Security Noise

Let's talk home automations, where the lights, the locks, the thermostat, and the doorbell all have opinions (and an internet connection). On this episode, Geoff and Skyler sit down to chat with TrustedSec's Adam Compton, a Principal Security Consultant and resident "Automator." Even though Adam resides in a farmhouse built in the 1800s, his home is anything but outdated. From automatic window blinds to driveway gates, Adam has automated just about everything he can. Listen as we discuss favorite websites, resources, and hardware hacks for all your home automation needs. Skyler and Adam go on a verbal side-quest to discuss going fully local when it comes to smart home assistants. Join us for another fun episode that just might have you saying, "Alexa, you're fired!"

We're back, by way of Vegas! After a summer break, Geoff and Skyler are kicking off Season 9 of the Security Noise Podcast with tales from Hacker Summer Camp (AKA - Black Hat and DEF CON)! We are joined by Principal Security Engineer Mike Spitzer, who gave a Black Hat Training, and Senior Security Consultant James Williams, who spoke at both cons this year about his social engineering tool "Reel." They're here to give us the good, the bad, the ugly, and the pleasant surprises. We compare each con, how they have changed over the years, and things that caught their attention while they roamed the floors of each. Join us as we welcome our friends home from Hacker Summer Camp and out of that desert heat!

It's a dramatic ending... of Season 8! On this episode of Security Noise, we are talking about the metaphorical soap opera that AI created. Since OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a non-profit AI lab, it has brought on dramatic interactions between its founders, culminating in a lawsuit in which Elon Musk sued cofounders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman over claims that OpenAI has "betrayed" its founding mission. We talk about allllll the drama in this season finale, joined by TrustedSec's Advisory Solutions Director Alex Hamerstone, entertaining the implications of the recent OpenAI trial and the BIG personalities that are shaping AI's future. Who will have control over that future? Investors, non-profits, founders, or giant tech platforms? And what does that mean for the rest of us, beyond Silicon Valley?

AI and automation are giving attackers unprecedented speed and scale — so how do defenders fight back? On this episode of Security Noise, we are joined by Carlos Perez, Director of Security Intelligence at TrustedSec, and John Dwyer, Deputy CTO and Head of ARC Labs at Binary Defense. They sit down with Geoff on Skyler to discuss how AI and automation are fundamentally reshaping the way defenders think, work, and respond. They unpack how machine speed and intelligent tooling are raising the stakes on both sides of the attack surface. From the power and limitations of open source security to the emergence of AI-assisted attack methodologies, this episode challenges defenders to rethink their strategies before adversaries outpace them. What does it takes to stay ahead in an environment where the pace of change is the biggest threat of all?
In this episode:
- How AI is transforming threat hunting and detection engineering
- Why open source security is more critical than ever
- How attackers are already using AI — and what that means for defenders
- What the future of security operations actually looks like
