Welcome to a new episode of Cybersecurity Under Pressure: Real Attacks, Real Lessons. If your security dashboard shows complete MFA adoption, you might still be compromised. Sarah and Alex break down the mechanics of Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks targeting the banking and insurance sectors. Discover why attackers are bypassing traditional authentication to steal session tokens, and learn the architectural pivots required—from implementing cryptographic session binding to meeting DORA's strict incident response and revocation mandates.

In this new episode of Cybersecurity Under Pressure: Real Attacks, Real Lessons, hosts Sarah and Alex dissect the structural shift in automotive cyber threats. Moving past the outdated CAN bus hacking narrative, they explore how extortion crews are now targeting cloud services, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines to hold fleets hostage. Listen in for a rigorous breakdown of how to secure the update chain with HSM-backed keys, and how to leverage ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/156 to enforce safety-grade supply chain defense.

This episode dissects the strategic shift toward control plane exploitation, using the recent Cisco SD-WAN bypass (CVE-2026-20127) to illustrate how attackers are rewriting network segmentation in real-time. We analyze the fallout of the Odido leak and why "availability" has become the primary risk factor for industrial and automotive supply chains. We wrap up with a "Tier 0" roadmap for hardening the remote access and maintenance paths that often exist outside your formal security models.
