Zero days, zero order: The chaos reshaping vulnerability disclosure
The rules of responsible disclosure were written for a different era — one where humans found bugs, humans reported them, and 90 days felt like plenty of time to patch. That era is over. In this episode, Greg sits down with Gal Elbaz, co-founder and CTO of Oligo Security, to unpack how AI-assisted vulnerability research is breaking the frameworks the security industry has relied on for decades. From MITRE admitting it can no longer keep up with the volume of CVE reports, to Linus Torvalds saying the same about the Linux kernel, the cracks in the system are impossible to ignore. Gal draws on his years as a hands-on researcher at Check Point — and his current work leading Oligo's research team — to offer perspective from both sides of the disclosure table. He and Greg dig into the Microsoft controversy, the tension between researcher leverage and community responsibility, and why the Spider-Man rule applies more than ever to the security research community right now. They also tackle the big questions: Should disclosure timelines be based on exploitability rather than a fixed number of days? Who owns the decision to accelerate a disclosure? And is it time to throw out CVSS scores and build something new? Gal's bottom line: the noise needs to be cut, the critical bugs need better definition, and both vendors and researchers need to get back to the table — as humans. For our reporter chat, Greg talked with Derek Johnson about the reaction to the Trump administration's fight with Anthropic.

Why the autonomous SOC Is the wrong goal
On this week's episode, we're joined by Mike Nichols, General Manager of Security at Elastic, fresh off the Gartner Security and Risk Summit in the D.C. area, where AI dominated every conversation on the conference floor. Mike walks us through what CISOs are actually asking about, what a real agentic SOC looks like in practice, and why keeping humans on the loop is the key philosophical distinction that separates a thoughtful AI implementation from a reckless one. The conversation covers "tribal knowledge," shadow AI, prompt injection, model sovereignty, and the exploding attack surface that AI agents themselves create, with Mike making the case that AI adoption is a dial and not a switch, and that transparency, explainability, and a healthy dose of skepticism are the foundation of building trust that actually sticks.

The last layer standing
What happens when an "assume breach" scenario turns into a total corporate wipeout? In this episode of Safe Mode, host Greg welcomes Brandon Willitts, Director of Cyber Resilience at Everpure, to pull back the curtain on a devastating "malwareless" attack that deleted over 80,000 endpoints at a Fortune 100 company. When adversaries exploit valid credentials to compromise the entire identity plane, your own endpoint management tools can be weaponized against you. Brandon breaks down how separating the storage layer from the identity blast radius—and leveraging immutable snapshot technology—allowed a non-technical engineer to jumpstart a full recovery in just days rather than months. In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Derek Johnson about all the AI security news that has happened over the past week.
