  • A plea to improve quantum security in the federal government

    A plea to improve quantum security in the federal government
    2026/03/05
    In this episode, we sit down with Gharun Lacy, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Cyber and Technology Security Directorate at the U.S. Department of State, who issues a stark warning: no organization can defend against quantum-enabled cyber threats alone. Hear Lacy explain why adversaries like China are already harvesting encrypted data today—planning to crack it years from now when quantum computers arrive. He breaks down the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat and why your encrypted data may outlive multiple leadership cycles, creating risks that stretch across generations like an accordion through time. Lacy challenges both public and private sector defenders to stop thinking about their post-quantum encryption plans in isolation. Instead, he argues we must defend "holistically as an ecosystem," with industries and sectors coordinating their transition to quantum-resistant algorithms by 2035. But is that timeline fast enough? In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Derek Johnson about a new study that finds that LLMs can used to deanonymize online profiles.

  • Is the 'Shields Up' era of CISA over?

    Is the 'Shields Up' era of CISA over?
    2026/02/26
    One year into the second Trump administration, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is facing what former officials and industry partners describe in stark terms: “decimated,” “amateur hour,” and “pretty much fallen apart.” In this episode, Greg Otto dives in with Tim Starks to unpack what’s happened inside the nation’s lead civilian cyber defense agency—and what it could mean for the country’s ability to withstand the next major cyber crisis. In the interview segment, we bring two experts from the DOD's Cyber Crime Center to speak about what they're seeing on the threat landscape.

  • Should you still trust your password manager?

    Should you still trust your password manager?
    2026/02/19
    In this episode, Greg explores the gap between password manager marketing claims of "Zero Knowledge Encryption" and the reality uncovered by Swiss researchers who found 25 attacks against Bitwarden, LastPass, and Dashlane. Professor Kenny Patterson joins Greg to discuss why the industry's "honest-but-curious" security model is dangerously inadequate compared to a "malicious server" threat model, diving into three critical vulnerability categories: account recovery mechanisms that allow attackers to swap encryption keys, seemingly innocent features like icon fetching that leak passwords, and "vault malleability" where individual item encryption lets attackers cut-and-paste data between vault fields. They also discuss how legacy code support and backwards compatibility create cryptographic hazards, and what non-negotiable features are needed to build a truly "provably secure" password manager from scratch.
