Summary In this episode, the hosts discuss various cybersecurity topics, including recent vulnerabilities in Fortinet products, the implications of supply chain breaches, the evolving role of AI in cybersecurity, and updates to the OWASP Top 10 list. They emphasize the importance of firmware security and the need for better visibility and standards in the industry. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by defenders in a rapidly changing threat landscape and the necessity for proactive measures to secure systems. Takeaways Fortinet vulnerabilities are critical and require immediate attention. Silent patches can lead to significant security risks. AI is being used by both attackers and defenders in cybersecurity. The OWASP Top 10 has been updated to include software supply chain failures. Firmware security is often overlooked but is essential for device safety. Supply chain breaches can have far-reaching implications for organizations. Visibility into firmware and device security is lacking in the industry. Standards for software security are necessary to protect against vulnerabilities. Defenders need better tools to combat evolving threats. The cybersecurity landscape is becoming increasingly complex and interconnected.
