AI agents are accelerating discovery, automation, and operational change—but enterprise security teams are still operating on human-speed processes.

In this episode of Security Boulevard, Mitch Ashley joins Tom Hollingsworth and Fernando Montenegro to examine what happens when AI-driven systems begin operating at machine speed while traditional security workflows remain constrained by governance, patch cycles, and change management controls.

The conversation explores:

• How AI agents compress vulnerability discovery timelines
• Why automation without operational maturity increases risk
• Whether enterprise security programs are structurally prepared for AI-era velocity
• The growing tension between innovation and control

As AI capabilities expand, the real challenge isn’t just technical—it’s organizational. Security leaders must rethink processes, prioritization, and response frameworks to avoid widening exposure. AI is scaling. Is your security program?

AI is no longer just assisting security teams — it’s actively finding vulnerabilities humans missed.

In this episode of Security Boulevard, Tom Hollingsworth, Alan Shimel, and Fernando Montenegro examine the real-world implications of AI-driven vulnerability discovery after Anthropic allowed Claude to conduct large-scale scanning across open-source projects.

The result? More than 600 vulnerabilities identified — including a long-standing issue in Ghostscript that traditional research had missed for years. The discussion goes beyond headlines.

The panel analyzes:

• Whether AI can outperform human threat researchers • How iterative model reasoning changes vulnerability discovery
• The risks of AI-powered offensive security • What this means for DevSecOps and open-source maintainers •
• Whether AI shifts the balance between defenders and attackers

As AI systems begin to reason across version histories, patch gaps, and architectural inconsistencies, cybersecurity teams face a new reality: automation at machine scale. Is this a breakthrough for defenders — or the beginning of a new attack surface?

If AI can audit every version of your software in seconds, what does that mean for your security posture? Subscribe and join the conversation.

Cybersecurity failures increasingly originate inside the software supply chain.

In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth, Event Lead at Tech Field Day and Networking Industry Analyst, joins Mitch Ashley, Vice President and Practice Lead, Software Lifecycle Engineering at Techstrong Research, along with Steve Puluka, Network & Security Engineer and Network Architect, Tech Field Day Delegate.

They examine supply chain compromises, including incidents involving Notepad++ and software update distribution mechanisms. The conversation highlights why secure code distribution must be treated as an architectural control, not an operational afterthought.

As software ecosystems grow more interconnected, accountability now spans developers, hosting providers, infrastructure operators, and security teams. The traditional shared responsibility model must evolve to address increasingly complex dependency chains and third-party exposure.

The discussion also explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping networking operations, why observability has become foundational to modern security strategy, and how transparency and proactive incident response reduce systemic risk.

Security today is lifecycle discipline across the entire software delivery chain.
