In Episode 9 of WebMethod Unplugged, Robert McKay sits down with Feite Kraay, Senior Strategic Advisor at NoviPro Group, to explore how artificial intelligence and quantum computing are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape.

As organisations adopt AI to increase productivity and automate tasks, new risks are emerging just as quickly. From prompt injection and data poisoning to slop squatting and AI driven cyber attacks, the conversation examines how threat actors are already leveraging these technologies.

The discussion also moves into the growing quantum threat to encryption. As quantum computing advances, the cryptographic systems that secure today’s internet and digital infrastructure may eventually become vulnerable, forcing organisations to rethink their long term security strategies.

This episode breaks down what leaders need to understand today to prepare for the next wave of technological disruption.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• How AI is expanding the cyber attack surface • Prompt injection and emerging AI security risks • Data poisoning and slop squatting attacks • Why organisations must keep humans in the loop when using AI • The future quantum threat to modern encryption • Practical steps organisations can take to prepare today

If you are leading AI adoption, cybersecurity strategy, or digital transformation, this conversation will help you understand both the opportunities and the risks ahead.

In Episode 8 of Webmethod Unplugged, Robert McKay sits down with Vito Foderaro, technology leader at IBM, to unpack the operational realities of Agentic AI, governance, and emerging quantum risk.

As enterprises move beyond generative AI into autonomous workflows, the conversation shifts from experimentation to accountability. Vito explains why governance and security are often conflated, how uncontrolled AI spending can spiral quickly, and why foundational business discipline remains the most important safeguard.

The discussion also explores quantum readiness, the concept of Q-Day, and why organizations must begin preparing for cryptographic disruption now, not when it arrives.

This episode delivers a clear message: AI transformation requires inventory, cross functional leadership, and sound business principles.

In Episode 7 of Webmethod Unplugged, we explore what it truly means to secure organisations beyond traditional perimeter defence.

Titled Security Beyond The Firewall, this conversation features Microsoft security specialist Camila Martins, who brings deep insight into identity security, organisational risk, and the cultural shifts required to build resilient cyber environments.

As threat actors move beyond networks and endpoints, identity, access, and human behaviour have become the new battlegrounds. This episode examines why modern cybersecurity is no longer just a technology conversation, but a business and leadership priority.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why identity is now the first line of defence • How human behaviour influences organisational risk • The business impact of poor access and privilege management • Security culture versus compliance driven security • Microsoft’s approach to modern security architecture • The evolution toward passwordless authentication • Practical steps to strengthen cyber resilience without slowing productivity

Whether you are a business leader, IT decision maker, or security professional, this episode offers practical perspective on navigating today’s identity driven threat landscape while building a culture of shared security responsibility.
