Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte host a special episode of Security Now live from ThreatLocker's Zero Trust World 2026 in Orlando, Florida.
The final frontier of security is internal. Today, we have the tools, techniques and technologies to thwart attacks originating from outside our perimeter. We're now good at protecting our borders. But major high profile breaches occurring over the past several years have revealed that insufficient attention has been given to the security of our internal systems and networks. Today's greatest security weaknesses result from decades of system design, deployment and policy that have placed far too much trust on the conduct of those on the inside, behind our borders. Whether deliberate, inadvertent, or externally penetrating, the greatest challenge we now face is that of designing and deploying our internal security with strict adherence to the principles of least privilege and zero trust.

I don't really like Micah much to begin with but his take on the web thing wow yikes. also Steve I'm very disappointed in you man. you're basically throwing your hands up and saying well to hell with it let the bad guys win. you're basically saying that we shouldn't even try. the internet is not free it's cost is our sovereignty our freedom and our future. if it continues the direction it's going it's going to do more damage to humanity than it will ever help. This is the worst take ever.

They give you paralyzing drugs and if your lungs are dry that machine has a 50% it will kill you, and your body will immediately cremated, nothing for trial lawyers to exhume? Epidemiological experts say this is just another flu, do not let these political hacks kill you as they ignore warnings mitigation efforts prolong the virus? That is why the bat lady from China on day one said try malaria drugs, they open a channel into the virus so zinc or something else can bind instead of oxygen robbing iron stolen from your body?
