Threatopia

This episode cuts across the most important trends security leaders are facing right now: zero-days hitting edge devices and mobile management platforms, nation-state campaigns targeting defense supply chains, AI being weaponized for both reconnaissance and manipulation, and a resurgence of old-school tactics like brute-forced Linux servers and browser extension abuse.

From BYOVD attacks bypassing Windows defenses, to Ivanti zero-day exploitation across European governments, to AI-driven phishing and deepfake social engineering, the big story here is clear — attackers are blending advanced techniques with simple human manipulation faster than defenders are adapting.
