We ́re back from Summer break!
To kick things off, we’re excited to have Armin Buescher and Einar Oftedal from RSAC join Robby for a dive into the most talked-about topic at this year’s RSA Conference: the emergence of agentic AI.
Agentic AI, the way they define it, are agents that complete tasks acting on behalf of a user. Unlike the traditional LLM experience, where the agent is relying on human prompts, agentic AI is designed to plan, decide, and act on their own within set goals - instead of waiting for instructions.
During their conversation with Robby, they cover what agentic AI means for different domains within cyber, how it is being utilised, and the challenges of implementing agentic AI.
They also talk about the importance of human oversight, why decision-makers need to stay educated, and the biggest buzzwords when it comes to agentic AI.

Robby is joined by Ulf Larsson, Security CTO at the SEB Group, a leading financial services group in the Nordics, to discuss the work he’s been doing on the potential impact quantum computing will have on his sector, what it can do with our ability to protect data, and preparing his bank to be quantum safe by 2030.

The Economy for Phish
August 18, 2025
•50m
This episode, we’re joined by Ford Merrill, Senior Director of Research and Innovation at SEC Alliance, to discuss the evolution and sophistication of Phishing as a Service (PhaaS).
Merrill shares from his 11 years of experience working on security research in primarily the areas of phishing and DDoS botnets. In the episode, he talks about the shift from Russian to Chinese-speaking operators, who the developers of advanced kits like Darcula and Lighthouse are, and who actually uses them to impersonate brands for financial gain.
Merrill also outlines a complex ecosystem with supporting technologies and roles involving spammers, data brokers, and money launderers. He also shares what thinks needs to be done to respond this problem, and where he sees rays of hope already.
