This Soap Box edition of the podcast is sponsored by Proofpoint.

Proofpoint offers email security and DLP products and services, and they’re probably best known for being the biggest email security company on the planet.

That means they process a LOT of emails in the hopes of throttling the number of malicious emails that organisations have to deal with, whether that’s malware, phishing or BEC.

So, with that in mind, what role could large language models play in email security?

Now that the initial ChatGPT hype has died off a little, we spoke with Proofpoint’s VP of cybersecurity strategy Ryan Kalember about large language models and how they’re going to help defenders and attackers alike.

In this edition of the Soap Box podcast we’re going to be talking about a great topic – living off the land.

The recent Volt Typhoon report out of Microsoft chronicled the adventures of a Chinese APT crew in US critical infrastructure. But one of the most fascinating aspects of the Volt Typhoon campaign was that the attackers almost exclusively used so-called living off the land techniques.

So the question becomes – what can you do about an attacker in your environment who has privilege and isn’t using malware?

Guests David Cottingham and Daniel Schell, the CEO and CTO of Airlock Digital, join the show to talk it through.
