Open-source AI tools are exploding in popularity. But what risks are they introducing inside your organization? If AI is in your environment, this is a conversation you cannot ignore.

This week on the podcast, we discuss OpenClaw, the open source chatbot that has exploded in popularity since launching late last year, and some of the risk it introduces to organizations. Before that, we chat about Ring's Super Bowl advertisement that caused a stir before ending with a Google Threat Intelligence Group report on advanced threat actor AI usage.

This week on the podcast, we cover a recent supply chain compromise involving the popular text editor Notepad++. After that, we discuss a recent vulnerability report in the Moltbook AI social network before ending with a deep-dive review of a recent remote code execution vulnerability in the N8N automation platform.

This week on the podcast, we cover a Politico report detailing a security lapse at CISA in the United States involving sensitive data and a public version of ChatGPT. Next, we dive into a couple of recently resolved vulnerabilities in the SolarWinds Web Help Desk application. Finally, we end with some closure on a story about two Coalfire penetration testers who were arrested several years ago for completing a penetration test in Iowa.

Attackers continue to move faster, automate more aggressively, and operate with greater precision at the endpoint. Detection alone is no longer enough. Security teams need clarity, context, and the ability to act decisively as threats unfold. Yet many endpoint approaches still rely heavily on manual investigation and response workflows that require human intervention. The result is alert overload, delayed response, increased operational effort, and growing pressure on already-stretched security teams.

A few simple reminders to start: Privacy is about choice, awareness, and control. And it starts with the everyday decisions we all make online.

As MSPs push for higher margins and tighter security outcomes, disconnected PSA, RMM, and security tools create noise, manual work, and missed opportunities. Deep, practical integrations are now the difference between a scalable managed security practice and an overloaded team. In this webinar, WatchGuard will show how our integrations with ConnectWise and Autotask help you.

This week on the podcast, we cover some first-hand research from the WatchGuard Threat Lab on a phishing campaign targeting users of nearly every major VPN vendor.
