Unauthorized site access remains a significant security concern for organizations. But why does this issue persist, and how can it be effectively addressed?
In this episode, Rob Allen, chief product officer at ThreatLocker, discusses the core functionality of ThreatLocker's Web Control solution: blocking access to unauthorized sites without meddling with DNS servers—a common pitfall among other tools. Rob explains that the simplicity of defining where employees can and cannot access is pivotal. This approach not only helps keep users away from malicious sites but also steers them clear of non-productive ones, thereby enhancing resource allocation. Rob is joined by our panelists, TC Niedzialkowski, Head of IT & Security at Opendoor, and Sasha Pereira, CISO, WASH.

In this episode, Joshua Knox, Principal Cybersecurity Strategist and AI Lab Tech Lead at Horizon3, explains how the company's NodeZero platform runs continuous, autonomous offensive assessments that surface exploitable attack chains and dangerous misconfigurations, not just vulnerabilities, so teams can prioritize and validate fixes on a repeatable basis. Joining him are Jesse Webb, CISO and SVP of Information Systems at Avalon Healthcare Solutions, and Ryan Brown, Director and Head of Cybersecurity Operations at Children's National Hospital.
In this episode, Ashu Savani, co-founder of TryHackMe, explains how the company's Live Breach product puts teams inside fully-executed, realistic breach simulations built around the threat actors and tech stacks they face, building the reflexes and reporting security leaders need before a real incident hits. Joining him are Roland Toussaint, Senior Director of Incident Response and Security Engineering at ChenMed, and Heather Hinton, CISO at Sitecore.
In this episode, Joseph Perla, founder and CEO at TrustedRouter, explains how his company's confidential-computing-based LLM router lets teams send prompts to hundreds of AI models while cryptographically verifying, rather than simply trusting, that no one, including TrustedRouter itself, can see the data passing through. Joining him are TC Niedzialkowski, former head of IT & security at Opendoor, and Keith McCartney, svp of security and IT at DNAnexus.
In this episode, Dean Shroll, senior director of sales engineering at ThreatDown, explains how the company's Nebula and OneView consoles simplify protection across Mac, Linux, and Windows endpoints while its managed detection and response team absorbs the 24/7 monitoring that resource-constrained teams can't staff on their own. Joining him are Jonathan Waldrop, CISO at Acoustic, and Arif Hameed, CISO at C&R Software.
In this episode, Leo Taddeo, CEO and President at AppGate, explains how the company's zero trust network access platform cloaks internet-facing infrastructure from discovery, uses direct-routed architecture instead of cloud-routed hairpinning to avoid the latency tax, and layers in continuous, context-aware policy checks that go beyond device posture and MFA. Joining him are Ross Young, co-host of CISO Tradecraft, and Derek Fisher, Director of the Cyber Defense and Information Assurance Program at Temple University.
