Performance Through People as Executives Struggle and Mentorship Matters - Greg Hoffman - BSW #454 Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

One of the biggest questions most executives ask is "Why does it still feel this hard when the talent is clearly there?" The answer, in almost every case, is not a people problem. It is an environment problem. And environment is something a leader can build.

Greg Hoffman, President at Ascension Performance Group, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss his new book, Performance Through People, a leadership parable that shows a practical operating model for building the conditions where people perform at their highest level. It is written as a story, but it is built as a framework. Greg will discuss the core pillars of this framework, including:

Leadership First Mindset
Operational Clarity
Capability
Empowerment
Impact

Reducing Attack Surface & Evaluating Efficiency in Agents - Itamar Apelblat, David Goldschlag - ASW #389 Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

SquidBleed reveals another vuln that's been lurking for decades, but its real lesson is in managing an attack surface. Regardless of whatever programming language you use, removing code is one of the best security steps you can take, followed by changing default configs to turn off uncommon features and ancient protocols.

The Linux kernel's removal of strncpy is another example of managing attack surface by replacing a notoriously misused and ambiguous function with more specific versions that better match the developers intent. It was a six-year journey for the kernel, but one that should remove a class of vulns and, importantly, improve performance.

Then it's on to agents with a discussion of the newly released OWASP AISVS and yet another example of evaluating LLMs as code reviewers.

Agentic AI Has an Identity Problem

AI agents are already running inside enterprise environments, operating on credentials, API tokens, and cloud roles that most security teams have never inventoried. When an agent acts autonomously across production systems, the security question is no longer just what it can do but who it is and whether that identity is governed at all. Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security, discusses why identity is the right lens for understanding agentic AI risk and what practical steps security teams can take now.

Blended Identities and the challenge of IAM for AI

AI agents aren't quite human and aren't traditional machines. So how do you secure workflows that involve humans using AI to access sensitive data, and do it at machine speed and scale? David breaks down the challenges and discusses actual implementations of IAM for AI to explain how to solve them.

Fixing pentesting, Meta is destroying its engineering org, the weekly news - Adriel Desautels - ESW #465 Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

Interview with Adriel Desautels - the pentest is broken

Adriel joins us for a discussion on the state of penetration testing, why it hasn't done much to help security teams over the last 20 years, and why AI won't save it.

Segment Resources:

Topic: Why Meta is destroying its engineering organization

The titular essay: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/why-is-meta-destroying-its-engineering

A very interesting analysis of what's going on inside big tech companies as they try to dogfood their own AI hype and tokenmaxx themselves into oblivion. There have been a LOT of stories on this, but this is the most comprehensive and enlightening. A few more are linked below.

This is relevant to security, because heavier AI use appears to be linked to a much higher occurrence of availability and security issues.

The Newest Instagram "Exploit" is the Goofiest I've Seen

The Strategic Human Firewall as AI Impacts Regulations, Cyber Pros, and Employees - Robert Siciliano - BSW #453 Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

The 2026 Verizon DBIR has arrived and the results are in... Even with a substantial increase in Exploitation of Vulnerabilities, All Credential Abuse is still the top initial access vector for breaches, which means the human is still the weakest link. Why haven't security awareness training and phishing campaigns worked?

Robert Siciliano, Architect of of The Strategic Human Firewall™ at ProtectNow, joins Business Security Weekly to explore why humans, not hackers, are the ultimate deciding factor in organizational security. The industry needs to shift from security awareness to security appreciation. Robert will discuss:

How you can build a culture that actually protects your people, your data, and your operations in an era of AI deception.
Why most companies are still performing 'Security Theater'—checking boxes and hoping for the best—instead of driving genuine behavior change.
How Trust and Denial quietly fuel most disasters, why interactive training is the only way to make the lessons stick, and how leaders can scale this entire framework without needing a Hollywood budget.
