Robert Boles, founder of BLOKWORX, on the Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast hosted by @LimaCharlieio.

Over the next few weeks, we’re unpacking the playbooks of today’s most active ransomware gangs. This week: Akira – a group that spent two quiet weeks mapping an entire network, all because a few alerts went unchecked. Every missed alert is an open door. Next week: AlphaV.

We dove into AI in the SOC with Matt Bromiley from Prophet Security! Matt broke down how AI is transforming (and should be transforming) SOC workflows. Whether you're already using AI tools or wondering where to start, this is the conversation you don't want to miss.

LimaCharlie Query Language (LCQL) enables security teams to search across their entire multi-platform fleet, from Windows Event Logs to Linux package installations to macOS volume mounts. Our MCP server allows users to generate LCQL queries from plain-text language commands. Eric Capuano, founder of Digital Defense Institute, demoed this during our webinar: "I want an LCQL query that'll go and find processes in the last twenty four hours that exhibit signs of x. I can just give it that instruction... that MCP tool will work it out and give Claude the ideal LCQL query to run.".

This week on the podcast, we cover a massive software supply chain compromise involving widely-used NPM packages. After that we discuss an increase in social engineering attacks called ClickFix. Finally, we end with a discussion of Senator Wyden's recent letter to the FTC demanding Microsoft being held accountable for "gross cybersecurity negligence" and whether his claims have any merit. The 443 Security Simplified is a weekly podcast that gets inside the minds of leading white-hat hackers and security researchers, covering the latest cybersecurity headlines and trends.

Eric Capuano, founder of Digital Defense Institute, demoed permission controls using LimaCharlie's MCP server. When Claude recommended isolating compromised systems, Eric explained: "It's very aggressively recommending it's time to isolate these systems, but it is not authorized to fire off the isolate network command.".
