In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with cybersecurity veteran Sharad Rai to explore how IT and OT security teams can reduce complexity, fight alert fatigue, and build stronger defenses through foundational practices and intelligent automation. Sharad brings decades of real-world experience - from early firewall management to leading large-scale security programs at major financial institutions. Together, Aaron and Sharad break down what actually works in cybersecurity today: simplifying policies, understanding user behavior, strengthening basics like patching, and leveraging AI for contextual decision-making. You’ll learn: Why human behavior is the root of both risk and resilience How AI can reduce complexity, noise, and alert fatigue What “good vs bad” looks like through an AI-driven, context-aware lens How policy overload cripples organizations - and how to fix it Why OT and IT security still depend on foundational hygiene The rise of browser-based security and Chrome as an endpoint What’s coming next: AI-driven phishing, contextual controls, and automated response Whether you're a security leader, practitioner, or just navigating modern cyber challenges, this episode will reshape how you think about defending systems and the people using them. Tune in to discover how AI, clarity, and human-centered design are shaping cybersecurity’s next chapter only on Protect It All.

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: The Asymmetric Advantage: How Cybersecurity Can Outpace AdversariesPub date: 2025-12-04Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin sits down with RunSafe Founder and CEO Joseph M. Saunders to explore why the future of cyber defense depends on disrupting attacker economics rather than racing to keep up with every new threat. Joe breaks down how organizations can gain an asymmetric advantage by reducing exploitability across entire classes of vulnerabilities, especially persistent memory safety flaws that continue to expose critical systems. He shares why adding lightweight, automated protections at build time is one of the fastest ways to shift the cost curve onto attackers without forcing massive code rewrites or slowing development teams down. Together, Paul and Joe discuss: Why attackers’ resource advantage requires a new defensive mindsetThe power of “patchless” protection in embedded and OT environmentsWhy memory safety flaws persist and how to neutralize them at scaleThe risks of AI-generated code and how to prevent silent vulnerabilitiesHow Secure by Design practices improve resilience for critical infrastructure If you're responsible for securing embedded systems, OT assets, or long-lived devices where patch cycles are slow and risk is high, this episode offers a new mindset that gives defenders the upper hand.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
