Your security dashboard is green. Every control is passing. You're still getting breached.
In Episode 1 of Business Uninterrupted, VikingCloud's Jon Marler, Director of Product Management and Cybersecurity Evangelist, tackles the most uncomfortable truth in security right now: your controls aren't failing. The spaces between them are.
Jon breaks down how AI-powered attacks exploit the spaces that traditional tools weren't built to see, from identity verification that confirms who you are but not what you intend to do, to QR code phishing attacks that silently jump from corporate devices to personal ones, bypassing every protection your IT team put in place. Every individual tool logs a clean event. Nothing looks wrong until it's too late.
He also makes the case for why blaming users for clicking the wrong thing is the wrong conversation. When AI-generated phishing emails hit a 54% click-through rate versus 12% for traditional campaigns, the problem isn't awareness. It's architecture. Jon introduces narrative detection: moving from monitoring individual controls to identifying the chain of events that tells the real story of an attack.
If you're responsible for your organization's security posture, Jon's closing directive alone is worth a listen: stop auditing just your controls. Start auditing the spaces between them.
