On this week’s show Patrick Gray talks to former NSA Cybersecurity Director Rob Joyce about Donald Trump’s unprecedented, unwarranted and completely bonkers political persecution of Chris Krebs and his employer SentinelOne.

They also talk through the week’s cybersecurity news, covering:

• Mitre’s stewardship of the CVE database gets its funding DOGE’d
• The US signs on to the Pall Mall anti-spyware agreement
• China tries to play the nationstate cyber-attribution game, but comedically badly
• Hackers run their malware inside the Windows sandbox, for security against EDR

This week’s episode is sponsored by open source identity provider Authentik. CEO Fletcher Heisler joins to talk through the increasing sprawl of the identity ecosystem.
