AI Security Update

In this episode, we sit down with Jacob Krell, a senior director for Secure AI solutions and cybersecurity at Suzu Labs. Jacob discusses how AI agents are changing offensive security: they can automate multi-step attacks, adapt quickly, and increase the potential impact of a single attacker. He explains why security teams need to focus on permissions, identity checks, guardrails, human oversight, and detailed logging—not just model capabilities. The conversation also touches on how to break into an offensive cybersecurity career through hands-on practice, certifications, labs, and curiosity.*** For educational purposes only *** DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

AI attacks are getting faster, smarter, and harder to stop, and most security teams are still built for a world that no longer exists. Gina Yacone, Regional and Advisory CISO at Trace3, explains why the real threat is not just malicious code, but autonomous, self-healing attacks that move faster than traditional defenses can respond.We talk about the new Anthropic report "Detecting and countering misuse of AI" that was released in September 2026Gina breaks down new AI attack paths, supply chain risk, vendor pivots, runtime security, and the growing blast radius of autonomous threats. She also explains why having a “human in the loop” is not enough—the real question is where humans should sit in the process so they can provide judgment without becoming bottlenecks. This is an essential conversation for security professionals, enterprise leaders, and anyone who wants to understand what AI-enabled attacks mean for their organization, data, and family.Link to Anthropic report: https://www.anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-september-2026

In this episode, Fredrick Wahome, cybersecurity expert and Vice President of the Kenya Cyber Security and Forensics Association, joins the show from Nairobi to explore how AI is reshaping the security landscape across Africa and beyond.We dive into AI-assisted ransomware, ransomware-as-a-service, incident response, offline backups, open-source security risks, threat intelligence, and the growing need for AI-specific security assessments. Fredrick also explains why cybersecurity awareness is struggling to keep pace with AI adoption and what organizations, technical teams, families, and everyday users can do to stay protected.The conversation also explores AI governance and cybersecurity policy across Africa, including the need for security by design and stronger alignment with emerging standards such as ISO 42001.

AI agents are moving fast, and most organizations are not ready for what happens when they get a key, a task, and access. John Morton reveals why the real AI security risk is not just the model - it is the identity, permissions, and guardrails around the digital worker itself. We discuss the recent attacks on water treatment plants as a case study and considerations of using AI in an educational setting. John brings 30+ years in cyber, infrastructure, cloud, and digital transformation, plus his perspective as an adjunct faculty member in George Washington University's cyber analytics program. The conversation goes beyond enterprise risk. John and Anmol get into the growing threat to critical infrastructure, including water systems, power grids, and other legacy environments with technical debt and huge attack surfaces. John lays out what state and local leaders need to do first: understand what they have, map the interconnections, modernize where needed, and make AI security a legislative priority instead of an afterthought.If you care about AI security, cyber policy, critical infrastructure, or the future of education in an AI-driven world, this episode is packed with practical guidance. Essential listening if you want to understand how to keep moving fast with AI without handing over the master key.

The real risk to AI lives in the ecosystem - chips, minerals, data centers, talent, geopolitics, and the criminals already exploiting all of it.Dr. Cuneyt Gurer breaks down why security teams that only focus on the model are missing the bigger picture, and why AI is now colliding with illicit markets, organized crime, and state proxies. Anmol and Dr. Gurer unpack how AI changes the nature of traditional threats. You’ll discover why supply chains matter just as much as prompts, and how sovereign AI is tied to minerals and chip productionDr. Gurer is a professor of international and security studies at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, where he designs courses for security professionals and studies how AI intersects with geopolitics, illicit markets, and defense.
