In Episode 10, we take an in-depth look at the latest report from cybersecurity researcher Francis Odum, uncovering the key insights behind the numbers. We discuss:

• How third-party and credential-based risks are evolving
• What the report reveals about attacker tactics and system intrusion trends
• The growing risk surface of browsers and unmanaged endpoints
• What infosec leaders should take away—and act on—based on the data

This is a technical, first-person exploration of breach dynamics, informed by real-world telemetry and sharp analysis. If you’re a practitioner navigating complex environments, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we unpack the key insights from our recent LayerX webinar featuring Alex Pinto, lead author of the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). Alongside Or Eshed, our CEO, we explore the changing risk landscape—from credential abuse and third-party risk to AI misuse and browser-native threats.

Key themes:

• What the doubling of third-party breaches reveals about today’s interconnected environments
• Why unmanaged devices and browser cookies still sabotage identity protection
• The real AI risk: unsanctioned employee usage, not just attackers with LLMs
• How the browser became ground zero for modern security battles

Are you aware of the hidden risks lurking in your organization’s browser extensions? Nearly every enterprise user has at least one extension installed—and over half of those extensions request powerful permissions that can expose cookies, passwords, and sensitive data. In this video, we introduce ExtensionPedia, LayerX’s free, publicly available Browser Extension Risk Database and Knowledge Center.

🔍 What You’ll Learn
• Why browser extensions are a growing attack vector for CISOs and InfoSec teams
• How ExtensionPedia aggregates risk scores for 200,000+ Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions
• The key permission scopes and reputation factors used to calculate each extension’s risk
• Practical steps to research any extension by name or ID before deployment
• How to leverage in-depth documentation, best practices, and threat advisories to safeguard your users

📈 Why It Matters
• 99% of enterprise employees have at least one browser extension installed
• Over 50% of those extensions request high-level permissions that can access critical data
• ExtensionPedia empowers security leaders to make data-driven decisions and eliminate blind spots at the browser level
