    The Future of AI Security is Scaffolding, Agents & The Browser

    Welcome to the 2025 State of AI Security. This year, the conversation has moved beyond simple prompt injection to a far more complex threat: attacking the entire ecosystem surrounding the LLM. In this deep-dive discussion, offensive security experts Jason Haddix (Arcanum Information Security) and Daniel Miessler (Unsupervised Learning) break down the real-world attack vectors they're seeing in the wild. The conversation explores why prompt injection remains an unsolved problem and how the LLM is now being used as a delivery system to attack internal developers and connected applications. We also tackle the critical challenge of incident response, questioning how you can detect or investigate a malicious prompt when privacy regulations in some regions prevent logging and observability. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the true offensive and defensive landscape of AI security, from the DARPA Cyber Challenge to the race for AI to control the browser.

    A CISO's Blueprint for AI Security (From ML to GenAI)

    Is the current AI hype cycle different from the ones that failed before? How do you build a security program for technology that can't give the same answer twice? This episode features a deep-dive conversation with Damian Hasse, CISO of Moveworks and a security veteran from Amazon's Alexa team, VMware, and Microsoft. Damian provides a practical blueprint for securing both traditional Machine Learning (ML) and modern Generative AI (GenAI). We discuss the common pitfalls of newly formed AI Councils, where members may lack the necessary ML background to make informed decisions. He shares his framework for assessing AI risk by focusing on the specific use case, the data involved, and building a multi-layered defense against threats like prompt injection and data leakage. This is an essential guide for any security leader or practitioner tasked with navigating the complexities of AI security, from protecting intellectual property in AI-assisted coding to implementing safeguards for enterprise chatbots.

    Gen AI Threat Modeling vs. AI-Powered Defense:

    Is generative AI a security team's greatest new weapon or its biggest new vulnerability? This episode dives headfirst into the debate with two leading experts on opposite sides of the AI dragon. We 1st published this episode on Cloud Security Podcast and because of the feedback we received from those diving into all things AI Security, we wanted to bring it to those who haven't probably had the chance to hear it yet on this podcast. On one side, discover how to leverage and "tame" AI for your defense. Jackie Bow explains how Anthropic uses its own powerful LLM, Claude, to revolutionize threat detection and response. Learn how AI can be used to: Build investigation and triage tools with incredible speed. Break free from the "black box" of traditional security tools, offering more visibility and control. Creatively "hallucinate" within set boundaries to uncover investigative paths a human might miss. Lower the barrier to entry for security professionals, enabling them to build prototypes and tools without deep coding expertise. On the other side, Kane Narraway provides a masterclass in threat modeling the new landscape of AI systems. He argues that while AI introduces new challenges, many are amplifications of existing SaaS risks. This conversation covers the critical aspects of securing AI, including: Why access, integrations, and authorization are the biggest risk factors in enterprise AI. How to approach threat modeling for both in-house and third-party AI tools. The security challenges of emerging standards like MCP (Meta-Controller Protocol) and the importance of securing the data AI tools can access. The critical need for security teams to adopt AI to keep pace with modern engineering departments.

    Vibe Coding, Slopsquatting, and the Future of AI in Software Development

    In this episode, we welcome back Guy Podjarny, founder of Snyk and Tessl, to explore the evolution of AI-assisted coding. We dive deep into the three chapters of AI's impact on software development, from coding assistants to the rise of "vibe coding" and agentic development. Guy explains what "vibe coding" truly is, a term coined by Andrej Karpathy where developers delegate more control to AI, sometimes without even reviewing the code. We discuss how this opens the door for non-coders to create real applications but also introduces significant risks. Caleb, Ashish and Guy discuss: The Three Chapters of AI-Assisted Coding: The journey from simple code completion to full AI agent-driven development.Vibe Coding Explained: What is it, who is using it, and why it's best for "disposable apps" like prototypes or weekend projects.A New Security Threat - Slopsquatting: Discover how LLMs can invent fake library names that attackers can exploit, a risk potentially greater than typosquatting.The Future of Development: Why the focus is shifting from the code itself—which may become disposable—to the importance of detailed requirements and rigorous testing.The Developer as a Manager: How the role of an engineer is evolving into managing AI labor, defining specifications, and overseeing workflows Questions asked: (00:00) The Evolution of AI Coding Assistants(05:55) What is Vibe Coding?(08:45) The Dangers & Opportunities of Vibe Coding(11:50) From Vibe Coding to Enterprise-Ready AI Agents(16:25) Security Risk: What is "Slopsquatting"?(22:20) Are Old Security Problems Just Getting Bigger?(25:45) Cloud Sprawl vs. App Sprawl: The New Enterprise Challenge(33:50) The Future: Disposable Code, Permanent Requirements(40:20) Why AI Models Are Getting So Good at Understanding Your Codebase(44:50) The New Role of the AI-Native Developer: Spec & Workflow Manager(46:55) Final Thoughts & Favorite Coding Tools Resources spoken about during the episode: AI Native Dev Community Tessl Cursor Bolt BASE44 Vercel
