Your host Brooke S., PhD sits down with Matthew Rosenquist, a 24-year Intel cybersecurity CISO and founder of Cybersecurity Insights. Together they discuss AI's growing impact on security, covering practical career advice for newcomers and the urgent risks posed by agentic AI models that can rapidly discover vulnerabilities and compress an attacker's timeline.
Matthew introduces the "Mythos effect," inspired by Anthropic's Mythos Preview, explaining how AI is democratizing cybercrime and disrupting traditional vulnerability management and incident response. They discuss real-world examples of agentic AI gone awry, the gap between current models and sci-fi sentience, and the difficult trade-offs organizations face balancing speed, oversight, and competitiveness. The conversation also covers where boards and executives commonly go wrong, why simply spending more isn't enough, and what parents and everyday users can do to stay safe.

Cybercrime is no longer just about individual hackers. It has become a global business built on infrastructure, money flows, and organized criminal networks. In this episode of Securanoia, Brooke S, PhD sits down with Jethro Cornelissen, lead volunteer investigator with Cybercrime Atlas, hosted by the World Economic Forum, to reveal how investigators track and disrupt the networks behind scams, fraud operations, and online crime. Jethro shares what happens behind the scenes as investigators map criminal activity, follow financial trails, connect identities, and turn intelligence into action. The conversation explores the human impact of large-scale scam operations, the growing threat of deepfakes and voice scams, and why collaboration between cybersecurity teams, fraud investigators, and law enforcement is essential. Jethro also explains why the future of cyber investigations depends on people who can connect technology, financial crime, and human behavior. This episode provides a rare look into how global cybercrime networks operate and how investigators are working to break them apart.
