DtSR Episode 717 - Your UI is Bullshit
Guests: Michael Farnum, Sam Van Ryder TL;DR: Most cybersecurity dashboards don’t fail because they’re ugly. They fail because they don’t change what we do next. Description In Episode 717, Rafal sits down with Michael Farnum (Cybersec Community) and Sam (Dragos, a long-time OT and industrial cybersecurity practitioner) to talk about the uncomfortable truth behind security UI/UX: much of what shows up in the GUI is pure noise.

DtSR Episode 716 - What if Context Replaced Alerts Entirely
Guests: Jason Vest & Josh Neil TL;DR: Alert fatigue is still a problem; detection isn't generationally better - but we have all this AI. So what gives? Description Alert fatigue is not just a workload problem; it is a product design problem.

We’r...
