What if your security team is playing defense while hackers play offense 24/7? Foster Davis, former Navy cyber warfare officer and founder of BreachBits, breaks down why traditional penetration tests become obsolete in weeks—and how continuous red teaming changes the game. From hunting pirates in the Indian Ocean to defending critical infrastructure, Foster shares hard-earned lessons about adversarial thinking, operational risk management, and why the junior person in the room might spot your biggest vulnerability.

What You'll Learn:

• Why red teaming creates psychological advantages penetration testing can't match
• How operational risk management translates technical findings into executive action
• The real cost of point-in-time security assessments (hint: ask St. Paul, Minnesota)
• Military-grade frameworks for continuous threat simulation in civilian organizations
• Why attackers operate 365 days a year—but most organizations test once

Don't let your organization become another headline. Security teams need to think like attackers, not just defenders. Subscribe for more conversations that challenge conventional cybersecurity thinking.

What if everything AI tells you about cybersecurity costs is completely wrong? The Audit crew unpacks a shocking data black hole that has infected every major AI model—plus field-tested tech that actually works.

In this laid-back Field Notes episode, Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellum return from Gartner's CIO Symposium with insights that'll make you question your AI outputs. From discovering that the "trillions in cybercrime" statistic is pure fiction (the real number is 16.6 billion) to hands-on reviews of Starlink Mobile and Nothing earbuds, this episode delivers practical intelligence you won't find in vendor pitches.

Don't wait for the next data breach to question your assumptions. Subscribe for monthly Field Notes episodes that cut through the noise with honest, technical conversations you can trust.

What happens when Apple Vision Pro meets enterprise AI? In this episode of The Audit, Alex Bratton—applied technologist and AI implementation expert—joins hosts Joshua Schmidt and Nick Mellem to reveal how spatial computing and artificial intelligence are colliding to reshape how we work. From conducting million-dollar sales meetings in virtual reality to building AI governance frameworks that actually work, Alex breaks down the cutting-edge tech that's moving faster than most organizations can keep up.

This isn't theoretical innovation—it's practical implementation. Alex shares real-world examples of pharmaceutical reps training with AI-powered virtual doctors, airlines redesigning airport gates in spatial environments, and manufacturing teams using Vision Pro for secure work on confidential documents at 30,000 feet. If you've been skeptical about AR/VR or overwhelmed by AI adoption, this conversation delivers the clarity you need to make informed decisions for your organization.

Key Topics:

• Why Apple Vision Pro is the "iPhone 1 moment" for spatial computing and what that means for enterprise security
• The three categories of AI tools: reactive assistants, task-based agents, and goal-oriented digital employees
• How to build AI governance frameworks without crushing innovation or falling behind competitors
• Real security concerns with AI tools and which vendors are actually protecting your data
• Why mid-market companies are outpacing Fortune 500s in AI adoption—and what that means for your industry
• Practical strategies for baking AI into company culture without triggering employee resistance
• The critical difference between free AI tools that steal your data and paid platforms that protect it

Whether you're a CISO evaluating AI tools, an IT director building governance policies, or a security professional trying to stay ahead of threats, this episode delivers actionable intelligence you can implement today. The AI revolution isn't coming—it's already here. The question is whether your organization will lead or get left behind.
