The Great De-Anonymization: How Mandatory ID Laws Are Closing the Open Internet
2026/1/04 | 40 mins.
From Australia’s implementation of search engine ID checks to Virginia’s biometric age gates, a synchronized global legislative wave is transforming the web into a permission-based surveillance system. We investigate how these "child safety" mandates are necessitating permanent identity databases that effectively eliminate anonymous speech, as seen in Victoria's crackdown on "hate speech" and the EU's "trusted flagger" hierarchy. Finally, we explore the escalating diplomatic crisis as U.S. lawmakers threaten to compel testimony from foreign regulators accused of enforcing a "global censorship regime" on American platforms. www.compliancehub.wiki/briefing-on-global-digital-regulation-and-surveillance-trends Sponsor: www.compliancehub.wiki

Breached 2025: AI, Insiders, and the Supply Chain Crisis
2026/1/03 | 42 mins.
With global cybercrime costs projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, this episode unpacks the surge in ransomware and data breaches targeting critical sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and water systems. We explore how "enterprising adversaries" are weaponizing generative AI for deepfakes and vishing while exploiting third-party supply chains to compromise major entities like 700Credit and Snowflake. Finally, we analyze the critical "human element" of cybersecurity, from the infiltration of North Korean IT workers to the bribing of insiders, revealing why identity protection has become the new perimeter. www.breached.company/briefing-2025-cybersecurity-threat-landscape-and-incident-analysis Micro Tools: https://finemydata.com https://databreachcostcalculator.com Sponsors: www.breached.company www.cisomarketplace.com

The 2026 Cyber Imperative: Agentic AI, Regulatory Cliffs, and the Rise of Preemptive Defense
2026/1/02 | 13 mins.
As the global cybersecurity market approaches $300 billion, organizations are shifting from reactive measures to a "preemptive" posture to combat the rise of autonomous AI agents and "harvest now, decrypt later" quantum threats. We explore how the "CISO 3.0" must navigate a massive 4.8 million-person talent shortage by adopting cybersecurity mesh architectures and platform consolidation while managing a complex "compliance cliff" that includes the EU AI Act, DORA, and strict new SEC enforcement priorities. This episode analyzes the critical pivot toward identity-centric security and AI governance required to survive an era where machines battle machines and trust is the new perimeter. www.securitycareers.help/2026-cybersecurity-landscape-a-briefing-on-key-trends-threats-and-regulatory-imperatives Sponsor: www.cisomarketplace.com

The Human Battlefield: Hacking the Mind
2026/1/01 | 33 mins.
This series explores how emerging technologies—from Artificial Intelligence to biotechnology—are acting as "force multipliers" to transform the human brain itself into a contested battlefield. We examine NATO's strategic framework for "Cognitive Superiority," detailing how adversaries exploit the "OODA loop" to disrupt decision-making and how nations can build resilience against these invisible threats. Moving beyond traditional propaganda, we reveal how this continuous "gray zone" warfare targets not just military forces, but the trust and social contracts of entire democratic societies. https://www.myprivacy.blog/the-silent-war-psychological-operations-from-the-kgb-to-tiktok https://www.compliancehub.wiki/the-white-house-influencer-pipeline-how-the-biden-administration-revolutionized-government-communications-through-social-media www.myprivacy.blog/cognitive-warfare-a-synthesis-of-natos-strategic-assessment-and-research-initiatives Sponsors: www.cisomarketplace.com www.cisomarketplace.services www.securitybydesign.shop -> 15% off Merch

The 2026 Cyber Horizon: Agentic AI, Identity, and the Shift to Preemptive Defense
2025/12/31 | 32 mins.
As the cybersecurity landscape transitions from reactive detection to automated preemption, this series explores how the rise of "Agentic AI" and autonomous threats are forcing organizations to radically modernize their security stacks. We dive deep into the essential governance strategies for the year ahead, including the adoption of the new NIST SP 800-63-4 digital identity guidelines and the necessity of moving toward phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication. Join us to discover how CISOs are optimizing budgets to combat deepfakes and supply chain risks while preparing for a regulatory environment that demands continuous, demonstrable compliance.
