Episode 386 Deep Dive: Shane Buckley | Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze? The AI Spending Reckoning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shane Buckley, CEO of Gigamon, has watched the AI spending story turn in months. Companies that treated token consumption as a badge of honour are now blowing through their AI budget by day three of the month, with the bill hitting earnings reports and boardrooms. He explains why more tools never meant more security, why he expects rising data centre costs to push token prices up, and why augmentation beats replacement. Then comes the security squeeze. Using his pizza analogy, AI eats the budget
Episode 385 Deep Dive: Reece Corbett-Wilkins | From Crisis to Resilience - Protecting Our Way of Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reece takes us behind the scenes of the Instructure incident, where his team fielded 65 instructions in 48 hours, and explains how a catastrophic cyber event actually gets run across insurers, government and thousands of schools at once. KB & Reece get into the hidden cost almost no one budgets for, business interruption, and what the JLR and Change Healthcare cases reveal about how dependent our economy has become on a handful of suppliers. He also makes the case that AI is quietly splitting se
Episode 384 Deep Dive: Sumedh Thakar | Mythos Turned 30 Days Into 24 Hours. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Mythos hit in April, the security world split between panic and hype. Sumedh Thakar, President and CEO of Qualys, joins KB to make the calmer case that Mythos accelerated an old threat rather than inventing one. They get into why zero-day vulnerabilities now need zero-day remediation, the misread that Mythos runs on your own code while your vendors use it too, the board conversation it reopened, tokenomics and budget pressure, and how much a CISO should really hand to the machines. About Su
Episode 383 Deep Dive: Sarah Sloan | It Still Runs, But Can You Defend It? The End-of-Life Tech Reckoning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The tech running hospitals, power grids and government services often still works. Sarah Sloan, Cisco’s Head of Cybersecurity Policy for APAC, joins KB to explain why that’s the problem, not the reassurance it sounds like. Drawing on a new ASPI report Cisco funded, “Past its use-by-date,” they get into why so much end-of-life tech is still in place (usually budgets and skills, not negligence), how AI and quantum turned a slow-burn risk into an urgent one, and why most organisations still can’t s
Episode 382 Deep Dive: Quinton Anderson | Trust the System, Not the Agent – Zero Trust for the Agentic Enterprise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
KB sits down with Quinton Anderson, founder of Aigentsphere, to challenge one of the most repeated lines in AI governance: that a human in the loop keeps you safe. His view is that asking people to approve task after task just trains them to say yes. They get into why you should never trust an agent but can trust the system around it, why an agent can’t be fully tested before it goes live, and why the brakes are what let you go fast. A sharp look at what it actually takes to govern agents at sca
