On this episode of Safe Mode, Greg talks with Alex Pinto, Associate Director of Threat Intelligence at Verizon Business, as we unpack the key findings from this year’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). Pinto offers expert analysis on the most pressing cybersecurity trends impacting organizations worldwide—including ransomware’s dramatic spike, shifting attacker tactics, and evolving victim responses. We explore why ransomware now features in 44% of breaches, what’s driving a surge in exploited vulnerabilities and zero-day attacks on edge devices, and why small and mid-sized businesses are seeing more frequent and devastating impacts. Pinto sheds light on the motivations behind declining ransom payments, the rise of third-party risks, and the complex challenge of timely patching and remediation.

AI governance regimes the world over have seized on compute thresholds as a mechanism for implementing various controls on artificial intelligence systems. The basic idea is that if an AI model relies on a sufficiently large amount of computing power, then various controls kick in. As AI models get larger, the thinking goes, they also get riskier, and this means that AI governance regimes should focus on the largest models, as measured by computing power. But does this idea make any sense as a governing tool for the models of today and tomorrow? Sara Hooker leads Cohere’s research operation, and she’s looked hard at whether compute thresholds can be applied to AI systems to mitigate risks. On this episode of Safe Mode, she sits down with host Elias Groll to discuss her research on compute thresholds. CyberScoop’s newly minted editor in chief, Greg Otto, also joins the show to discuss how an errant CrowdStrike software update took down a huge number of critical services across the internet.
