    #572: How Cisco Protects AI Agents in Modern Data Centers

    2026/03/31 | 14 mins.
    Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam 2026.

    Join David as he sits down with Cisco's Dave West (SVP, Global Specialists), to unpack the technical reality behind the OneCisco platform. Dive deep into how Cisco is transitioning from traditional networking into a platform-centric powerhouse that seamlessly integrates secure networking, AI, and cybersecurity. This discussion explores the convergence of networking and security through the Splunk acquisition, the infrastructure of AI-ready data centers powered by NVIDIA's Spectrum X and NVLink, and the rollout of agentic operations. Discover how micro-segmentation, Zero Trust access, and hybrid cloud solutions are solving the
    complexities of modern, distributed workforces. Whether you are managing on-premise infrastructure, hybrid environments, or preparing your network for the AI revolution, this deep dive covers the essential reference architectures and visibility tools you need to secure your enterprise.

    Big thank you to DeleteMe for sponsoring this video. Use my link http://jointdeleteme.com/Bombal to receive a 20% discount or use the QR code in the video.

    Welcome back to the channel! In this deep dive, Stephen returns to break down the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in cybersecurity. We explore the critical differences between offensive AI (using AI to enhance attacks) and adversarial AI (attacking the AI models themselves). Learn the mechanics behind prompt injection, LLM jailbreaking, and how vector databases are structured. We also analyze real-world case studies, including Google Project Zero's Big Sleep autonomous zero-day agent, and demonstrate how new AI-driven tools are being used for patch diffing and root cause analysis. Finally, we tackle the massive industry question: will AI replace human penetration testers, and what steps should you take right now to futureproof your tech career? Plus, a quick look at how automated agents are tackling API vulnerabilities like BOLA.

    #570: 100 Terabit Smart Switches: What You Need to Know

    2026/03/31 | 36 mins.
    Thank you to Cisco for sponsoring my trip to the Cisco AI Lab in San Jose.

    In this deep dive into the future of data center networking, we sit down to explore the massive shifts happening in AI infrastructure. We discuss the rollout of new 100 terabit smart switches and firewalls powered by the Cisco Silicon One G300 chip, alongside the highly anticipated NVIDIA Spectrum 6. Discover the critical debate between Ethernet and InfiniBand for scaling AI clusters, the complexities of co-packaged optics (CPO) versus linear packaged optics (LPO), and how agentic AI and tools like Claude are revolutionizing legacy C code refactoring. From managing data center power
    constraints to enforcing security policies directly on DPUs, this conversation covers the hardware and software transformations you need to know to stay ahead in network engineering.

    #569: Why Vibe Hacking Is a Big Cybersecurity Threat in 2026

    2026/03/30 | 1h 15 mins.
    Big thank you to Radware for sponsoring this video. Download the Radware Global Threat Analysis Report 2026 here: https://www.radware.com/threat-analys...

    In this interview, David Bombal sits down with Radware's Pascal Geenens to unpack the realities of the latest global threat report. The cybersecurity landscape has experienced a major paradigm shift: the era of "Vibe Hacking" is here. Pascal explains how Agentic AI, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and uncensored offline models (like DeepSeek-R1) have created a "digital garden of Eden" for adversaries.

    Discover how novice script kiddies are now use the power of AI hacking which once strictly reserved for nation-state actors. We dive deep into the automation of cyber attacks, the rise of AI-driven tools like Xantarox AI, the critical dangers of AI-generated code vulnerabilities, and why traditional defense mechanisms are struggling to keep up with non-deterministic AI threats.
