SecurePod: Encryption is the headline, metadata is the story

Our fifth episode of SecurePod takes on one of cybersecurity's biggest misconceptions: that encryption keeps you safe. Christine Gadsby, Chief Security Advisor at BlackBerry, joins host Nick Kelly to explain why metadata — not message content — is often the more valuable target for threat actors, and why mobile networks should be treated as hostile by default. They also get into how attackers are using AI to refine techniques against older global infrastructure before targeting higher-security environments, why SBOMs are becoming non-negotiable for supply chain security, and how tools like ThreatCanvas support a more proactive approach to threat exposure.
