI has officially moved from experimentation to execution—and regulation is racing to catch up. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt is joined by Matt Aldridge to unpack what the rapidly evolving AI regulatory landscape means for security teams, businesses, and managed service providers heading into 2026. From the EU AI Act and GDPR to California’s CPRA and emerging rules around automated decision-making, they explore how governments are trying to balance innovation with safety, privacy, and accountability. The conversation dives into the real-world security implications of agentic AI, autonomous decision-making, biased training data, and the growing risks of AI systems operating with minimal oversight. Whether you’re an enterprise security leader, an SMB, or an MSP supporting multiple customers, this episode breaks down why AI regulation is no longer a future concern—and what practical steps organizations should be taking now to reduce risk, protect data, and responsibly govern AI adoption.

  3. When Good Enough Isn't Enough - Ep 186

    When Good Enough Isn't Enough - Ep 186

    Microsoft Defender is often treated as “good enough” security—built in, always on, and quietly doing its job. But what happens when malware convinces Windows to turn it off without triggering alarms? In this episode, cybersecurity expert Tyler Mofitt breaks down a real-world Windows malware campaign that disables Defender before anything else happens. No zero-days. No flashy exploits. Just a quiet abuse of built-in trust that causes Windows to step aside its own protection. He walks through how shortcut files, PowerShell, and legitimate cloud services are used to blend into normal activity, why Defender doesn’t fail so much as follow the rules, and what defenders should be watching for when “installed” doesn’t always mean “active.” A conversation about assumptions, visibility, and why the most dangerous attacks don’t look dangerous at all.

    Cyber Resilience in 2026: Leadership, Risk, and Reality - Ep 185

    In this episode, Rob Aragao sits down with Theresa Lanowitz for a deep dive into the evolving meaning of cyber resilience and why it has become a true business imperative. Moving beyond traditional cybersecurity, the conversation explores how organizations must unite leadership, technology, and operations to withstand and recover from today’s most disruptive cyber events. Theresa shares insights on the defining attacks of 2025, including the rise of AI-driven social engineering, software supply chain compromises, and credential-based intrusions from new-generation threat groups. The discussion also looks ahead to 2026, examining emerging risks around data misuse, non-human identities, insider threats, and the long-term impact of breached data. Together, Rob and Theresa unpack why cyber resilience must be owned at the board and C-suite level, how software supply chain complexity has become a critical weakness, and what organizations can do to better govern, protect, and use their most sensitive data. This episode offers a strategic perspective for leaders looking to align cyber resilience with business outcomes in an increasingly connected and unpredictable digital world.

    New Attacks Show Hackers Are Taking it Easy - Ep 184

    Low effort cybercrime continues to dominate the threat landscape as attackers rely on misconfigurations, exposed databases, stolen credentials, and extortion tactics—not advanced exploits—to cause real damage.  In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, cyber expert Tyler Moffitt breaks down recent stories including ShinyHunters extortion of Pornhub user activity data and widespread MongoDB database exposure to explain why fundamentals like asset visibility, identity controls, and incident readiness matter more than ever in 2026.

    Quantum Is Coming, Are You Ready? - Ep 183

    Quantum computing is coming—but what does that actually mean for cybersecurity leaders today? In this episode, Rob Aragao is joined by Morgan Adamski to break down key insights from PwC’s 2026 Global Digital Trust Insights Report and explore why quantum risk belongs on every CISO’s strategic roadmap.

Morgan demystifies quantum threats to encryption, explains the “harvest now, decrypt later” risk, and shares practical steps organizations can take today—starting with asset visibility, prioritization, and clear communication with the board. If you’re thinking beyond today’s incidents and preparing for tomorrow’s threats, this episode is for you.
