RSAC Presenter Says "Time to Kill One of Cybersecurity's Most Overworked Terms"

RSAC: Retiring "APT," FCC's US-Made Router Ban, Zoom Call Scraping, Iran-Targeting Wiper, and Cyber Terrorism Insurance

From RSAC 2026, host David Shipley highlights ESET researcher Robert Lipowsky's argument to retire the overused "advanced persistent threat" label and instead describe actors by motivation and activity, noting blurred lines between nation-state and criminal tooling. He also reports RSAC vendor trends (zero trust fading, "agentic AI" everywhere) and standout booth themes. In Washington, the FCC bans authorization of any new Wi‑Fi router models not made in the United States, citing supply-chain risk and attacks like Volt Flax and Salt Typhoon, impacting an industry largely manufacturing abroad unless exemptions are granted with plans to reshore. The episode details Webinar TV allegedly joining public Zoom links to record calls and publish AI-generated podcast recaps, and a Kubernetes-targeting campaign linked to the Trivy supply-chain attack that deploys an Iran-checking wiper. Finally, Treasury seeks comments on expanding the terrorism risk insurance backstop (TRIP) to cover cyber losses.
