About this Episode
(Presented by Thinkst Canary: Most Companies find out way too late that they’ve been breached. Thinkst Canary changes this. Deploy Canaries and Canarytokens in minutes and then forget about them. Attackers tip their hand by touching ’em giving you the one alert, when it matters. With zero admin overhead and almost no false-positives, Canaries are deployed (and loved) on all 7 continents.)
Three Buddy Problem - Episode 90: We remember GReAT teammate Sergey Mineev, the legendary malware hunter behind discoveries like Equation Group and Project Sauron (Remsec), including stories about his methods and why he was the best to ever do it.
Plus, another in-the-wild iOS exploit kit discovery and a long overdue conversation about Apple's responsibility to hundreds of millions of users on older iOS versions; the ProPublica Microsoft/FedRAMP bombshell, Interlock ransomware sitting on a Cisco zero-day, the White House AI policy framework, and Supermicro co-founder $2.5 billion AI chip smuggling bust.
Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
