In this edition of the Snake Oilers podcasts, three vendors pop in to pitch you all on their wares:

• Automated, AI-powered threat hunting with Nebulock

Damien Lewke from Nebulock joins the show to talk about how its agentic AI platform can surface attacker activity out of all those “low” and “informational” findings your detection team doesn’t have time to look at.

• Runtime security for hypervisors from Vali Cyber

Austin Gadient from Vali Cyber stops by to talk about ZeroLock, its hypervisor security product. It’s marketed as a counter-ransomware control but is just a generally useful security platform for virtualised environments.

• A secure mobile telco: Cape

The only thing American cell providers love more than providing patchy coverage is getting their customers’ data owned. Cape is here to change that. It’s a security and anonymity-focussed virtual mobile network operator (MVNO) that’s been spun up by a highly competent team. If we lived in the USA we would be customers, and a bunch of CISOs listening to this might want to consider Cape subscriptions for their workforce.
