Ep. 82 – Security Tools Are Failing: Lessons from the 2025 Microsoft Vulnerability Report

BeyondTrust's 2025 Microsoft Vulnerability Report dropped—and it’s a wake-up call. With 1,360 new vulnerabilities and elevation of privilege attacks dominating the landscape, even insurance companies are backing away from covering privileged service accounts. In this special episode, cybersecurity veterans James Maude, Paula Januszkiewicz, Sami Laiho, Kip Boyle, and Charles Henderson dig into what the data from the 2025 report really means. Forget the fearmongering—this is about clear-headed, field-tested advice. You’ll hear why flashy security tools often sit unused, how simple controls could prevent 60% of attacks, and why "secure by default" still hasn’t delivered. From AI-driven vulnerability discovery to cloud missteps that could sink your stack, this isn’t your usual “patch faster” sermon—it’s a blueprint for getting real results. If you’re overwhelmed by alerts, underwhelmed by your security stack, or just tired of doing more with less, this episode is your lifeline.
