Listen to the last episode:
Security teams are under more pressure than ever, reacting at human speed while systems, identities, and AI agents operate at machine speed. In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner sits down with cybersecurity leader and former FBI executive MK Palmore to explore why defenders struggle to keep pace and what it takes to regain control.
From AI agents that overshare sensitive data to cloud misconfigurations that never seem to disappear to the persistent success of ransomware, MK explains how complexity, vendor sprawl, and overloaded teams create gaps that attackers continue to exploit. The conversation highlights how identity across human, machine, and emerging agent types has become the center of modern security and why fundamentals, prioritization, and platform thinking matter more than ever.
Listeners will hear insight on:
• Identity at machine speed and the rise of autonomous access
• Why attackers still win more than 51 percent of the time
• How ransomware continues to succeed despite industry progress
• Why SMBs face “mission impossible” expectations
• The true cost of vendor sprawl and operational overload
• What effective security leadership looks like in the current threat environment
If you work in identity, security operations, strategy, or leadership, this discussion cuts through hype and focuses on the realities defenders face and how to push back against the constant pressure of the tyranny of the now.
