Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, Adaptive Security

This episode is brought to you by Adaptive Security, the first cybersecurity company backed by OpenAI. Attackers don't need malware anymore; they need trust. Tip: set a simple passphrase for high-risk actions, like wire requests or "urgent" account recovery – especially within finance teams and families. If the caller can't answer it, pause and verify. Adaptive runs deepfake and vishing simulations so employees practice this before it's real. adaptivesecurity.com.
