Host David Spark and co-host Eddie Contreras welcome Rob Allen from ThreatLocker to discuss the "vulnpocalypse," arguing that engineering must own vulnerability remediation while security retains oversight. The trio tackles shadow AI, advocating for strict technical controls over ineffective policies, and debates whether Macs are inherently more secure than Windows. They also explore creative hiring strategies to identify problem-solvers amidst AI-generated resumes.
