  • What the post-quantum executive order means for CISOs

    What the post-quantum executive order means for CISOs
    Jul 9 2026
    In this week’s episode, Greg speaks with Ellen Boehm, SVP of Strategy and AI Operations at Keyfactor, about what the administration’s post-quantum cryptography executive order means for CISOs and enterprise leaders. Boehm argues that preparing for post-quantum cryptography is not just a technical cryptography challenge, but a leadership and business-risk problem. The conversation covers why compliance deadlines are pushing organizations to act, how CISOs should frame quantum risk for boards and executives, and why cryptographic inventories are a critical first step for any serious migration plan. The discussion also explores how organizations can build cross-functional teams across security, IT, legal, procurement, engineering and product groups; why visibility into cryptographic assets remains so difficult; and how AI, machine identities and crypto agility are converging with the post-quantum transition. Boehm also lays out the key questions enterprises should be asking now as they prepare for deadlines that are quickly moving from future concern to present-day planning reality.

  • How security investigators can get the right info out of AI security tools

    How security investigators can get the right info out of AI security tools
    Jul 2 2026
    This week on Safe Mode, Greg sits down with Dov Yoran, CEO and co-founder of Command Zero, to talk about one of the most persistent problems in enterprise security: the investigation gap. Alert volumes keep climbing, SOC teams are drowning in triage, and the tools meant to help are aggregating data without actually reasoning through it. Dov breaks down how the real bottleneck in security operations comes down to expertise — knowing what questions to ask, where to find the data, and how to build a narrative around it. He explains how Command Zero has codified years of SecOps and incident handling experience into a knowledge base shared by both human analysts and AI agents, creating a structured and fully auditable approach to autonomous investigation, one where every question asked and every conclusion drawn is visible and replayable. The conversation gets into how AI is fundamentally changing the shape of the SOC. The tiered escalation model is giving way to something new, where agents handle the repetitive work of collection, timelining, and report writing and analysts operate more like coordinators than ticket processors. Whether that shift is gradual or sudden, and exactly where the human stays in the loop, is a question Dov and Greg wrestle with. In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Tim Starks about the Supreme Court's decision in Chatrie v. The United States

  • Inside Operation Disruption Week: Taking Down Southeast Asia's Scam Machine

    Inside Operation Disruption Week: Taking Down Southeast Asia's Scam Machine
    Jun 25 2026
    What does it actually take to dismantle an industrial-scale scam operation running bulletproof hosting, distributed ASNs, and crypto laundering across multiple countries? Mike Sweeney of Silent Push was in the room during Operation Disruption Week and tells us exactly how it went down — the intelligence, the coordination, and why this public-private model could be a blueprint for future cyber disruption efforts. Plus, reporter Tim Starks on the open source supply chain crisis: the volunteer maintainers holding up the internet, the threat groups coming after them, and the policy vacuum left behind after the Biden administration's momentum stalled.
