The vulnpocalypse might not be so bad after all

Explore the podcast → https://ibm.biz/~7vUKC9XTD Depending on who you ask, the AI-driven vulnpocalypse is either the end of cybersecurity as we know it or a lot of hot air. This week on Security Intelligence, host Patrick Austin sits down with Giacomo Casoni, Brad Lair and Norman Dorsch to dig into a new report suggesting the AI vulnerability surge might be more manageable than feared—as long as organizations shift their focus from patching to validation. Then: Researchers caught AI agents secretly turning public wikis into makeshift message boards, apparently coordinating with each other to get around their own restrictions. How can we trust them with critical cybersecurity workflows? Plus, the ShinyHunters gang proves that old-school vishing can still beat multifactor authentication, no AI required. Finally, Shweta Jain, Head of Promontory at IBM Consulting, joins the show to talk about her new piece with Stephen Coraggio on why quantum computing and AI-powered threats are forcing banks to rethink cyber resilience.
