The Cyber Resilience Brief: A SafeBreach Podcast

The Shadow War is already underway — and it’s being fought in cyberspace.

In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and cybersecurity strategist Adrian Culley explore how escalating global tensions are redefining modern warfare and what that means for CISOs and security teams today.

We break down how nation-state cyber threats from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are operating in a state of persistent eng...

Offensive cybersecurity didn’t start with phishing or ransomware; it began with codebreaking, curiosity, and a drive to understand how systems fail.

In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and SafeBreach Senior Sales Engineer Adrian Culley explore the evolution of offensive security — from early hacking and penetration testing to modern Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and continuous adversarial exposure v...

Emennet Pasargad is one of the most active and aggressive Iranian cyber threat groups operating today — tied directly to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Cyber Electronic Command.

In this episode of Cyber Resilience Brief, SafeBreach Senior Sales Engineer Adrian Culley breaks down who Emennet Pasargad really is, how they operate through shell companies and phishing campaigns, and why their tactics pose both cybersecurit...

Threat-led red teaming is no longer optional in Europe — it’s becoming the foundation of cyber resilience.

In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin is joined by Adrian Culley, SafeBreach’s offensive security expert for Europe and the UK, to break down the TIBER-EU framework and why it’s reshaping how financial institutions and critical infrastructure organizations approach cyber defense.

Originally developed ...

In this episode of the Cyber Resilience Brief, hosts Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley clearly and practically explain some of the most commonly used — and most commonly misunderstood — terms in modern cybersecurity.

Together, they break down:

• What Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) actually means in practice
• How Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) operate — and why persistence matters
• What Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) is ...

The Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack has already cost the UK billions — and exposed a critical weakness in modern cybersecurity: supply chain risk. In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, SafeBreach hosts Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley sit down with Steve Cobb, CISO of SecurityScorecard, to unpack what really happened, why groups like Scattered Spider, ShinyHunters, and Lapsus are becoming more coordinated, and what CISOs must d...

In Episode 33 of The Cyber Resilience Brief, hosts Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley revisit the BRICKSTORM threat—this time through the lens of the new CISA, NSA, and Canadian Cyber Centre joint advisory. While Episode 24 explored BRICKSTORM’s origin, stealth techniques, and UNC5221’s long-term espionage campaign, this episode focuses on what’s changed, and why BRICKSTORM remains a critical concern for defenders in 2025 and into 2026.

In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and offensive security expert Adrian Culley expose The Com—the decentralized cybercrime collective behind threat groups like Lapsus$, Scattered Spider (UNC 3944 / Octo Tempest), and ShinyHunters. Together, they break down how this teenage-to-young-adult adversary ecosystem has weaponized vishing, MFA fatigue, SIM-swapping, and cloud exfiltration to breach giants includ...

In this final episode of our November Critical Infrastructure series, The Cyber Resilience Brief host Tova Dvorin and SafeBreach offensive engineer Adrian Culley explore what it truly means to measure resilience — not just talk about it. They break down how the CISA resilience framework (“Know, Assess, Plan, and Continuously Improve”) connects directly to modern validation tools like Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), Adversary Ex...

As IT and OT environments converge, critical infrastructure faces an evolving threat landscape where cyberattacks can have real-world, physical consequences. In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley, Offensive Cybersecurity Engineer at SafeBreach, explore how Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) delivers a unified approach to testing and securing IT/OT boundaries. Learn how continuous val...

In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, hosts Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley explore the domino effect of supply chain vulnerabilities within critical infrastructure. Using real-world examples like SolarWinds, MOVEit, and Log4j, they unpack how a single compromised vendor can ripple across entire sectors—and how Adversary Exposure Validation (AEV) can help break that chain.

Adrian explains how AEV models third-party attack pa...

In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and SafeBreach offensive security engineer Adrian Culley explore the high-stakes world of critical infrastructure cybersecurity. November marks Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, and the discussion dives deep into why continuous validation — not periodic testing — is essential for protecting energy, water, finance, and healthcare systems from nation...

The ShinyHunters threat group has transformed from a dark-web data broker into one of the most dangerous alliances in modern cybercrime. In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley, Offensive Security Engineer at SafeBreach, break down how the group’s merger with Scattered Spider marks a new era of as-a-service cybercrime — one built on social engineering, AI-powered vishing, and the exploitati...
