Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In this episode of The Connectivity Cloud Podcast with Cloudflare, host Mark Dembo is joined by Olivier Busolini, Group Head of Information Security at Mashreq, to explore how cybersecurity leadership has transformed from a purely technical function to a strategic business partnership.

First, we look back at Microsoft’s major shift to remove endpoint protection from the Windows kernel. When we first covered it, it was a proposed change—now it's happening, and the implications are big. Next, we revisit a segment on GPT-4o and how generative AI is fueling the next wave of social engineering attacks. It's smarter, faster, and more convincing than ever. And finally, a refresher on the arrest of a Scattered Spider leader. While that made headlines, the group's activity hasn’t slowed down, they're still very much on the radar, as we discussed just last week.
