EP275 Google Cloud Next 2026: The AI Earthquake, “SOC-home” Syndrome, and the Ragged Edge of Reality
Topics covered:
- So what have we seen at Google Cloud Next 2026?
- Any closing loops for our 2023-2025 Cloud Next observations?
- We are seeing that AI security is not an island ... what does that tell us about the difference between cloud and AI adoption?
- What does “ragged edge of AI adoption” mean for security?
- Why do people want agents in their SOC? Do they know what gets better?
- What are the most notable and fun announcements?
- With patching speed, are we looking at something which can be overcome by engineering and courage? Or are we looking at something that is truly an impossibility?

EP269 Reflections on RSA 2026 - Beyond AI AI AI AI AI AI AI
Guest:
- No guests! Just Tim and Anton
Topics covered:
- Hard to believe we've been doing these since 2022, is that right?
- What did we see this year at RSA, apart from AI? And more AI? And more AI?
- What framework can we use to understand the approaches vendors take to AI and security? Just saying “AI washing” is not enough!
- How to tell “AI washer” from “AI tourist”?
- I sense that “securing AI” (and agents) is finally growing as fast as "using AI for security”, do you agree?
- Is the AI vulnerability apocalypse coming? Soon?
- Have we seen any signs of AI backlash?

EP223 AI Addressable, Not AI Solvable: Reflections from RSA 2025
Guest:
- no guests, just us in the studio
Topics covered:
- At RSA 2025, did we see solid, measurably better outcomes from AI use in security, or mostly just "sizzle" and good ideas with potential?
- Are the promises of an "AI SOC" repeating the mistakes seen with SOAR in previous years regarding fully automated security operations? Does "AI SOC" work according to RSA floor?
- How realistic is the vision expressed by some [yes, really!] that AI progress could lead to technical teams, including IT and security, shrinking dramatically or even to zero in a few years?
- Why do companies continue to rely on decades-old or “non-leading” security technologies, and what role does the concept of a "organizational change budget" play in this inertia?
- Is being "AI Native" fundamentally better for security technologies compared to adding AI capabilities to existing platforms, or is the jury still out? Got "an AI-native SIEM"? Be ready to explain how is yours better!

EP221 Special - Semi-Live from Google Cloud Next 2025: AI, Agents, Security ... Cloud?
Guest:
- No guests [Tim in Vegas and Anton remote]
Topics covered:
- So, another Next is done. Beyond the usual Vegas chaos, what was the overarching security theme or vibe you [Tim] felt dominated the conference this year?
- Thinking back to Next '24, what felt genuinely different this year versus just the next iteration of last year's trends?
- Last year, we pondered the 'Cloud Island' vs. 'Cloud Peninsula'. Based on Next 2025, is cloud security becoming more integrated with general cyber security, or is it still its own distinct domain?
- What wider trends did you observe, perhaps from the expo floor buzz or partner announcements, that security folks should be aware of?
- What was the biggest surprise for you at Next 2025? Something you absolutely didn't see coming?
- Putting on your prediction hats (however reluctantly): based on Next 2025, what do you foresee as the major cloud security focus or challenge for the industry in the next 12 months?
- If a busy podcast listener listening could only take one key message or action item away from everything announced and discussed at Next 2025, what should it be?
