In this special episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt hosts the podcast for the final time — looking back on 15 years in cybersecurity, the lessons he’s learned from speaking with security practitioners, researchers, MSPs and incident responders, and how dramatically the threat landscape has evolved.
Tyler and incoming host Keelin Conant explore the shift from early malware and ransomware to double extortion, data theft and increasingly sophisticated nation-state activity. They also discuss how AI is accelerating the speed at which new exploits and attacks move from proof of concept into the wild.
The conversation covers why organizations should report cybercrime to law enforcement, the role cryptocurrency trails can play in investigations, and the increasingly blurred line between financially motivated ransomware groups and nation-state operations.
Looking ahead, Tyler shares some practical advice for defenders: treat identity as part of the security perimeter, limit privileges, protect administrative accounts, prepare for AI agents with excessive permissions, test backups, run tabletop exercises and focus on the fundamentals.
But this episode is ultimately about more than technology. Tyler and Keelin discuss the importance of people, curiosity and human experience in cybersecurity — and why, despite changing technology and evolving attackers, there will always be a need to understand what is really happening and what defenders should do about it.
As Tyler hands over the hosting role to Keelin, the next chapter of Reimagining Cyber begins.

What does cyber resilience really mean when the stakes extend far beyond the security team?
In this special Reimagining Cyber: The Boardroom Edition, we bring together perspectives from three 2026 conversations to explore how cybersecurity is becoming a board-level business and operational issue.
Theresa Lanowitz, Cybersecurity Analyst at Omdia and former Gartner analyst explains why resilience can't be treated as simply another cybersecurity initiative — and why the whole organization, from the board and C-suite to frontline teams, needs to take responsibility.
We then look at the first year of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) with tech leader Dominic Brown (founder, Graves Light Consulting) , exploring what the regulation means for financial services, why implementation has proved challenging, and why governance, testing and accountability are becoming increasingly important.
Finally, Doug Merritt, CEO of Aviatrix and former CEO of Splunk, argues that cybersecurity is entering a new “containment era.” If organizations have to assume that breaches will happen, how do they prevent those breaches from becoming catastrophic? His answer: measure the blast radius.
Across all three conversations, one message stands out: cyber leadership is no longer simply about protecting technology. It's about preserving operations, protecting customers, sustaining trust and ensuring the business can continue when disruption occurs.
This is cybersecurity from the boardroom perspective.

In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt talks with Robert Salzwedell about what happens when attackers get past the firewall — and why keeping them out is no longer enough.
With cloud services, remote workers, SaaS applications and compromised credentials blurring the boundaries of the traditional network, organisations can no longer assume that someone is safe simply because they are already inside.
Robert explains why organisations need to look beyond the perimeter, understand where their sensitive data lives, rethink how they trust identities, and use behaviour to spot suspicious activity. They also discuss Zero Trust, AI agents, continuous security validation and how organisations can limit the damage when an account or device is compromised.
In this episode:
Why the traditional network perimeter is no longer enough
What happens when attackers use legitimate identities
Why understanding your data is critical to security
How Zero Trust can help limit access and reduce risk
The growing security challenge around AI and AI agents
Why security needs to be continuously assessed and improved
Practical steps organisations can take to reduce their exposure
A conversation about moving from simply trying to keep attackers out to making sure that, when they do get in, they can't get very far.

Cl0p is back — and once again, the ransomware group is showing why attacking the technology that connects organisations can be far more powerful than attacking them one at a time.
This episode examines Cl0p’s latest campaign targeting vulnerabilities in PTC Windchill and Flex PLM, enterprise software used across engineering, manufacturing and other industries.
The conversation explores Cl0p’s “one-to-many” approach: find a widely deployed piece of enterprise software, exploit a vulnerability, and use it as a gateway into potentially hundreds of organisations. It’s a strategy the group has used before, most notably in the MOVEit campaign, which ultimately affected thousands of organisations.
The episode looks at why data theft and extortion can now be more valuable than traditional ransomware encryption, why attackers are increasingly targeting the “multiplier” in an organisation’s technology ecosystem, and why simply patching a vulnerability may not be enough if an attacker has already gained access.
It also explores the risks posed by MSPs, remote management platforms and trusted third parties — and what security teams should be doing to identify their own potential multipliers.
The key lesson? Don’t just ask what happens if this system is compromised. Ask: if this system is compromised, what else does the attacker get?
