      <title>Hiding in Plain Sight.</title>
      <link>https://thecyberwire.com/podcasts/cyber-things/3/notes</link>
      <description>In the final episode of Cyber Things, a special edition podcast produced in partnership by Armis and N2K CyberWire in an homage to Stranger Things, host ⁠⁠Rebecca Cradick⁠⁠, VP of Global Communications at ⁠⁠Armis⁠⁠, is joined by ⁠⁠Nadir Izrael, Co-founder and CTO at Armis, and Michael Freeman, Head of Threat Intelligence at Armis. Together, they explore the ending of Stranger Things and the powerful cybersecurity lessons hidden beneath its surface. From the myth of the “dark hand” to threats that don’t look like threats at all, this episode examines why the most damaging risks are often the ones we trust, ignore, or assume are safe. Just like Hawkins, our digital world isn’t undone by obvious villains, but by what’s been hiding in plain sight all along.</description>

      <title>Cyber and its "Hive" Mind</title>
      <link>https://thecyberwire.com/podcasts/cyber-things/2/notes</link>
      <description>Welcome to Episode 2 of Cyber Things, a special edition podcast produced in partnership by Armis and N2K CyberWire in an homage to Stranger Things. Host Rebecca Cradick, VP of Global Communications at Armis, is joined by Curtis Simpson, CISO at Armis, to dive deep into the rise of the “Hive Mind”: the collective, connected threat ecosystem where attackers share tools, data, and tactics across the dark web, evolving faster than ever through AI-powered reconnaissance and automation.

This is essential listening for anyone seeking to better understand how today’s adversaries no longer operate alone, but as a distributed learning network that observes, adapts, and strikes with speed and precision. Tune in now to learn how organizations can think upside down, harness AI, and build defenses that move at the speed of today’s threats - before the shadows reach your network.</description>

      <title>The Unseen World</title>
      <link>https://thecyberwire.com/podcasts/cyber-things/1/notes</link>
      <description>Welcome to Cyber Things, a special edition podcast produced in partnership by Armis and N2K CyberWire that plunges into the hidden world beneath our connected reality. Inspired by Stranger Things, we explore the digital realm's own Upside Down - a space teeming with unseen devices, silent intruders, and invisible threats that quietly impact our everyday lives.

In this first episode, we tackle the core challenge of modern defense: seeing the unseen. Rebecca Cradick, VP of Global Communications at Armis, is joined by Kam Chumley-Soltani, Director of OT Solutions Engineering at Armis. They discuss what it truly takes for cybersecurity professionals to achieve full visibility and how early intelligence acts as a crucial barrier, stopping a devastating cyber storm before it breaks through the gate.

Tune in now to hear how defenders are fighting back against the digital demons that lurk in the shadows.</description>
