Today, @almanax transitions from beta to general availability (GA).
What happens when the number of lines of code engineers produce goes up 100x thanks for coding assistants like Cursor? How are security teams supposed to handle that?
We believe AI will change security the same way it’s changing software engineering....

In 2025 I had 451 meetings (not counting the in-person ones with the team), for a total of 585 people met, which apparently is in the top 2% of Circleback users.
I actually hate meetings. I'm very protective of my calendar and skeptical that people in back-to-backs actually get anything done. Unless you're in sales,...

Over the next 5 years we’ll see an intelligence explosion where automated AI researchers and engineers might write billions, or trillions of lines of code.
We won’t understand what they’re doing anymore. Hacking stuff, exfiltrating data or itself, going for the nukes? We won’t be reading all that code anymore, so how ...

We've officially entered the age of "Vibe Hacking".
Anthropic just released a report on a sophisticated cyber espionage campaign carried out by a Chinese state-sponsored group using Anthropic's AI models (see comments).
This is one of the first documented large-scale cyberattacks executed without substantial human...

I recently sat down with Andy to talk about secure vibe coding on his Startups Decoded Podcast.
We break down AI-native AppSec: how LLMs catch more real bugs, cut alert noise, and triage at the pace you ship.
If you and your company ship code fast, you should listen to this.

I just became a book author!
Publishing a book has been on my bucket list since I was a kid, and thanks to Marco, Harpreet, and Brett I got to check that off much earlier than I imagined.
Blockchain Application Security is the result of an effort Marco started in 2018 to address the security threats facing the blockc...

We've been awarded a grant from the OpenAI Cybersecurity Grant Program to push the boundaries of what threats AI can detect in real-world multi-host environments.
Excited to work with the best teams in the world to advance AI x Cyber research!
