| 6/19/26 | ![]() Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast - Episode 162 | In this episode of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast, Chris Steffen and Ken Buckler explore a pressing security shift: adversaries are increasingly bypassing traditional credential theft to exploit the AI systems already embedded within corporate environments. The hosts discuss how "agentic" AI solutions often operate with overprivileged non-human identities, granting bots excessive access to data and infrastructure that far exceeds their functional requirements.This resurgence of "standing access" for machine accounts—a vulnerability CISOs thought they had mitigated—is being exacerbated by the rapid, near-universal adoption of AI development tools. Using real-world examples, ranging from inadvertent AI-generated discounts to the complex liability of autonomous vehicles, Chris and Ken illustrate the risks of prompt injection and data poisoning. The episode serves as a critical call to action for security teams: to treat AI agents with the same rigorous identity management and just-in-time provisioning standards historically reserved for human users before these misconfigurations lead to massive data exfiltration. | 13m 59s | ||||||

| 2/6/26 | ![]() Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast - Episode 144 | In this episode of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast, host Chris Steffen and Simon Wijckmans, CEO of C-side, discuss the critical visibility gap in client-side security. While organizations invest heavily in infrastructure and server-side protection, the user's browser remains a largely unmonitored attack vector. Historically, solutions like Content Security Policies and JavaScript agents have proven brittle or easily bypassed by sophisticated scripts that can hide from crawlers or override security hooks.The conversation highlights a major shift driven by PCI DSS 4.0, which now mandates the monitoring and authorization of client-side scripts. Simon explains that modern browser changes regarding third-party cookies finally support more effective proxy-based approaches. This allows security teams to inspect and block malicious third-party scripts before they reach the end user, preventing data exfiltration like credit card skimming. The hosts urge security professionals to move beyond "head in the sand" tactics, emphasizing that robust browser security is now a regulatory and operational necessity for total asset protection. | 16m 36s | ||||||
| 1/30/26 | ![]() Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast - Episode 143 | In this episode of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast, Chris Steffen and Ken Buckler discuss a humorous yet sobering encounter with a failed AI-driven scam. Ken recently received a common "advance fee" investment scam email, but with a unique twist: the attacker accidentally sent the Python source code instead of the intended message. The code contained telltale signs of AI generation, including placeholder instructions like "replace this with the actual import" for the Gemini SDK.The hosts explain that while this specific attacker failed "successfully," the incident provides concrete proof that scammers are using generative AI to replace the broken English of past scams with highly literate, convincing phishing lures. This shift makes it increasingly difficult for users to spot fraud through traditional "tells." Chris emphasizes that manual defense is no longer sufficient against automated bot armies. To stay protected, organizations must integrate AI-driven security tools to match the speed and sophistication of these evolving threats. As Ken notes, the future of these attacks will likely escalate into deepfakes and multimodal social engineering. | 12m 55s | ||||||
| 1/23/26 | ![]() Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast - Episode 142 | In this episode, Chris Steffen and Ken Buckler are joined by Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, to discuss the often-ignored threat of printer and IoT security. Jim reveals a startling set of "winning lottery numbers": printers account for 20% of network endpoints, yet 99% remain unprotected. With 67% of organizations reporting a printer-related security incident last year, these devices serve as a critical yet vulnerable vector for lateral movement and credential harvesting.Jim explains this widespread neglect through his "Five O's," citing the lack of a formal Owner and their Origin as business equipment rather than IT endpoints. Because printers process highly sensitive data and frequently lack unified management platforms, they offer a 360-degree risk landscape for cybercriminals. The conversation emphasizes that "locking the front door" by declaring a dedicated security owner and integrating print fleets into a unified security strategy is essential. Symphion provides a turnkey solution to bridge this visibility gap, ensuring these "graveyard endpoints" are hardened, monitored, and securely managed. | 13m 51s | ||||||
| 1/16/26 | ![]() Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast - Episode 141 | In this episode, Chris Steffen and Ken Buckler discuss the alarming security and privacy implications of the "Internet of All Things." The hosts highlight how manufacturers are connecting everything—from AI-powered treadmills to smart toothbrushes—often without considering the associated risks.A primary concern is the shift toward recurring revenue models, where companies gate-keep hardware features behind monthly subscriptions. Beyond the cost, Ken warns of the physical security threats posed by Bluetooth-enabled appliances. He explains how broadcasting devices can inadvertently signal a resident's presence or daily habits to malicious actors in close proximity.The discussion also addresses the myth of data anonymization, noting that aggregated consumer data is easily de-anonymized and sold to third parties. The hosts conclude that when a device offers "value-add" connectivity, the consumer’s personal data is often the actual product. They urge listeners to adopt a critical mindset regarding the risk-to-benefit ratio of every connected device they bring into their homes. | 13m 02s | ||||||
