Managing a cyber crisis extends far beyond the initial breach, tossing leadership into a chaotic fog where security teams, legal counsels, and executives must make high-stakes choices under extreme duress. When a catastrophic security event occurs, organizations struggle against a predictable set of systemic, technical, and operational roadblocks. How can organizations transition from a reactive state to a controlled recovery, successful crisis management state? Mone' Ross, Vice President, Cyber Operations at JPMorganChase, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss Cyber Resilience and the leadership behaviors that determine what happens under pressure. Mone' will discuss why preparation and communication are imperative to a successful response. She has also identified the five Crisis Archetypes and how each type should or should not lead during a crisis.

AI-enabled cyber attackers will check every third-party path into an application at scale and speed. The same process can help defenders just as much, but it’s only as effective as the human expertise guiding it. Andrew Wesie, Xint co-founder and CTO. explains how human engineering in harness construction is the determining factor between real, autonomous exploit discovery and validation versus a machine that just generates more noise.

Interview - Danielle Russell - The Attack Surface Changed: Who Reassesses Risk After the Approval? The attack surface now changes faster than any team can reassess it, as employees add integrations, grants, and agents to apps long after they were approved. Danielle Russell, VP of Product at Nudge Security, explains what continuous reassessment looks like in practice: which changes deserve a response, which work agentic AI can take on, and where analysts still make the call. She also makes the case that security still owns the risk after approval, even when it never saw the change that created it.

Topic Segment - Coordinated Disclosure An AI-found PHP flaw sat unfixed since 2024, a PoC video leaked, and a vendor broke the embargo early, citing active exploits. Coordinated disclosure in 2026 is: 75% - Too slow for AI world 13% - Vendor Credit Race 13% - This is fine ????????️???? 0% - Working as designed 0% - Other (tell me) Mike's thoughts: Only a few folks think coordinated disclosure is working as designed, based on last week’s vibe check. Everyone else lands somewhere between "too slow" and the dog sitting in the burning room. I think the old disclosure window was built for a world where a human found the bug, a human wrote the fix, and disclosed it responsibly (most of the time). Now AI finds flaws faster than vendors can ship patches, so any kind of embargo stops being a grace period. It becomes a head start for whoever else found the same bug. I don't think shorter deadlines fix this. The fix side has to get as fast as the find side, which is actually the hardest part of the puzzle to solve in cyber.

As the prevalence of AI continues to grow, more and more people are worried about their online safety. New scams seem to be popping up every day, packaged in creative and terrifying ways. How do you protect yourself? Frank Riccardi, Author of CTRL+ALT+PWN: The Hacker’s Playbook (And How to Beat It), joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why it’s not the technology that PWNs you, it’s the trickery. Rather than resign yourself to an inevitable fate or remove yourself from the online world entirely, learn the tricks of the trade to avoid being just another pwned noob. Frank exposes the secret weapons, sneaky tactics, and psychological tricks used by hackers today—and discusses how to stop them.

Following the catalog of CVEs is great for enumeration, but chasing those CVEs for patching is terrible for strategy. Jeremiah Grossman shows what breach data tells us about the differences between having over 400,000 CVEs, a few thousand KEVs, and a few hundred ways that attackers compromise orgs. We go into the importance of distinguishing vulns from exploits and where we see agents making a meaningful impact. Then we touch on some history of appsec and why the trajectory of vulns like SQL injection and XSS, along with well-known security controls, point to a more secure future -- or even possibly a pretty secure present.
