In this Risky Business News sponsor interview, Catalin Cimpanu talks with Jimmy Mesta, CTO and Co-Founder of Rad Security (formerly KSOC). Jimmy explains how Rad Security has replaced signature-based detections with a new concept the company calls “behavioral fingerprints” or “verified runtime fingerprints,” which can detect malicious activity in cloud environments using a wider set of indicators.

This is a sponsored Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast.

Abhishek Agrawal is the CEO and co-founder of Material Security, an email security company that locks down cloud email archives. Attackers have been raiding mailspools since hacking has existed, and with those mailspools now in the cloud with services like o365 and Google Workspace, guess where the attackers are going?

Material built a product that helps you lock up your email data, to archive and redact sensitive information. The idea is to really just limit what an attacker can do with email data if they pop an account.

Abhishek joined me to talk about a few things, like how non phishing resistant MFA is basically dead, how email content is very useful to security programs, and about how the gen AI won’t really change much on the defensive control side.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about how Optus’s 2022 data breach went down and how the company had been vulnerable for years.
