Attackers Have Agents. Do You?

What happens when your security analyst isn't a person? Elad Koren⁠, Vice President of Product Management for Cortex Cloud at ⁠Palo Alto Networks⁠, returns to Threat Vector to pull back the curtain on what an agentic-first security experience actually looks like in practice. This isn't a vision deck. The agents are already running. When Elad joined the show for ⁠Why Proactive Security Can't Wait⁠, he made the case that reactive security can no longer keep up with adversaries who move from initial compromise to data theft in under five hours. This episode picks up where that conversation ended, with host ⁠David Moulton⁠ and Elad discussing the tools built to close that gap.

Ransomware: From Isolated Attacks to Global Criminal Ecosystem

In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo⁠ speaks with Cynthia Kaiser to unpack the progression of ransomware from isolated attacks into a sophisticated global criminal ecosystem. Drawing on her two decades at the FBI and current role at Halcyon, Cynthia explains how cybercrime has scaled through organized networks, improved tactics, and increasing speed, with some attacks now unfolding in under an hour. The conversation explores how law enforcement strategies have shifted from targeting low-level actors to disrupting entire ecosystems, leading to more impactful takedowns. Cynthia also highlights the real-world consequences of ransomware, including its growing impact on critical infrastructure like hospitals and the potential for loss of life. The episode examines how AI is shaping both attacker and defender capabilities, accelerating phishing and access while also enabling stronger defensive responses.
