AI review
A genuine war-story from a niche-but-critical piece of infrastructure that most security folks never think about. The maritime operational context is legitimately interesting, and the insider-threat-via-coercion framing is the one moment the talk rises above the ordinary. But the technical content is largely a curated checklist of established defensive practices rather than anything novel, and the CVE-2024-3400 walkthrough is well-documented public analysis, not original research.
