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

    Is the 'Shields Up' era of CISA over?
    Feb 26 2026
    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?
    Feb 19 2026
    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.

  • No exceptions: How Amazon killed the password and unified security

    No exceptions: How Amazon killed the password and unified security
    Feb 12 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Stephen Schmidt, SVP & Chief Security Officer at Amazon, to explore the engineering and leadership required to run a "no exceptions" identity program at a global scale. Most organizations suffer from the "fragmentation problem"—a mix of high-security cloud apps and vulnerable legacy systems. Stephen explains how Amazon unified its authentication standard to ensure that every internal account, from a fresh developer environment to a legacy application from 2003, meets the same rigorous bar. In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Derek Johnson on why your AI doctor does not have the same privacy protections as your real doctor. https://cyberscoop.com/radio/how-amazon-killed-the-password-and-unified-security/ Join Virtru on Feb 18th for the inaugural DCMMC at 1801 Pennsylvania Ave for a no-nonsense CMMC deep dive followed by a bourbon tasting—grab your spot here. - https://www.virtru.com/dcmmc-event Follow CyberScoop on Social Media • https://www.twitter.com/CyberScoopNews • https://www.linkedin.com/company/cyberscoop • https://www.facebook.com/cyberscoop/ • https://www.instagram.com/cyberscoopnews/ • https://www.tiktok.com/@cyberscoopnews • https://bsky.app/profile/cyberscoop.bsky.social About Safe Mode Every week we break down the most pressing issues in technology, provide you with the knowledge and tools to stay ahead of the latest threats and take you behind the scenes of the biggest stories in cyberspace. https://cyberscoop.com/show/safe-mode/
