The Hidden Risks of the AI Supply Chain - Black Hat interview with Michael Leland, VP and Field CTO of Island
Agents can independently discover and install tools, but the emerging ecosystem of Skills and MCP servers lacks many of the trust and security controls applied to traditional software. Michael Leland discusses Island's research uncovering thousands of malicious repositories, widespread security flaws across MCP servers, and a new attack technique called “AgentBaiting,” in which attackers manipulate agents into finding and recommending malware to users. The conversation explains how enterprises can govern AI capabilities without slowing adoption.

After Mythos: Securing Frontier AI as Attack and Defense Accelerate - Black Hat interview with Sean Murphy, Field CISO - North America of F5
Frontier AI is compressing the time between discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, forcing enterprises to rethink how they secure modern applications and AI systems. Sean Murphy shares how security teams can prepare for the next generation of AI-powered threats, why known vulnerabilities may become a bigger risk than zero-days, and what it takes to secure AI at scale from shadow AI and governance to agent and API protection.

The Perfect Storm: When AI Writes the Code and Sharpens the Attacks - Black Hat interview with Idan Plotnik, Co-Founder and CEO of Apiiro
Two storms are converging on how software gets built. The first: AI coding assistants are generating far more code than any security team can review, and with it, far more risk. The second: AI is sharpening the tools attackers use to find and exploit weaknesses faster than ever. Idan Plotnik explains why this convergence has moved the security perimeter to the coding agent itself, and makes the case for a prevention-first model where an AI AppSec agent guards coding agents in real time, governed by the principle that the agent writing the code cannot be the one to secure it.

Model, Harness, Gym: Why Novee Owns the Full AI Pentesting Stack - Black Hat interview with Ido Geffen, Founder & CEO of Novee Security
Most AI security tools are thin wrappers around a general-purpose frontier LLM — reasoning capability rented from someone else, applied to a generic scanning workflow. In this interview, Ido Geffen breaks down what it means to own the full AI pentesting stack — the proprietary offensive reasoning model, the harness that coordinates specialized agents, and the training gym where those agents are continuously benchmarked, post-trained on real attacker tradecraft, and promoted into production.
Ido explains why owning each layer matters: it's how Novee's model consistently outperforms frontier LLMs at live browser exploitation, how the platform improves at a rate the customer feels every cycle, how Novee keeps security testing cost-efficient rather than relying on tokenized pricing models, and how new attacker techniques get injected into agent memory the moment Novee's research team observes them in the wild. He then makes the case that owning the model is only half the story. The other half is the Asset Intelligence Model — a living understanding of each customer's environment, workflows, permissions, APIs, and business logic. That's what turns a generalist AI hacker into a bespoke one: not just an attacker that reasons well, but one that reasons well about your specific business. He closes with how this advantage leads to findings that get more targeted every cycle, remediation tailored to an organization's tech stack, and a platform whose ceiling rises as attackers get faster.

Interview - Amit Assaraf
As employees rapidly adopt local AI models, autonomous agents, and browser extensions to boost productivity, enterprise endpoints are quietly accumulating unchecked security risks. This episode explores how traditional EDR solutions miss non-binary software, leaving critical blind spots for prompt injection and data exfiltration. Discover how Cortex Agentic Endpoint Security (AES) uses LLM-based classifiers and an AI powered risk engine to surface shadow AI and protect the modern workspace without stalling innovation.

Topic - The British Library Cyber-Attack
For this week’s topic segment, we’re discussing the British Library cyber-attack.
In October 2023, the British Library, one of the largest libraries in the world, was breached by the Rhysida ransomware group. The attack encrypted systems across the organization, led to over 500,000 files being leaked, and set off a recovery effort that consumed a significant portion of the Library’s £17.5 million cash reserves. With no clear end date, this is a story of what could happen when all of an organization’s tech debt comes due at once.

Wire fraud, identity spoofing, and PII exposure now top the list of operational risks for private capital. In a world of ongoing fraud risk, fiduciary responsibility doesn’t end with sound investment decisions — it must extend to operational best practices that protect every capital event. But how?
Todd Sorrel, CEO & Co-Founder at 6lock, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how ever evolving AI attacks are increasing the chances of wire fraud. From voice cloning to deep fakes to impersonation, trust-based, high-touch controls for money transfer processes are inadequate. Todd will share how Zero Trust and verify principles are the only way to defend against these sophisticated wire fraud attacks.

The Shift to Machine-Led Security: What's Next for Cyber Defense - Black Hat interview with Galina Antova, CEO and Co-Founder of Kai
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing cybersecurity- not only by making attacks faster and more sophisticated, but also by forcing defenders to rethink how security operations are built. In this conversation, Kai CEO and co-founder Galina Antova discusses why the industry is moving toward machine-led security, what is preventing organizations from trusting autonomous AI, and what recent survey data from hundreds of CISOs reveals about where cybersecurity is headed next.
