Nexus: A Claroty Podcast

Ben Gardiner, senior cybersecurity research engineer for the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA), joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss research he published on a silent patch released by vendor Bendix addressing serious cybersecurity vulnerabilities in brake controllers found on tractor trailers. The vulnerabilities—which were updated as part of a safety recall—posed safety risks to drivers and others on the road. 
Ben explains how and why he chose to reverse-engineer the safety recall and how the vulnerabilities impact the security of any trailer-connected telematics devices, and also how they could be exploited at close range.

Remedio cofounder and Chief Executive Officer Tal Kollender joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss the challenges and security gaps enterprises and critical infrastructure organizations face with insecure configurations and other risky exposures. As AI and advanced attackers accelerate the speed at which exposures are uncovered and exploited, organizations are beginning to consider automated remediation.

Check Point Head of Agentic Security Innovation Shahar Tal joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss research he and colleague Yarden Porat conducted that uncovered a dozen vulnerabilities in popular AI agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Microsoft Agent Framework, and Google ADK. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker to exploit the inherent trust given to AI agents and can pave the way to remote code execution and other malicious outcomes.

Ellen Boehm, Senior Vice President Strategy and AI Innovation at Keyfactor, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness in critical infrastructure organizations. A recent Executive Order on PQC installed a December 2030 deadline for federal agencies to transition high-value systems and key generation to PQC. The EO also directs CISA, other federal sector risk management agencies to assist with road map development. 
In this episode, Ellen discusses readiness in this context. She also delves into how critical infrastructure organizations overseeing fleets of cyber-physical systems (CPS) assets transition those environments and avoid disruptions. Governance, budgeting, supply chain management, and the AI-driven threat landscape are also discussed. 
This episode was recorded during the Black Hat USA Conference.

John Laliberte, CEO of ClearVector, joins the Nexus Podcast in an episode recorded at Black Hat 2026 in Las Vegas. Laliberte discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the creation of so-called non-human identities, including autonomous identities created by AI agents. 
Laliberte covers the risks and controls that enterprises and critical infrastructure organizations must consider as AI adoption accelerates everywhere.
