From Policy to Cyber Interference

In this episode of Threat Vector, guest-host Michael Sikorski speaks with Thomas P. Bossert, President of Trinity Cyber and former Homeland Security Advisor. They explore the path from policy and national security strategy to building operational cyber defense that “interferes with attackers mid-operation.” Tom shares insights on how companies can shift from chasing ephemeral indicators to engaging with threat actors in encrypted traffic using active threat interference. We dive deep into the disconnect between policy rhetoric and real-world tech, why defensive action matters now, and how commercial cyber deterrence can work. Cyber leaders can expect a practical discussion on reshaping defense for today’s threat landscape.
