Curriculum
6 lessons- 01Understanding VulDB and the Essentials of Vulnerability ManagementExplore what VulDB is, why vulnerability management matters more than ever, and practical ways organizations can use VulDB data streams to strengthen security. Featuring insights from our cybersecurity experts Alex, Vanessa, and Daniel.
- 02Dealing with Zero-Days of the Oracle and Microsoft PatchdaysWe break down the most recent patch days by Oracle and Microsoft—including critical zero-days in their important products. Join us as we explore what’s driving these numbers up and how organizations should respond to emerging threats.12 min
- 03Huge Vulnerability Spike at the End of the YearWe unpack the most significant takeaways from vulnerabilities in December 2025, focusing on notable zero-days, emerging risks in cloud and AI integrations, and the latest debates in vulnerability handling. Join us as we break down the technical details and real-world impact.16 min
- 04CVE Surge and AI Risks Shake CybersecurityExplore the record-breaking CVE disclosures in 2025 and how AI-driven vulnerabilities are reshaping the threat landscape. Gain insights on Fortinet's critical exploits, emerging trends in regional research, and strategic lessons for managing vulnerabilities in 2026.12 min
- 05Artificial Intelligence as a Challenge for Vulnerability ManagementThis episode explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the vulnerability management landscape – not just as a defensive tool, but as a new source of risk. Alex, Vanessa, and Daniel break down real-world examples such as February 2026 Patch Tuesday zero-days, AI-assisted exploit development, LLM-discovered 0-days, misconfigured Copilot-style agents, and noisy "AI slop" exploit traffic. They discuss what actually works today in AI-powered cyber defense versus hype, and share practical guidance for vulnerability management teams on how to adapt processes, metrics, and controls for an AI-driven threat environment.24 min
- 06March 2026 Enterprise Patching: Zero-Days, Exploit Chains, and PrioritizationA technical March 2026 vulnerability briefing focused on enterprise patching priorities. This episode examines browser and mobile exploit chains, Microsoft’s latest patch cycle, document-based intrusion risks, and why defenders need better prioritization beyond CVSS alone.We cover:Chrome zero-days and the operational urgency of browser patchingApple’s Coruna-related fixes for legacy iOS and what that means for fleet managementMicrosoft Patch Tuesday with emphasis on Office, SQL Server, and privilege-escalation riskMalformed ZIP archive scanning gaps and why compensating controls still matter16 min
