Ransomware is evolving well beyond locking systems, and agentic AI is introducing a category of security risk most organizations are not yet equipped to handle. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Behnaz Karimi, Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at Accenture and independent ransomware researcher, walks through what that shift actually looks like. The full conversation includes.

In this week's Intel Chat, Chris Luft and Matt Bromiley discuss how the same AI capabilities fueling adversaries are available to defenders too. Matt's takeaway: you don't need to buy an AI product to keep pace. The same way an attacker points AI at a code base, defenders can point it at detection rules and telemetry. Chris adds that as more developers use these models to check their own code, the playing field will level out, though the next year or two will likely bring a spike in exploits from lower-skilled attackers leveraging AI before defenses catch up.

Today we're speaking with Behnaz Karimi, an independent researcher specializing in ransomware and agentic AI systems, Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at Accenture, and founder of Tremorina, about how ransomware is evolving to target AI systems, machine learning pipelines, and autonomous agents.

MSSPs handle hundreds of repetitive approval requests every week. In this clip, LimaCharlie founder Maxime Lamothe-Brassard walks through a real example: a service provider with 5,000 customers processing 100 ThreatLocker allow-list requests weekly at roughly $14 per request.

It is almost impossible to trust the source of an image or video anymore. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Tamas Kadar, CEO and Co-Founder of SEON, explains how generative AI has reshaped what fraudsters can pull off. Setting up sophisticated fraud operations no longer requires coding skills, and synthetic identities and deepfake documents have become convincing enough that visual verification alone is no longer reliable.
