Nexus: A Claroty Podcast

Check Point Head of Agentic Security Innovation Shahar Tal joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss research he and colleague Yarden Porat conducted that uncovered a dozen vulnerabilities in popular AI agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Microsoft Agent Framework, and Google ADK. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker to exploit the inherent trust given to AI agents and can pave the way to remote code execution and other malicious outcomes.

Ellen Boehm, Senior Vice President Strategy and AI Innovation at Keyfactor, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness in critical infrastructure organizations. A recent Executive Order on PQC installed a December 2030 deadline for federal agencies to transition high-value systems and key generation to PQC. The EO also directs CISA, other federal sector risk management agencies to assist with road map development. 
In this episode, Ellen discusses readiness in this context. She also delves into how critical infrastructure organizations overseeing fleets of cyber-physical systems (CPS) assets transition those environments and avoid disruptions. Governance, budgeting, supply chain management, and the AI-driven threat landscape are also discussed. 
This episode was recorded during the Black Hat USA Conference.

John Laliberte, CEO of ClearVector, joins the Nexus Podcast in an episode recorded at Black Hat 2026 in Las Vegas. Laliberte discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the creation of so-called non-human identities, including autonomous identities created by AI agents. 
Laliberte covers the risks and controls that enterprises and critical infrastructure organizations must consider as AI adoption accelerates everywhere.

Jessica Ji, a Senior Research Analyst at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology and its CyberAI Project, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss how frontier AI models such as Claude Mythos are changing cybersecurity for practitioners and policymakers alike. 
Jessica works closely with policymakers in the U.S. government. She discusses how they view AI models' offensive and defensive capabilities, the need for a long-term strategy on AI and cybersecurity, and the disparate incentives between private AI companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI and the government as these models are developed and deployed.

ICS Advisory Project founder Dan Ricci joins the Nexus Podcat to discuss how to turn operational technology (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) visibility into actual risk reduction. Dan describes the need to distinguish between asset lists and actual asset inventories, what those differences are, and how to make the most of the information made available. Device data such as firmware versions, protocol identification, and more are vital to other aspects of the OT and CPS protection program, including exposure management and segmentation initiatives.
Dan wrote more on this topic in this article: “From Inventory to Insight: Turning OT Visibility into Concrete Risk Reduction.”
