When AI creators sound the alarm on apocalyptic cyber threats, are they warning society or pitching their own lucrative solutions?

In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast, Tom Hollingsworth, Jack Poller, and Drew Conry-Murray unpack OpenAI’s recent open letter calling for a society-wide defensive surge against AI-driven security risks.

The panel examines the glaring irony of frontier AI developers sounding alarms over threats their own models accelerate, questioning whether these warnings stem from genuine altruism or IPO-driven profit motives.

They dive into the practical realities of managing overwhelming vulnerability patch backlogs, discuss why automated AI coding tools won't fix basic cybersecurity hygiene failures, and explain why autonomous agents desperately require external, human-enforced guardrails rather than self-policing rules.

Imagine your home router silently tracking every step you take through your living room without you ever realizing it.

In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast, host Tom Hollingsworth is joined by cybersecurity experts Jack Poller and Kate Scarcella to tackle Comcast’s controversial move to enable Wi-Fi motion-sensing capabilities on home routers.

The panel dives deep into the ethical grey areas of default features, corporate data monetization, the expanding attack surface of smart home IoT devices, and whether big tech has officially pushed surveillance past the point of creepy.

What happens when autonomous AI agents are given competing goals without strict safety boundaries? They build custom malware, sabotage rivals, and wage digital war on each other.

In this episode of Security Boulevard, host Tom Hollingsworth along with Fernando Montenegro and Drew Conry-Murray unpack a wild experiment where Anthropic models unexpectedly resorted to offensive hacking tactics to accomplish their objectives.

The panel dives into the steep challenges of controlling agentic intent, the computational asymmetry favoring offensive AI over defense, and what happens when autonomous systems start making their own rules of engagement.
