About This Podcast
Welcome to Zero Day Logs, the podcast that dissects the most consequential cybersecurity breaches of our time. We go beyond the headlines to reconstruct exactly how the world's most heavily defended networks are actually dismantled—focusing not just on the technical exploits, but the structural flaws, human errors, and critical executive decisions that determine who survives and who pays.
From billion-dollar hospitality empires brought to a standstill by a single, well-researched phone call to an IT help desk , to global identity gatekeepers compromised by contractor laptops and standard diagnostic files, each episode maps the attack path step-by-step. We break down the underlying enterprise architecture—explaining concepts like multi-factor authentication, federated identity, and zero-trust frameworks—so you understand the mechanics of the collapse.
Whether you are a security professional defending a network, or simply someone trying to understand how the digital infrastructure we all depend on actually fails, Zero Day Logs provides the unvarnished autopsy. We explore the uncomfortable reality of modern digital defense: that the weakest link is rarely a piece of software, but the human processes and vendor relationships where trust is extended and verification is skipped.
