100. Why Your Employees' Favorite AI Tool Might Be Leaking Your Data
Every employee at your company probably has ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini installed, and nobody's tracking what data goes where. Xia Hua, co-founder and CEO of Traceforce, came back a year after her first appearance to show us what that looks like from the inside. Her team's open source scanner, MCP X-Ray, found a prompt injection flaw in Playwright, one of the most widely used MCPs, and she triggered it live with a single sentence. We also get into Anthropic's report on the espionage campaign that used Claude and a set of MCPs against about 30 organizations. And the bigger problem underneath it all, that data and instructions are now co-mingled, so any tool that reads text can be told what to do by that text.

99. AI Onboarding Is a Security Problem, Not a Feature (with Ged Ossman)
Enterprises blame vendors. Vendors blame enterprises. Nobody does a pre-flight check. Ged Ossman, founder of Interf, joins the show to explain why AI adoption keeps stalling out mid-flight, and how a shared protocol for agent context and permissions could finally fix the trust gap between security teams and AI vendors. Recorded in January 2026.

97. The God-Level Hacker: How One Founder Is Building the World's Most Powerful Offensive Cyber Tool (with Alexis Lingad)
A hacker who got kicked out of college for finding their vulnerabilities, became a national hacking champion, and is now building what he calls a sovereign-level cyber weapon. Alexis Lingad, founder of Kinosec, built an autonomous AI system that chains exploits across web, IoT, and physical infrastructure the same way a real attacker would, and he's already using it to sell AI pen testing to enterprise security teams. Tune in to hear how he's building the weapon before the bad guys do.

P96. They Don't Need to Hack You Now. They Just Need to Wait. (with Kevin Kane)
Google has said to be concerned about quantum computing by 2029. Kevin Kane, Co-Founder and CEO of American Binary, argues that timeline is already too relaxed and that companies treating post-quantum as a future problem are the ones most exposed right now. He breaks down what a real quantum-resilient architecture takes, why formal verification matters, and what harvest attacks mean for every encrypted message sent today.

95. Stop Saying No: How Security Leaders Enable AI Instead of Blocking It (with Pranava Adduri and George Gerchow)
Security incidents don't end when the threat is contained. They end when you can confirm no sensitive data left the building and most teams can't confirm that. Pranava Adduri and George Gerchow of Bedrock Data joined the show to talk through what data visibility actually looks like at enterprise scale, why the office of no is dead, and what a DBOM has to do with AI compliance. Together they make the case that data-first security isn't just a better posture, it's the only posture that survives an AI-driven enterprise.

93. The Conversation Nobody’s Having About AI (with Jacob Andra and Stephen Karafiath)
The biggest AI mistake companies make isn't picking the wrong tool, it's not understanding the dependencies underneath it. Jacob and Stephen from Talbot West share how they map entire organizations to find the right AI entry point, why LLMs are overhyped, and what technologies are actually underrated right now.
