Security Noise

It's a dramatic ending... of Season 8! On this episode of Security Noise, we are talking about the metaphorical soap opera that AI created. Since OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a non-profit AI lab, it has brought on dramatic interactions between its founders, culminating in a lawsuit in which Elon Musk sued cofounders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman over claims that OpenAI has "betrayed" its founding mission. We talk about allllll the drama in this season finale, joined by TrustedSec's Advisory Solutions Director Alex Hamerstone, entertaining the implications of the recent OpenAI trial and the BIG personalities that are shaping AI's future. Who will have control over that future? Investors, non-profits, founders, or giant tech platforms? And what does that mean for the rest of us, beyond Silicon Valley?

AI and automation are giving attackers unprecedented speed and scale — so how do defenders fight back? On this episode of Security Noise, we are joined by Carlos Perez, Director of Security Intelligence at TrustedSec, and John Dwyer, Deputy CTO and Head of ARC Labs at Binary Defense. They sit down with Geoff on Skyler to discuss how AI and automation are fundamentally reshaping the way defenders think, work, and respond. They unpack how machine speed and intelligent tooling are raising the stakes on both sides of the attack surface. From the power and limitations of open source security to the emergence of AI-assisted attack methodologies, this episode challenges defenders to rethink their strategies before adversaries outpace them. What does it takes to stay ahead in an environment where the pace of change is the biggest threat of all?
In this episode:
- How AI is transforming threat hunting and detection engineering
- Why open source security is more critical than ever
- How attackers are already using AI — and what that means for defenders
- What the future of security operations actually looks like

What if learning cybersecurity felt less like a compliance checkbox and more like an adventure? In this episode, Geoff and Skyler sit down with two special guests to explore how gamification is revolutionizing the way people learn about security tactics and concepts. TrustedSec's Senior Security Consultant Travis Kaun drops in to talk about his latest community offering: Dungeons and Daemons, a web-based RPG that simulates a "live" engagement as a Red Teamer. We are also joined by Tim Doerges who is Lead Developer of Backdoors & Breaches at Black Hills InfoSec to talk about how this incident response card game has taken off since its launch and what developments are on the horizon. See demos of these games on YouTube to get a better understanding of why the future of cybersecurity education could be through gamified experiences.

On this episode of Security Noise, Geoff and Skyler are joined by NyxGeek to discuss his suite of Azure bypass techniques that focus on user enumeration (which sometimes border on absurd). Since these techniques leave no trace, what does it mean to the organizations trusting authentication logs? We also discuss Microsoft's response to his findings and Geoff's suspicion that he may be responsible for a couple of table flips over at the MS HQ.
