Innovation Without Data Security Risk as AI Unlocks Budgets and Identity Challenges - Tony Kelly - BSW #451 Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

AI is reshaping innovation as businesses embed it into core operations and move more processes online. This transformation is often seen as a tradeoff between innovation and data risk, but that assumption is wrong. Businesses can innovate and scale in the AI era while maintaining strong data security, ensuring protection, compliance, and control remain intact.

Scanner Results Are a Starting Point. Here's What Comes Next. - Federico Kirschbaum - ASW #386 Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

Most AppSec teams are working through more findings than their teams can validate. SAST surfaces thousands of potential issues. DAST generates alert volume that outpaces triage capacity. Somewhere in that output are the vulnerabilities that matter, the ones that are actually exploitable in production. This conversation explores why automated testing often stops short of the hardest part of the job: proving what is real. We dig into how business logic flaws and authorization vulnerabilities get missed by tools that scan without reasoning, what exploit validation looks like at runtime, and how security engineers are shifting toward findings that developers will actually act on.

The segment is sponsored by XBOW. Visit https://securityweekly.com/xbow to see how autonomous AI pentesting delivers expert-quality findings in hours with real exploit validation your team can actually act on.

The State of AI in SecOps, the Unintended Consequences of Vulnmaxxing, and the News - Filip Stojkovski - ESW #462 Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

Interview with Filip Stojkovski on the State of AI in SecOps

Filip joins us to talk through the 2+ year rollercoaster that Security Operations tooling has been on since AI entered the chat. We discuss the AI SecOps market, which Filip closely tracks through his SecOps Unpacked project. We also discuss how most of the market has traditionally been focused on the "middle" of the process, which is effectively alert management. Where the conversation really gets interesting is shifting left to discuss building better quality detections.

Segment Resources:

Be sure to check out SecOps Unpacked - it has more than just vendor information: there are articles, frameworks, podcast episodes, research, and articles/thought leadership

Topic: The Unintended Consequences of Vulnmaxxing

We discuss my latest blog post where I share a theory that perhaps Project Glasswing is a clever exclusive freemium tier, where Anthropic is hoping to ensnare the world's largest producers of software into using its most expensive model to fix their code for the foreseeable future, creating a much needed new revenue stream for the AI giant with a Trillion dollar valuation.

There are some potential unintended consequences that come along with an expensive vulnerability discovery/remediation process that threatens to raise the security poverty line and leave less wealthy companies behind.

BadHost, Dead CTFs, Exploding NPMs, and the Verizon DBIR - ASW #385 Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

We dedicate an episode to catching up on appsec news with Kalyani Pawar. We see parsing problems that led to the BadHost vuln, which exposed lots of LLMs, MCPs, and agents to potential compromise. We wonder where to look for security education and practice as the camaraderie of the CTF community becomes infiltrated by LLMs. We talk about the tradeoffs in trust between using public packages vs. having agents write replacements from scratch. And we examine some of the appsec details that the Verizon DBIR reveals about how orgs are being attacked -- and how orgs might use that information to protect themselves.

Helping defense's use of AI catch up with offense, cost of the vulnpocalypse, news - Evan Powell - ESW #461 Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Interview with Evan Powell - Generative and agentic AI are improving cyberattacks faster than they're improving cyber defenses.

Offensive folks have been having the most luck with AI so far, which is further eroding any advantage defenders might have had. Evan Powell joins us to share some ideas on how defenders can get some benefits from AI as well, and why open source is important with this approach.

Topic

For this week’s topic segment, we’ve got two very interesting data sources.

The first is Anthropic’s first update on Project Glasswing, where they’re absolutely tearing through codebases with ultra premium Mythos tokens, but then hitting a human-shaped bottleneck as they attempt to validate all the findings.

The second is the first report from Root Evidence, the latest startup from Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen (aka RSnake), which aims to help organizations filter out all the vulnerabilities that don’t matter.

Where these two reports meet in the middle is my concern that the use of AI to scour every last bug out of code is going to be the most Sisyphean task the cybersecurity industry has ever come up with (and we have some deep experience here).
