Cybersecurity Perspectives
Cybersecurity Perspectives is a show for IT and cybersecurity professionals who want real talk, not talking points. Every episode, a guest draws one of three cards, each one holding a real statistic pulled from an industry report or news outlet. Whatever card they pick becomes the topic. No pre-set questions, no rehearsed answers. Just an honest conversation about what that number actually means for their company, their team, and the industry at large, and what to do about it. Hosted by Paul Marco and Owahn Bazydlo, co-founders of TALAS Security, the show brings together practitioners, leaders, and builders from across IT and cybersecurity to talk shop, share hard-won lessons, and build a stronger community for the people doing this work every day. Stats. Insights. Real talk. https://www.talas.io/podcast

In this episode of Cybersecurity Perspectives, Paul Marco and Owahn Bazydlo unpack a striking data point from the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report: the median threat actor researched or used AI assistance across 15 different MITRE ATT&CK techniques in 2025, with some actors leveraging as many as 40 to 50.

Security is moving faster than the people trying to stop it - and attackers are already using AI to widen the gap.

AI watermarking, 130 new vulnerabilities a day, and a breakout time that dropped to 29 minutes, this episode shows exactly why cybersecurity now feels like a race you cannot afford to lose.
