Risky Bulletin: Dutch intel services to get extensive new powers

In this Risky Business sponsored interview, James Wilson chats with Dropzone AI’s founder and CEO Edward Wu to debunk the adage, “an attacker only has to be right once”. Modern intruders need to be successful across multiple steps before actually reaching an organisation’s “crown jewels”.

The pair chat about where AI helps attackers, why autonomous post-compromise agents aren’t quite here yet, and how AI can bolster the capacity of security teams when investigating alerts and reducing response times.

Tom Uren and James Wilson talk about evidence that Chinese APT groups are using AI in a really sensible way, to beef up their malware arsenal. This will make it harder for threat intel firms to cluster activity for attribution.

They also discuss the US disrupting Iranian hackers by revealing that some of them are hacking the country’s own firms. That’s a new tactic, but making that information public in a Treasury Department sanctions package doesn’t really make sense.
