The Cyber Threat Perspective

In this episode, we take a step back from the AI hype and focus on what has actually changed in offensive security. AI isn’t replacing attackers or inventing brand-new techniques, but it is dramatically reducing friction across the attack lifecycle. We break down the myths, explain where AI is already impacting real-world attacks, and walk through how defenders need to adapt if they want to keep up.

In this episode, we dissect the dangerous trend of organizations ceding control of their security strategy to vendors, exploring the pitfalls of vendor lock-in, overspending, and the illusion of comprehensive protection. We'll provide actionable steps to reclaim your security posture and build an independent strategy tailored to your specific needs.

In this episode, Brad and Spencer from SecurIT360's Offensive Security group delve into the crucial reconnaissance phase attackers undertake before launching an attack. They discuss the real-world impact of seemingly harmless data leaks, how attackers chain them together to build a profile of your organization, and common misconceptions about what data is truly "sensitive" from an external attacker's perspective. Learn how organizations can realistically assess their external attack surface beyond automated scanning and discover creative OSINT techniques defenders can use to mimic attacker reconnaissance.
