The One With Heather Adkins and Security (and AI)

Join us on The Prodcast as we host Heather Adkins, leader of Google's Office of Cybersecurity Resilience, for a critical look at the future of digital defenses. We explore the intersection of SRE and security , unpacking the "Secure by Design" philosophy and the shared DNA of incident management.

Heather candidly discusses the rise of "Agentic AI hackers" and polymorphic malware , revealing how defenders can use AI to stay ahead. From "castle" defense strategies to "nodal biology" theories, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the new era of AI-driven threats.
