Segment 3: Two interviews from Oktane 2025 Interview with Connor Mulherin of TechSoup The cybersecurity landscape in the nonprofit sector is evolving quickly, with organizations facing unique challenges due to limited resources, sensitive mission-driven work, and developing policies and training programs. Connor Mulherin, Director and GM of Validation Services at TechSoup, will discuss the industry's need for accessible and collaborative solutions to provide affordable technology leadership and security guidance. It will highlight how nonprofit organizations can build long-term digital resilience and combat these growing challenges. Segment Resources: www.techsoup.org Tech Impact Launch CTO Program For Small NPOs Virtual Chief Technology Officer Program for the Nonprofit Sector Interview with Mike Poole, Director of Cyber Security at Werner Enterprises In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity is not just a technical issue—it’s a business imperative. Organizations that prioritize cybersecurity culture see fewer incidents and stronger resilience against evolving threats. But how do you foster a security-first mindset across an organization? This session will explore the critical components of building and maintaining a robust cybersecurity culture, starting with executive leadership buy-in—a fundamental step in securing resources and driving organizational change. We’ll then dive into the power of monthly phishing exercises, which reinforce awareness and preparedness. Attendees will also learn how to develop effective training programs that engage employees at all levels and create lasting behavioral change. Finally, we’ll discuss the role of cybersecurity-themed events, particularly during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, as a powerful tool to capture attention and reinforce key security principles.

As the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report has stated year after year, most breaches start with human error. We've invested a lot in Security Awareness and Training and Phishing solutions, but yet human error is still the top risk. How do we actually reduce human risk? Rinki Sethi, CSO at Upwind Security, and Nicole Jiang, CEO of Fable Security, share why human risk management is the next frontier for security—and how platforms like Fable Security deliver personalized nudges that help employees build safer habits and stay ahead of threats. Solving human risk starts by changing human behavior. Learn how advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the application of adtech principles (targeted, personalized, A/B-tested messages delivered when they’re most relevant) are delivering faster, more effective behavior change that lasts.

Ransomware attacks typically don't care about memory safety and dependency scanning, they often target old, unpatched vulns and too often they succeed. Rob Allen shares some of the biggest cases he's seen, what they have in common, and what appsec teams could do better to help them. Too much software still requires custom configuration to make it more secure. And too few software makers are embracing secure by default, let alone secure by design.

Segment 1: David Brauchler on AI attacks and stopping them David Brauchler says AI red teaming has proven that eliminating prompt injection is a lost cause. And many developers inadvertently introduce serious threat vectors into their applications – risks they must later eliminate before they become ingrained across application stacks. NCC Group’s AI security team has surveyed dozens of AI applications, exploited their most common risks, and discovered a set of practical architectural patterns and input validation strategies that completely mitigate natural language injection attacks. David's talk aimed at helping security pros and developers understand how to design/test complex agentic systems and how to model trust flows in agentic environments. He also provided information about what architectural decisions can mitigate prompt injection and other model manipulation risks, even when AI systems are exposed to untrusted sources of data.

Interest and participation in the OWASP GenAI Security Project has exploded over the last two years. Steve Wilson explains why it was important for the project to grow beyond just a Top Ten list and address more audiences than just developers. He also talks about how the growth of AI Agents influences the areas that appsec teams need to focus on. Whether apps are created by genAI or directly use genAI, the future of securing software is going to be busy.

Segment 1 - Interview with Dr. Anand Singh We're always thrilled to have authors join us to discuss their new book releases, and this week, it is Dr. Anand Singh. He seriously hustled to get his new book, Data Security in the Age of AI, out as soon as possible so that it could help folks dealing with securing AI rollouts right now! We'll discuss why he wrote it, how he got it done so quickly, and who needs to read it. Segment Resources: Get the book on Amazon: Data Security in the Age of AI (available in Kindle and print) Segment 2 - Topic: The reasons why CISOs buy (and the things that don't matter to them) Val Tsanev, founder of ExecWeb, part of the CyberRisk Alliance family, posted shared some VERY spicy insights about how CISOs buy products. This elicited some passionate responses. There are many interesting insights, but the biggest and most interesting is that 76% of CISOs choose products that presents the least risk to them, personally. Career safety trumps product performance, it would seem.

Global spending on cybersecurity products and services will see a strong 14.4% CAGR from 2024 through 2029 and will hit $302.5 billion in 2029, driven by continued concerns around cyberattacks across all verticals and geographies. But where is the spending occuring and how do you prepare? Merritt Maxim, VP & Research Director at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the Global Cybersecurity Market Forecast, 2024 To 2029 report. Merritt will discuss the findings, including: In 2029, 69% of cybersecurity spending will be on software across seven prime functional disciplines of cybersecurity (applications, cloud, data, endpoint, network, identity, and security operations); the remaining spending will be allocated to security services, excluding security outsourcing, implementation, and deployment services; and AI software spending will grow at a CAGR of 21.2%, from $74.3 billion in 2024 to $194.3 billion by 2029.

Software has forever had flaws and humans have forever been finding and fixing them. With LLMs generating code, appsec has also been trying to determine how well LLMs can find flaws. Nico Waisman talks about XBOW's LLM-based pentesting, how it climbed a bug bounty leaderboard, how it uses feedback loops for better pentests, and how they handle (and even welcome!) hallucinations.

At Oktane 2025, leaders from across the security ecosystem shared how identity has become the new front line in protecting today’s AI-driven enterprises. As SaaS adoption accelerates and AI agents proliferate, organizations face an explosion of human and non-human identities—and with it, growing risks like misconfigured access, orphaned accounts, and identity-based attacks. In this special Enterprise Security Weekly episode, we bring together insights from top experts: Dor Fledel (Okta) explains how teams can gain visibility into AI agents, uncover risks, and enforce appropriate access controls. Alexander Makarov (Adyen) shares how a global fintech unified and streamlined identity with Okta, improving both security and employee experience across 200+ countries. Aaron Parecki (Okta) highlights the importance of open standards—like IPSIE, MCP, and A2A—for building secure, interoperable AI ecosystems and centralized control over AI-driven interactions. Heather Ceylan (Box) discusses how Box embeds AI into workflows to enhance data protection, even for highly regulated industries. Matt Immler (Okta) offers lessons from the field on strengthening defenses with behavioral monitoring, automation, and a security-first culture to counter attackers who now “log in” instead of hacking in. Nitin Raina (Thoughtworks) warns about AI-driven social engineering—from deepfakes to multi-channel phishing—and shares practical strategies like phishing-resistant MFA, zero-trust architecture, and better employee training. From open standards to privileged access management and AI-powered defense, these Oktane 2025 conversations explore how identity-driven strategies are shaping the future of enterprise security.
