    Cyber Breaches At AI Speed: What Needs To Change

    If a cyber breach can happen in 25 minutes but it takes days to contain, are organisations already too late? New cloud security findings from Palo Alto Networks point to a stark reality: attackers are now operating at machine speed, fuelled by AI. Nearly every organisation surveyed reported at least one attack on its AI systems in the past year. APIs are becoming key entry points. Identity weaknesses are driving incidents. And security teams are still juggling an average of 17 tools while trying to respond in real time. As companies race to deploy faster using AI and automated development tools, they may be expanding their exposure just as quickly. Prevention remains critical. But resilience and response speed are fast becoming the true differentiators. Elad Koren, Vice President of Product Management for Cortex Cloud at Palo Alto Networks, joins us to examine what breaks first under machine-speed attacks and what needs to change to keep up. We explore: Why the shift from prevention to response speed is becoming the new baseline. What AI poisoning really means, and how intentional sabotage of AI systems could play out. Why APIs have become both the connective tissue and a growing vulnerability in modern cloud environments. The identity challenge in cloud and AI systems, and why identity now functions as the last line of defence. Why manual data reviews are becoming a liability at cloud scale. Whether the traditional separation between cloud security and the SOC still makes sense in the AI era. This is not just about stronger tools. It is about whether organisational design, security workflows, and accountability structures are built for threats that now move at machine speed.

    RTO, AI And The Leadership Gap

    Are organisations becoming more efficient, but more fragile? As companies mandate return-to-office, flatten structures and automate roles, leadership depth, trust and internal mobility may be quietly eroding. Anthony Raja Devadoss, Country Managing Director of Korn Ferry Malaysia, examines how return-to-office is reshaping the employee deal, the unintended risks of removing middle managers, and why AI-driven restructuring demands more than cost discipline. The conversation also turns to HR’s own credibility test — whether AI ambition is outpacing capability, and what CHROs must do to earn and sustain a truly strategic seat at the table.

    From Prime Time To Scroll Time

    Prime time once dictated how we watched entertainment. Today, algorithms and endless feeds have replaced schedules, and audiences are consuming more content than ever, yet often feeling more fatigued by choice. As studios consolidate their content and short-form platforms reshape attention spans, what does this shift mean for the future of storytelling and the business of media? We explore the move from “prime time” to “scroll time” with Amin Ashaari, Co-Founder of SoyaCincau. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Zombie Shops: Why 50% Of TikTok Merchants Have 0 Sales

    On TikTok Shop, if your content doesn’t convert, you don’t exist. TikTok Shop in the U.S. jumped from $9 billion in GMV in 2024 to $15.1 billion in 2025. But this growth didn’t come from charismatic live hosts or viral "Shoppertainment." It was powered by the static, boring "Shop Tab", good old search-based shopping. Teng Ian Wong, Insights Manager at Momentum Works, joins BFM to dive into why American consumers are favouring traditional search over live streams, and compares this to Southeast Asia’s $45.6 billion mature ecosystem. We discuss: The Shop Tab Takeover: Why the static marketplace now outpaces live shopping (only 14% of US GMV) and why Americans prefer to "search and compare." The "Zombie Store" Plague: Why over 50% of the 800,000+ U.S. TikTok Shops recorded zero sales, and the high barrier to algorithmic success. Southeast Asia vs. The US: A look at Thailand’s outsized performance ($11.5B) compared to Malaysia ($6.2B), and the structural differences in labour costs that make US live streaming expensive. The "Horse Racing" Strategy: How smart brands are surviving high influencer churn by betting on multiple accounts rather than a single "mega-influencer." Logistics & Pricing: The move toward a "Fulfilled by TikTok" model to rival Amazon, and why prices dropped in 15 out of 27 categories. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Heritage in The Experience Economy

    Is Kwai Chai Hong preserving heritage, or curating it for a modern audience? As Visit Malaysia Year 2026 gathers pace, cultural spaces are becoming tourism assets and brand platforms. So, where does authenticity sit when heritage intersects with sponsorship, spectacle and commercial realities? Zeen Chang, Co-Founder of Kwai Chai Hong, discusses the fine line between community and commodity. We examine whether restoration inevitably becomes curation, how corporate partnerships shape cultural storytelling, and what it means to protect integrity when culture becomes part of a national narrative. We also explore the economics behind experiential heritage, the risks of aesthetic theatre, and the principles Zeen refuses to compromise on as Kwai Chai Hong continues to evolve.

    Fair Fares, Broken Roads: Rethinking Mobility In A Congested Nation

    As traffic congestion worsens across the Klang Valley and e-hailing fares surge to eye-watering levels during peak hours, mobility in Malaysia is no longer just about getting from point A to B. It is becoming a question of fairness, affordability, productivity, and long-term planning. With commuters losing hours on the road, costs rising, and public frustration mounting, the cracks in our transport ecosystem are becoming harder to ignore. We speak to Wan Agyl Wan Hassan, CEO of MARA Liner and Founder of My Mobility Vision, to unpack what is really happening beneath the surface. From the economics of surge pricing and the public’s growing distrust of platform mobility, to the deeper structural issues shaping how Malaysians move, this conversation explores what a fair and functional mobility system should look like. We examine the role of public transport, the limits of infrastructure-first thinking, and the policy choices that could determine whether Malaysia builds a more equitable system or remains stuck in a cycle of congestion and cost.

    Why Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Yet: Fixing SEA’s Power Market

    In the last four years, Southeast Asia’s electricity demand has surged by 24%. Yet, despite the falling cost of renewables, nearly 80% of that new demand was met by coal and gas. The problem isn't the technology, it's a "locked-in" market structure that indirectly blocks the green transition Alexandre Salesse, Partner at BCG, explains how the "Single Buyer" model and "Take or Pay" contracts have created a reliability gold standard at the cost of future flexibility. He also unpacks the four critical reform levers needed to modernise the grid without triggering blackouts or investor flight. Learn about: The Physics of Power: Why electricity is a unique commodity that requires a perfect "bicycle balance" between production and consumption. The "Sunk Cost" of Coal: How long-term contracts force utilities to prioritise fossil fuels they’ve already paid for, leaving no room for cheaper solar. Unbundling for Competition: The necessity of separating power purchasers from plant owners to resolve built-in conflicts of interest. The ASEAN Power Grid: Why it took 14 years to negotiate one wind farm and how a regional framework could fast-track future cross-border projects. Targeted Subsidies: Moving away from hidden "blanket" subsidies toward transparent, time-bound support for those who need it most. Avoiding Wishful Thinking: Why Southeast Asia shouldn't aim for immediate, Western-style liberalisation, but rather incremental "flexibility levers."

    Talent as Infrastructure: Building the Capability Behind Innovation

    What does it really take to turn innovation into consistent delivery? In this episode, the focus shifts from capital and programmes to the people behind the progress. Because while funding can accelerate ideas, it is talent, skills, and experience that determine whether companies can execute, compete, and grow. We speak to Ts. Hj. Mohammad Hazani Hj. Hassan, Group CEO, MTDC, about why talent development sits at the centre of Malaysia’s innovation journey, how companies build capability through real-world environments and advisory support, and what it takes to raise standards across industries. From hands-on training and technology centres to industry-aligned learning and execution support, this conversation explores how strengthening talent can help turn innovation into long-term, sustainable growth.
