Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

AI is everywhere in cybersecurity. For partners, the real question is not about the technology. It is about your people. Is AI replacing analysts, or making them more effective? In this session, we break down the differences between automation and augmentation and why they matter for MSPs delivering security services. Automation removes repetitive SOC work such as triage, enrichment, and basic containment. Augmentation strengthens human experts with faster investigation, clearer attack mapping, and smarter response decisions.

This week on the podcast, we cover the cyber attack that managed to wipe more than 200,000 resources off of the medical technology giant Syryker's network. After that, we review a research post on a good chrome extension gone bad. We end by discussing a recent Microsoft threat intelligence post on how North Korean-backed threat actors have operationalize AI for job scams.

This week on the podcast, we chat about an OpenClaw bot that moved beyond vulnerability research and into malicious activity. Before that, we cover an AI-discovered vulnerability in the pac4j-jwt authentication library before ending with a discussion on an upcoming California law designed to help make age verification in the digital age easier, but with massive consequences.

Many MSPs rely on Microsoft Defender as a starting point for protecting customer environments. It’s built in, familiar, and good at generating alerts. But modern attacks don’t stop when an alert appears. They often use stolen credentials, legitimate tools, and cloud access to move quickly after detection. In this session, WatchGuard’s Worldwide MDR Channel Sales Manager Jen Rose will look at how attacks unfold in Microsoft Defender environments and why detection alone leaves gaps for MSPs and their customers.

This week, Marc and Corey break down a recently disclosed and patched 0-Day vulnerability in Cisco’s Catalyst SD-WAN Controller that was actively exploited for three years.
