Sponsored by Vanta. Vanta takes the busywork out of GRC so you can focus on what actually matters—improving your security, not chasing compliance. https://ul.live/vanta

This isn’t just another AI podcast. It’s about the deeper shift that’s happening in cybersecurity—away from individual tools and dashboards, and toward real-time, comprehensive world models of what we’re trying to protect or attack. I'll walk through how I came to this idea, what it means for security assessments, red teaming, vuln management, and beyond—and why context, not AI, is the actual revolution.

📽️Check out the full video here: https://youtu.be/UwTTcka1Wd8

Topics covered: 
Why the core problem in security is organizational knowledge
Unified Entity Context (UEC) as the future architecture
Modular, AI-augmented security stacks
Why every attacker and defender will soon be running one
How this flips the AI conversation on its head

If you care about where hacking, automation, and AI are headed—this is the blueprint.
