Meta settles. Australian police arrest two alleged TeamPCP members. The White House moves to shore up water utility cybersecurity. ATF reports a major cyber incident. The Navy tells sailors to lock down social media. The FBI warns of a prolific Chinese hacking operation. Bill Gates sounds the alarm on AI. A purported think tank tries to influence chatbot answers. And attackers focus less on individual vulnerabilities and more on the vendors behind them. Our guest is Tim Springston, Principal Product Manager at Semperis, on achieving hybrid identity resilience in the age of agentic AI. Meta pumps the brakes on going AI native.
