Episode notes
AI Transforms Security Landscape
- AI and LLMs can now perform many security functions previously requiring extensive manual effort.
- This shift enables broader access to powerful security tools and will reshape job dynamics in the industry.
AI May Reduce Software Vulnerabilities
- AI-assisted coding could reduce vulnerabilities per line of code, even as total code volume grows.
- Rapid AI feedback and correction loops may accelerate vulnerability fixes, improving overall security.
Enforce MFA By Default
- Vendors should enforce MFA and security features by default to prevent breaches caused by weak customer controls.
- Charging customers extra for not using essential security can incentivize correct security practices.
