Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio)

The overwhelming majority of people, across the full span of their professional lives, operate without formal authority over the domains in which they work (i.e., leadership). Yet followership has almost no sustained literature, no targeted development, and no rigorous framework of its own. If you're not a leader, what does a follower look like?
Kenyada Meadows, CEO & Founder at The Executive Parent Company, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss his book, The PASSENGER Seat, which outlines a framework for followership. Kenyada will outline the nine disciplines of the framework across three dimensions, including:
(P) Principled Anchoring — Holds values explicitly and specifically enough to guide behavior under pressure; knows the limit line before reaching it.
(A) Accountability — Communicates upward honestly, documents concerns before decisions are made, and owns errors without deflection.
(S) Self-Mastery — Invests deliberately in work, home, and inner domains, so identity — and ethical agency — isn't hostage to institutional threat.
(S) Systems Thinking — Reads the institution analytically — what produces the patterns observed, and where honest information is being filtered.
(E) Emerging Risk Management — Functions as an early-warning system for risks that formal frameworks haven't yet named.
(N) Negotiation — Translates insight and values into institutional impact through credibility, framing, coalition, and timing. -(G) Guardianship — Protects what the institution stands for over time, especially when no one is watching.
(E) Enablement — Ensures influence strengthens collective capacity rather than merely advancing individual position.
(R) Results-Driven Influence — Binds the other eight disciplines toward outcomes that are genuinely better — not merely visible.

While agents and LLMs haven't fundamentally changed core mobile vulnerability types, they have supercharged speed, scale, and accessibility—democratizing threats like automated phishing, synthetic identity fraud, and easier identification of hard-coded secrets. Ryan Lloyd and Jason Cortlund break down how threat actors leverage LLMs as a force multiplier to accelerate mobile app attacks. Then we discuss actionable defense strategies, from viewing agents as an active adversary to leveraging server-side threat telemetry, attestation, and layered defense strategies combined with polymorphic code releases.

Interview with Snehal Antani
Snehal Antani, CEO and co-founder of Horizon3 joins us to talk about how automated validation can help with exposure management. As vulnerability counts spike, security teams are looking for a way to prioritize. Automated penetration testing offers a way to quickly separate exploitable vulnerabilities from the rest.

Topic Segment - SmartTVs and Privacy
For this week's topic segment, we explore privacy and TVs. LG has been in the news for allegedly collecting data from its customers, but the facts are unclear.
We share our recent experiences and dive into some of the primary concerns and theories about what's going on here.
If you want to opt out of some of your TV's data collection, Consumer Reports has a collection of instructions for a variety of TV platforms.

Twenty-five years since 9/11, and we open by marking it properly — the people who didn't come home, and the survivors and responders still carrying it, physically and mentally, a quarter of a century on.
Then we get to work.
Shift-left didn't fail. The starting line moved. AI coding agents now read the issue, write the code, pick the dependencies and open the pull request — so the earliest trust boundary isn't your first commit any more, it's the moment an agent gets context and authority. Most of us haven't moved our controls with it.
Unit 42 pull the lid off a pay-per-install operation running out of eleven gaming YouTube channels, with over ten thousand loader samples underneath it. Every layer built to look too boring to escalate. When your analyst closes that alert as adware, they may have just closed three separate compromises.
Google's threat tracker: a credential-harvesting campaign built and run in under six hours, with Markdown files as attacker playbooks. And malware carrying prompt-injection text designed to make your LLM scanner refuse to look at it — because a refusal that reads as "clean" is a free pass.
A CVSS 10 in Gemini CLI that never touched the model. No prompt, no injection, no tool call. The attacker just turned up before the sandbox did.
The first ever Take It Down Act sentencing — handled carefully, with what you actually do if someone tells you something, and a proper shout-out to Dale, the Cyber Safety Guy, whose work every parent with a teenager online should have bookmarked.
Two hundred and sixty-three million dollars walks out of a Bitcoin sidechain and then walks back in. Nobody stole the keys. They just convinced the system to sign a lie.
Anthropic's 154-page threat report. And an alignment lead who puts extinction odds above ten percent.
All that, plus Josh Marpet's take, on Security Weekly News #615.
