    Episode 57: Vijay Sarvepalli and Christopher Cullen, FIRSTCON26 Speakers

    In this episode of the First Impressions Podcast, we sit down with Vijay Sarvepalli and Christopher Cullen to unpack the chaotic reality of modern vulnerability coordination. From AI-generated bug reports and patching nightmares to insecure pickle files, Log4j flashbacks, and the race to secure open source software before attackers strike, the conversation dives deep into how security teams can “push left” and automate the path from vulnerability discovery to secure release. Equal parts technical insight, cautionary tale, and therapy session for anyone who survived Log4Shell, this episode explores why fixing vulnerabilities is still harder than finding them, and what the future of coordinated vulnerability disclosure might look like in an AI-driven world.
