Corelight CEO Brian Dye shares the high-stakes story of a customer under a $10 million ransomware attack. The attackers claimed to have stolen sensitive IP—but with Corelight, the customer had the network visibility to verify exactly what was taken. The result? They confirmed the stolen data was limited and non-critical, enabling them to confidently deny the ransom demand. This powerful story illustrates the difference between “I think” and “I know”—and how that clarity can drive executive confidence, legal defensibility, and real-world savings.

Corelight CEO Brian Dye recounts how Corelight supported SectorCERT—an alliance of energy companies in Denmark—during one of the most advanced attack sequences he’s seen. The coordinated campaign targeted a shared firewall vulnerability across nearly a dozen organizations. Corelight provided the critical visibility and detection that helped defenders stop the first wave—and stay ahead of a second, modified attack just weeks later. The incident became a model of collaboration and response across national infrastructure.

Kids believe AI knows everything. This shift in trust has serious implications for digital safety and phishing risk.

Random but Memorable turns 150! (It’s official, we’re old.) To celebrate, we play some special messages submitted by you – our listeners and customers – along with our own 1Password employees. We’re even sharing some crowdsourced 1Password tips for good measure. We also host a very special Archive Edition of Watchtower Weekly. We look back at some of the historic news stories we covered in 2018 and reflect on how the world of cybersecurity has changed.

Does WAF protect against API threats? A10's Jamison Utter discusses whether WAF (Web Application Firewalls) can protect API (Application Programming Interface). Since the role of a WAF is to stop run-time actions, it's not designed for modern API security challenges, as it has no context for what API is doing.

Falcon Identity Protection strengthens security for non-human identities with continuous visibility, advanced detection, and automated, risk-based policies.

East vs West: two very different approaches to AI development — and both bring unique security risks.

In this updated tutorial, Martin Phan, Field CTO at CloudCasa, walks you through how to easily back up and restore virtual machines in SUSE Virtualization (formerly Harvester). You'll see how to register your SUSE cluster with CloudCasa, protect containerized VMs, and perform a full VM restore — including the ability to restore to a different namespace with options to power off the VM and apply additional restore transformations.

In this demo, Martin Phan, Field CTO at CloudCasa, shows you how to automate the deployment of CloudCasa resources using our official Terraform provider. Learn how to register Kubernetes clusters, set up backup jobs and policies, and define object storage destinations — all through infrastructure as code. What you'll learn.
