A Conversation With Harry Wetherald CO-Founder & CEO At Maze

➡ Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats with AI-Driven Vulnerability Management with Maze:
https://mazehq.com/

In this conversation, I speak with Harry about how AI is transforming vulnerability management and application security. We explore how modern approaches can move beyond endless reports and generic fixes, toward real context-aware workflows that actually empower developers and security teams.

We talk about:

The Real Problem in Vulnerability Management
Why remediation—not just prioritization—remains the toughest challenge, and how AI can help bridge the gap between vulnerabilities and the developers who need to fix them.

Context, Ownership, and Velocity
How linking vulnerabilities to the right applications and teams inside their daily tools (like GitHub) reduces friction, speeds up patching, and improves security without slowing developers down.

AI Agents and the Future of Security
Why we should think of AI agents as “extra eyes and hands,” and how they’re reshaping everything from threat detection to system design, phishing campaigns, and organizational defense models.

Attackers Move First
How attackers are already building unified world models of their targets using AI, and why defenders need to match (or exceed) this intelligence to stay ahead.

From Days to Minutes
Why the tolerance for vulnerability windows is shrinking fast, and how automation and AI are pushing us toward a future where hours—or even minutes—make the difference.

A Conversation with Renée DiResta: Disinformation and Conspiracy Propagation

In this episode, Daniel speaks with Renée DiResta about her work tracking narratives online. They discuss: The different strains of false information Her work at the Stanford Internet Observatory How the same narrative can be used by multiple sides The origin of the Bill Gates conspiracies Mapping campaigns to actor strategies What she recommends others do who are interested in her field Other topics around disinformation, conspiracy, and narrative tracking Renée DiResta is the technical research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory, a cross-disciplinary program of research, teaching and policy engagement for the study of abuse in current information technologies. Renee investigates the spread of malicious narratives across social networks, and assists policymakers in devising responses to the problem.

A Conversation With Leif Dreizler About Security Engineering at Segment

A Conversation With Leif Dreizler About Security Engineering at Segment

So today I’m talking to Leif Dreizler. Leif is a buddy of mine who also works in San Francisco. He’s a developer at a company called Segment, and over the last year or so he’s been telling me about all kinds of cool stuff he’s been working on, how his team is set up, and how they see security teams being built in the future. So we’re going to cover those topics and more in a conversation that ranges from security engineering strategy to solving specific problems through custom tooling.Become a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
