  • Is AI security actually a physical problem?

    Is AI security actually a physical problem?
    Jul 30 2026
    While AI might seem abstract, something that lives in "the cloud" is concrete. The AI applications we use every day run on GPUs in physical buildings, and Mark Houpt secures them. As Chief Information Security Officer at DataBank, he's watched those data centers go from anonymous warehouses to national security targets almost overnight. Mark joins hosts Johnny Hand and Dustin Childs to make the case that the AI era is, at its core, a physical security problem, and why the security fundamentals you already know still work, even when applied to threats that didn't exist two years ago. You'll learn: How GPU scarcity and government export controls turned ordinary data centers into national security targets How the data center threat map has evolved - from employee badge slip-ups to nation-states, “laptop farm” fraud, and foreign-backed activism Why compartmentalization is back at the center of the cybersecurity playbook, including the individual disk and the cage. Why stick around: Mark hands you a working checklist for securing AI at the physical layer: how it’s being targeted, who's coming for it, and what to do about it.

  • Who governs your AI agents?

    Who governs your AI agents?
    Jul 16 2026
    Your team spent a decade maturing privileged access management. Then AI agents arrived and they don’t log in like humans. Now your biggest insider threat is an AI agent that lacks the access it needs, and then it goes to get it. In this episode Sundari Parekh, VP of AI Security and Cyber Risk Advisory for TrendAI™, addresses a hard truth: PAM was never fully solved, and non-human identity and agentic AI are amplifying the gap. Her fix: stop building a separate AI team, upend your identity thinking, and shift from gatekeeping AI adoption to safely enabling it. You'll learn: Why 'least privilege' breaks down with agentic AI Why non-human identity covers more than service accounts, and where the real exposure lies How your existing PAM work is the agentic-identity head start most teams overlook Why stick around: Your already-stretched security team now supports an AI-native mandate. Sundari lays out how to govern the explosion of non-human identities before shadow AI does it for you.

  • Is the next frontier model your biggest threat or your best defender?

    Is the next frontier model your biggest threat or your best defender?
    Jul 2 2026
    If you think the recent wave of AI-discovered vulnerabilities is a problem, Rob Bair of Anthropic has a reframe for you. Discovery is the easy part. Closing the remediation gap is now the defining security challenge. Drawing on his experience in the Navy, in national security, and now frontier AI, Rob shares with host Johnny Hand what frontier models like Mythos actually mean for security leaders, and how defenders can keep pace when nation-state actors are already running autonomous attacks. You’ll learn: What to do now that the discovery-to-exploitation window has collapsed and what that means for your patch cadence Why the answer to addressing AI-discovered vulnerabilities isn’t a single tool; it’s getting back to cybersecurity basics What Anthropic’s GTG-1002 disclosure reveals about fully autonomous, AI-driven cyber kill chains used by nation-state actors Why stick around: Learn how you can embrace frontier AI without losing sight of the operational fundamentals that ultimately determine organizational resilience.
