In this conversation, I speak with Jason Haddix, founder of Arcanum Security and CISO at Flare.

We talk about:

Flare's Unique Approach to Threat Intelligence:
How Flare's capability to uncover compromised credentials and cookies from the dark web and private forums has been crucial in red team engagements.

Challenges of Credential Theft and Advanced Malware Techniques:
How adversaries utilize tools like the RedLine Stealer malware to gather credentials, cookies, and other sensitive information, and this stolen data enables attackers to bypass authentication protocols, emphasizing the need for comprehensive exposure management.

Jason's Journey To Founding Arcanum & Arcanum's Security Training Programs:
How Jason now advises on product development and threat intelligence as Flare's CISO and his journey to fund Arcanum, a company focused on red teaming and cybersecurity, and Arcanum's specialized training programs focusing on offensive security and using AI in security roles.
