AI is changing cybersecurity at an incredible pace. But are organizations prepared for the risks that come with it?

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with Brian Schleifer, an industry veteran with decades of experience spanning the military, technology, consulting, defense, and critical infrastructure.

Aaron and Brian explore what it really takes to adopt AI responsibly across IT and OT cybersecurity. Beyond the technology itself, they examine the human side of security, including communication, collaboration, accountability, and the skills needed to make new technologies work in the real world.

The conversation also tackles the growing challenges of AI governance, shadow AI, continuous monitoring, and cyber-physical resilience. Rather than treating AI as a magic solution, Brian offers a practical perspective on how organizations can be intentional about where and how they use AI while preparing for the disruptions it may create.

Key Learnings: 

How organizations can approach AI adoption in IT and OT cybersecurity

Why communication and collaboration are critical to successful security programs

The growing risks of shadow AI and AI governance

Why human accountability remains essential as AI becomes more capable

How continuous monitoring can strengthen cyber-physical security

Why organizations need to think beyond prevention and prepare for resilience and business continuity

How people, process, and technology must work together in an AI-driven environment

In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Founder and CEO Joe Saunders and returning guest Hemanth Tadepalli, Senior Cybersecurity and Compliance Manager at May Mobility, to explore why cybersecurity and safety are becoming inseparable as software takes control of vehicles and other critical systems.

Drawing on his experience securing autonomous mobility platforms, Hemanth explains how connected vehicles have expanded the attack surface across software, cloud infrastructure, APIs, sensors, AI models, and supply chains. Joe explores how organizations can build resilience into software, protect legacy and resource-constrained systems, and move beyond the costly cycle of finding, patching, and deploying fixes.

Together, Joe and Hemanth discuss:

Why cyber-physical systems require a different security mindset
How autonomous vehicles connect cybersecurity with physical safety
Why compliance should be a baseline—not the end goal
How AI is changing both cyberattacks and defense
Where software resilience and runtime protection fit
Why public trust depends on consistency, transparency, and safety
How security, engineering, and compliance teams can work together

Whether you secure autonomous vehicles, industrial equipment, medical devices, or other critical systems, this episode offers practical lessons for building software that is secure, resilient, and worthy of public trust.

Episode: Supply Chain Risk: Your Vendors Have Vendors You've Never Heard Of

Craig Duckworth sits down with Jowanza Joseph, CEO of Parakeet Risk, to unpack why third-party risk has become one of the most urgent challenges facing manufacturers and critical infrastructure operators.
Jowanza spent 15 years in engineering roles at Adobe, Pluralsight, and MasterCard before founding Parakeet Risk to serve an industrial sector he saw as the most underserved when it comes to technology.
Together they address why simply knowing who your vendors are is harder than it sounds, how insurers are moving past checkbox questionnaires and demanding real evidence of controls, and what happens when contracts require you to identify a new asset in your OT environment within five minutes.
They also get honest about the organizational problem few want to own: security leaders who carry responsibility for the plant floor without the authority to change anything on it. Jowanza closes with a practical, low-cost starting point for any organization and a look at where vendor attestation is headed over the next five years.
Chapters:
(00:00:00) Why industrial companies must become cybersecurity companies
(00:02:08) Cataloging and prioritizing your most dangerous vendors
(00:04:37) The hidden layers of subcontractors in your supply chain
(00:06:42) Cyber insurance moves past the checkbox era
(00:10:47) Contracts that demand new asset identification in five minutes
(00:12:58) AI is multiplying vulnerabilities faster than solutions
(00:16:31) Three hallmarks of a strong third party risk program
(00:21:14) Incident response, game days, and who falls on the sword
(00:23:42) Responsibility without authority across the IT and OT divide
(00:28:31) Where to start today and the future of vendor attestation
