There are two types of companies: those who have been compromised and those who will be. Mid and small businesses are walking into this reality without understanding what AI has changed. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, David Chernitzky, CEO and co-founder of Armour Cybersecurity, explains why the gap between how large organizations understand AI-driven threats and how smaller ones do is widening fast.

Today David Chernitzky, Co-Founder and CEO of Armour Cybersecurity, breaks down the challenges small and mid-sized businesses face in the new blink-and-you-miss-it cybersecurity landscape. Don't be left behind and open yourself to AI-driven attacks from threat actors.

Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad argues that when it comes to AI in the SOC, alert prioritization, anomaly detection, and SOC efficiency are where the real value is. The rest is mostly noise. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, the cybersecurity strategist and three-time author draws a clear line between where AI delivers and where the industry has oversold it. Full autonomous SOCs, perfect attack prediction, and replacing human analysts all fall on the hype side. AI narrows focus and accelerates decisions, but the final call still belongs to humans.

In this hands-on workshop we will analyze an unknown binary, quickly extract indicators, and determine the binary’s core functionality. We'll give Claude the LCRE (LimaCharlie Reverse Engineering) tool to accelerate analysis and interpretation by identifying configuration details, key behaviors, and any additional indicators useful for rule building. We'll use this information to craft detection rules for this sample.

Security operators often struggle with the escalating friction that naturally occurs in their detection and response (D&R) workflow. Detections fire in one tool. Investigations happen in another. Case tracking lives in a third. For MSSPs managing dozens of client environments, fragmentation compounds quickly. Analyst time bleeds into context-switching. SLAs are hard to track. When something goes wrong, reconstructing what happened across multiple platforms is painful.
