OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Cybersecurity has changed significantly since BEMO first shared its nine tips for preventing cyberattacks in 2022. Yet, even as new technologies and AI-driven threats emerge, organizations continue to face challenges implementing the fundamentals consistently.
In this episode of Trust Issues, host Bruno Lecoq sits down with Laura Arce to revisit the cybersecurity practices businesses need to take seriously in 2026. They explore why multi-factor authentication remains one of the most effective ways to reduce account compromise risks, how passkeys are changing authentication, and why password vaults and timely software updates remain essential.
The conversation also examines the growing challenge of managing access in an environment where employees, administrators, and AI agents may all require different levels of permission.
A particularly memorable example demonstrates how a fake hotel Wi-Fi network can trick unsuspecting users into connecting to the wrong network, illustrating how easily everyday habits can create security vulnerabilities.
What You’ll Learn
- Why multi-factor authentication remains one of the most important safeguards against account compromise.
- How passkeys can reduce reliance on traditional passwords.
- Why password vaults support stronger password habits.
- How delayed software updates can leave organizations exposed to known vulnerabilities.
- Why access permissions should be limited to what each person or system actually needs.
- How AI agents introduce new questions around access, ownership and governance.
- Why just-in-time administrative access can reduce unnecessary privilege exposure.
- Why collecting security logs is not enough without reviewing them.
- How fake public Wi-Fi networks can expose users to security risks.
- How backups and phishing simulations contribute to a stronger security posture.
- Why employee awareness and consistent security practices matter as much as technology.

AI governance is where most companies are getting it wrong. It’s not that they lack policies, but because they don’t understand what can actually go wrong with the technology they’re deploying. In this episode of Trust Issues, hosts Jeremy Patterson and Bruno Lecoq step away from their usual CMMC f…
CMMC is synonymous with confusion at this point. But this episode of Trust Issues should clear it right up.
In this compilation episode of the podcast, Brandon and Bruno Lecoq revisit key insights from past conversations to cut through the noise around CMMC, documentation, self-attestation, a…
A lot of contractors talk about compliance like it is a form to finish.
E.J. Hilbert sees it very differently.
In this episode of Trust Issues, Jeremy Patterson and Bruno Lecoq speak with E.J. Hilbert, Director of US Regulatory Compliance and Security Officer at Element Materials Technology, about …
The CMMC pause gave contractors more time, but it also revealed a hard truth: some companies were building security because they believed in it, while others were only reacting to the threat of being graded.
In this episode of Trust Issues, Bruno Lecoq is joined by Jeremy Patterson to unpack what t…
A lot of contractors hear “CMMC” and immediately think of a six-figure bill.
According to Christina Reynolds, that’s the wrong place to start.
In this episode of Trust Issues, Bruno Lecoq speaks with Christina Reynolds, Registered Practitioner Organization leader and author of Scope Small, Wi…
