    AP_EP86 - Is AI Killing AppSec… or Making It More Critical?

    Send us Fan Mail Is AI making application security obsolete, or exposing new risks we don’t fully understand? In Episode 86 of Application Paranoia, Colin Bell is joined by Rob Cuddy and Kris Duer to challenge the growing narrative driven in part by Anthropic that AI-powered development could replace traditional AppSec. The team explores whether AI is accelerating productivity at the expense of understanding, and what that means for developers, security teams, and organisations trying to keep pace. They also discuss:  Whether AI is changing how we think (and learn)  The risks of “vibe coding” and over-reliance on LLMs  Why AppSec isn’t disappearin but evolving  Key findings from the latest AppSec trends report, including AI adoption, API visibility gaps, and ownership challenges And of course, a new term is born: confidence laundering.

The discussion then pivots to the core topic of digital identity in an age where emails, chats, and advanced AI can fake voices and images. Kinny highlights the critical role of biometrics—like facial, palm, and gait recognition—while unpacking the challenges of ensuring liveness and authenticity. The conversation tackles the limitations of current authentication methods (passwords, devices, biometrics), the risks of centralized identity systems, and the promise of decentralized solutions for greater privacy and control. Kinny also introduces Trust Stamp’s innovative approach of using biometric tokens and data shards to enhance both security and user privacy. For listeners seeking practical advice, the episode covers essential tips for protecting your digital identity: monitoring your credit report to combat synthetic identity fraud, using unique email addresses, and educating children and grandparents about the dangers of deepfakes and the importance of verification. The episode concludes with Kinny’s emphasis on using a combination of something you know, something you have, and something you are for strong authentication—and the urgent need to keep evolving digital identity protections as technology rapidly advances. Key Takeaways: Digital identity is increasingly complex due to new technologies and AI.Biometrics offer promise but also introduce new challenges.Decentralized identity solutions may offer better privacy and control.Practical tips: monitor credit reports, use unique emails, and educate about deepfakes and verification.
