Huge thanks to our sponsor, ThreatLocker

Most breaches don't start with a zero-day — they start because something unexpected was allowed to run. One way organizations reduce risk is by shrinking the attack surface: deciding what software should be allowed to execute and blocking everything else by default. Fewer unknowns means fewer opportunities for attackers. Learn more at ThreatLocker.com

This episode is brought to you by Adaptive Security, the first security awareness platform built to stop AI-powered social engineering. Picture a "new hire" who interviews well… except they're synthetic: AI video, AI voice, AI backstory. Once they're in, they go after payroll, internal docs, and access. That's the new reality: the attack surface is trust itself. Adaptive fights back with realistic deepfake simulations and training that actually sticks. Learn more at adaptivesecurity.com.

This episode is brought to you by Adaptive Security, the first security awareness platform built to stop AI-powered social engineering. Attackers don't need malware anymore; they need trust. Tip: set a simple passphrase for high-risk actions, like wire requests or "urgent" account recovery – especially within finance teams and families. If the caller can't answer it, pause and verify. Adaptive runs deepfake and vishing simulations so employees practice this before it's real. Learn more at adaptivesecurity.com.

You can verify it. See it for yourself at Booth 455. dropzone.ai/rsa-2026-ai-diner
