Reimagining Cyber - real world perspectives on cybersecurity

In this episode of Re-Imagining Cyber, host Tyler Moffitt sits down with senior threat research analyst Kelvin Murray to unpack a hard truth: luck has nothing to do with surviving a cyber attack.
From the rise of AI-powered cybercrime to the persistence of old attack methods like RDP, the conversation explores why ransomware gangs continue to thrive in an increasingly industrialized underground economy. The duo breaks down how cybercrime now operates more like a business—complete with subscription models, affiliate programs, and even “ransomware-as-a-service.”
They also dive into:
How AI is lowering the barrier to entry for cybercriminals
Why legitimate tools are being repurposed for malicious use
The ongoing risks of poorly secured remote access systems
The shift from data encryption to data theft and extortion
The hidden dangers of AI agents with excessive permissions
The key takeaway? Technology alone isn’t the ultimate defense—preparation, training, and strong security fundamentals are.
If you think cyber resilience comes down to luck, think again.

What if the next cyberattack doesn’t just steal your data—but turns off your water, power, or access to healthcare?
In this eye-opening episode, Josh Corman (I Am The Cavalry Dot Org) returns to unpack a rapidly evolving threat landscape where cyberattacks are no longer just about information theft—they’re about real-world disruption and destruction. From nation-state actors pre-positioning inside critical infrastructure to the chilling reality of “digital time bombs” lying dormant in water and power systems, Josh explains why the rules of cybersecurity are changing—and why we’re not ready.
The conversation dives into the rise of campaigns like Volt Typhoon, the strategic implications of a potential Taiwan conflict, and how adversaries are targeting civilian infrastructure to sow chaos and weaken response efforts. Josh also shares insights from his “Undisruptable 27” initiative, focused on protecting the most critical lifeline systems before it’s too late.
But this isn’t just about global conflict—it’s personal. Listeners will walk away with practical steps to protect their households, challenge assumptions about resilience and insurance, and rethink what preparedness really means in a world where cyber and physical risks collide.
This is a candid, sobering, and essential discussion on the future of cyber warfare—and what you can do about it today.

AI is transforming every corner of technology—but it’s also creating an entirely new frontier for cybersecurity.
In just a few short years, AI security has exploded into one of the fastest-growing segments in the industry. New startups are emerging almost weekly, regulators are racing to keep up, and security leaders are grappling with a fundamental question: how do you secure systems that are learning, evolving, and increasingly making decisions on their own?
Today’s guest has been tracking the cybersecurity industry longer—and more closely—than almost anyone.
Richard Stiennon is a renowned cybersecurity analyst, industry historian, and author of The Security Yearbook, widely regarded as the most comprehensive desk reference for the cybersecurity market. Now he’s turning his attention to the next era of digital risk.
His new book, Guardians of the Machine Age: Why AI Security Will Define the Future of Digital, is released this Wednesday, March 11—the same day this episode drops.
In this conversation, we explore why AI security has exploded so quickly, the forces driving this new market—from regulation to real-world attacks—and why Richard believes the standalone category of “AI security” may disappear entirely within the next year as AI becomes embedded in every security product.
We also dig into the rise of AI-driven SOC automation, what it means when machines begin triaging—and even responding to—threats autonomously, and the biggest misconceptions CISOs still have about securing AI systems.
If you want to understand where cybersecurity is heading in the age of intelligent machines, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, host Rob Aragao sits down with Eric McAlpine, Founder and CEO of Momentum Cyber, to break down what’s really happening inside today’s cybersecurity market.
Drawing from insights in the latest Momentum Cyber Almanac, Eric shares a behind-the-numbers look at:
The rise of a two-tier cybersecurity market — the “haves” and the “have-nots”
Why we may be in the middle of a cybersecurity supercycle
How AI-native startups are reshaping funding, innovation, and deal activity
The surge in M&A and what it signals for the future
What vendor consolidation means for security leaders and enterprise buyers
Why hyperscalers and frontier AI companies could be the next major power players
With record capital flows, accelerating innovation cycles, and trillion-dollar companies eyeing security, the stakes have never been higher.
If you want to understand where the cybersecurity market is headed in 2026 — and how to navigate the transformation — this episode delivers the strategic context you need.

Two weeks ago on Reimagining Cyber, we explored how agentic AI could become the next major security choke point. Since then, things have escalated.
Enterprises are restricting — even banning — AI agents. Security teams are scrambling to regain visibility. Vendors are rushing out “agent security” features. And early warning signs are already surfacing.
In this episode, Tyler Moffitt answers the critical question: Did agentic AI just move from innovation to crisis?
What changed in just a matter of weeks?
This discussion breaks down:
Why AI agents are fundamentally different from traditional automation and service accounts
How autonomous reasoning + persistent system access creates a new attack paradigm
The identity and API sprawl problem most organizations didn’t realize they had
Why compromised agents could give attackers automation at scale
The growing wave of enterprise bans — and what they signal
Whether regulation or a high-profile incident is likely to come first
Tyler explains how agents don’t just generate responses — they take action. They hold API keys, access internal systems, modify code repositories, interact with cloud infrastructure, and execute workflows. When deployed without guardrails, logging, or least-privilege controls, they can quietly multiply an organization’s attack surface overnight.
The core issue isn’t that AI is malicious — it’s that AI has become an acceleration layer. And when autonomy meets overprivileged access, traditional security models break.
You’ll also hear practical, immediate steps security teams should be taking now — from credential rotation and agent inventories to sandboxing and behavioral monitoring.
This isn’t an anti-AI episode. It’s a maturity wake-up call.
Because the organizations that build guardrails now will move faster and safer. The ones that don’t may learn the hard way.
If you’re a CISO, security architect, developer experimenting with agents in production, or executive evaluating AI adoption — this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
