For years, patch management has been treated as a solved problem—until reality strikes. Outdated applications, portable executables, patch conflicts, and shadow software leave organizations unknowingly exposed. The tools may exist, but the process often breaks down.

In this episode, Rob Allen, chief product officer at ThreatLocker, discusses why their new patch management solution goes beyond legacy approaches. With built-in patch packaging, pre-deployment testing, and granular control, the platform helps teams navigate complex environments while keeping rollback, risk tolerance, and deny-by-default strategies in play. Joining him are Mike Woods, vp of cybersecurity at GE Vernova, and Steve Zalewski, co-host of Defense in Depth.

Automated attacks are growing in speed and sophistication, far outpacing the human defenses most organizations rely on. Whether it’s credential stuffing, scraping, or denial-of-wallet attacks, bots can drain your resources before they even steal a cent.

In this episode, Sam Crowther, founder of Kasada, discusses how their bot detection and mitigation solution flips the economics of attacks. By disrupting automated behavior at wire speed—without impacting user experience—Kasada ensures you’re doing business with real people, not fake clicks. Joining him are panelists Jimmy Sanders, president of ISSA International, and Jason Elrod, CISO at MultiCare Health System.

Managing privileged access across a sprawling IT environment remains one of cybersecurity’s toughest balancing acts. Admin privileges are often granted too broadly and retained for too long, opening dangerous pathways for lateral movement and ransomware.

In this episode, Rob Allen, chief product officer at ThreatLocker, introduces their Elevation Control tool — a solution designed to help security teams remove unnecessary privileges, apply just-in-time elevation for specific apps, and restrict lateral movement, even within elevated sessions. Joining him are Mike Woods, vp of cybersecurity at GE Vernova, and Steve Zalewski, co-host of Defense in Depth.
