On this week’s show Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by former US Cyber Command executive director turned PwC’s Cyber, Data & Technology Risk leader Morgan Adamski to talk through the week’s news, including:

  • More tech guys penned more open letters and AI will destroy us all!
  • Another Wednesday, another congregation of OpenAI agents on wikis… yawn
  • OpenAI agents were behind the headscratching RubyGems hacking campaign in May
  • The FBI will disrupt more adversary operations, NSA is creating more mission centres, lawmakers want sanctions on hackers-for-hire… * Release more hounds!
  • So many platforms, so many bugs, so many patches breaking other stuff
  • Much, much more…

This week’s show is brought to you by Airlock Digital. Its co-founders Daniel Schell and David Cottingham join Patrick to talk about how Airlock has integrated itself with Crowdstrike via its Falcon Foundry platform.
