In this episode, we’ll explore what quantum computing might mean for the world of security in the future, and the concrete measures the banking sector is taking to prepare for it.
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.
They discuss the concrete tasks security teams have in front of them already now, how banks are working together to secure the financial eco-system, and the ongoing development within this field by tech companies and consultancies.

Magic Cat (part 1) with security researchers Erlend Leiknes and Harrison Sand
Darcula is a phishing-as-a-service operation targeting victims globally. Over the past 1.5 years, mnemonic researchers and an international investigative reporting team have been looking into the technology, operations and individuals connected to this crime group.
In this episode, Robby speaks with mnemonic's Erlend Leiknes and Harrison Sand about the findings from their technical investigation, offering a rare look behind the scenes of this global phishing-as-a-service operation utilising the phishing kit Magic Cat.
The research unveils hundreds of thousands of victims spanning the globe, unique technical insight into the software enabling hundreds of criminal subscribers, and a glimpse into the flashy lifestyle of the operators.
This podcast was recorded in April, but on May 4th, Norwegian media agency NRK, together with French Le Monde and German BR released the first of their multi-part global investigation into the prominent people behind the phishing operation. The investigation brings them to Thailand, where they attempt to confront Darcula, and learn more about the inner workings of the scam central.
Listen to Part 2 to hear how this story progresses as Robby interviews investigative journalist Martin Gundersen from NRK.

Agentic

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.
