The rise of AI agents is more than a tooling upgrade - it's a fundamental rewiring of the entire developer experience, with your APIs at the very center. We're joined by Matt DeBergalis, co-founder and then-CTO-now-CEO (congrats Matt!) of Apollo GraphQL, to explore this massive transformation. He introduces the emerging concept of "agent experience," explaining why systems built for human developers are not ready for the unprecedented scale of AI calling APIs.Matt argues that as the old rules of software development get re-evaluated, engineering leaders must rethink their entire stack. He presents a powerful analogy: a structured data layer like a graph is the perfect "left brain" for the "right brain" creativity of LLMs. This provides the semantic precision and guardrails needed for AI to act reliably, enabling a future where user experiences are personalized "to 11" and APIs become the core business asset. This conversation is a crucial guide for leaders on how to prepare by prioritizing higher-level system design, and why clear communication and architecture are becoming far more critical than handwriting code.Check out:The DevEx guide to AI-driven software developmentDownload: The 6 trends shaping the future of AI-driven development Follow the hosts:Follow BenFollow AndrewFollow today's guest(s):Explore Apollo GraphQL's graph infrastructure and MCP tooling: ApolloDevConnect with Matt on LinkedInConnect with Andrew Boyagi on LinkedInReferenced in today's show:Anthropic caps Claude Code usageOpenAI introduces study modeReady or not, age verification is rolling out across the internetAtlassian research: AI adoption is rising, but friction persistsSupport the show: Subscribe to our Substack Leave us a review Subscribe on YouTube Follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn Offers: Learn about Continuous Merge with gitStream Get your DORA Metrics free forever
What if your engineering team didn't just write code, but owned product discovery, wrote the launch messaging, and handled early sales? In this episode, Michael Grinich, CEO and founder of WorkOS, deconstructs their playbook for collapsing the product/engineering stack: no design leads, only one PM, and engineers who own product end-to-end. Michael breaks down how they teach product thinking, build with deep customer insight, and why his most important job is often to "cut scope." You'll learn how to remove the "lossy translation layers" between teams, build a culture of curiosity and customer obsession, and ship higher-quality products, faster.ABOUT MICHAEL GRINICHMichael is the founder and CEO of WorkOS, a developer platform that enables companies to become Enterprise Ready through features like Single Sign-On (SAML). Their customers include many of the fastest-growing startups including Webflow, Drata, Loom, and +200 others. Before WorkOS, Michael co-founded Nylas and studied CS at MIT.

Aujourd'hui, on parle de Claude, l'intelligence artificielle d'Anthropic.Pourquoi ? Parce qu'elle vient de franchir un cap. Cette IA peut désormais automatiser le fonctionnement d'outils logiciels comme Canva, Asana, Figma, Stripe ou encore Notion.Claude devient un véritable assistant numérique capable de se connecter à vos applications du quotidien.Un véritable agent autonome d'IAD'abord, pour faire cela, Claude passe d'un simple chatbot à un véritable agent autonome d'IA.Grâce à une nouvelle fonctionnalité baptisée « Connectors », Claude peut désormais accéder à vos données professionnelles, les utiliser pour générer des contenus ou mettre à jour vos outils, tout ça en un clic.Par exemple, vous pouvez demander à Claude de créer un rapport financier à partir des données de Stripe, ou encore de générer un design Canva basé sur un brief rédigé dans Apple Notes.Alors comment cela fonctionne ?Tout repose sur ce que Anthropic appelle le protocole “Model Context Protocol”, dit aussi MCP.Ce protocole permet à Claude de se connecter à vos outils tout en respectant la sécurité de vos données. Une fois que vous avez cliqué sur “Connect” pour autoriser l'accès, Claude peut interagir avec vos documents, tâches ou fichiers en contexte, sans jamais avoir à copier-coller d'un outil à l'autre.Alors voyons maintenant quels sont les usage concrets.Quels sont les usage concrets ?Prenons un exemple simple. Un chef de projet peut demander à Claude de lire un compte-rendu de réunion, de mettre à jour les tâches Asana correspondantes, et même de générer un tableau de suivi dans Notion.Et voici un autre exemple. Un designer peut créer des maquettes dans Figma ou Canva à partir d'un prompt. Résultat, plus besoin de basculer entre les outils, tout se passe dans l'interface de Claude.Cette évolution marque donc une étape importante vers ce qu'on appelle les agents IA. C'est à dire des systèmes capables non seulement de répondre à vos questions, mais aussi et surtout d'agir à votre place dans vos environnements numériques.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

AI is more than LLMs. Machine learning algorithms have been part of infosec solutions for a long time. For appsec practitioners, a key concern is always going to be how to evaluate the security of software or a system. In some cases, it doesn't matter if a human or an LLM generated code -- the code needs to be reviewed for common flaws and design problems. But the creation of MCP servers and LLM-based agents is also adding a concern about what an unattended or autonomous piece of software is doing. Sohrob Kazerounian gives us context on how LLMs are designed, what to expect from them, and where they pose risk and reward to modern software engineering.

In this episode of Detection at Scale, Jack speaks with Erik Bloch, VP of Security, Illumio, about why most security operations teams aren't ready for AI tools and what fundamental processes must be in place first. Erik challenges the industry's obsession with new technologies, sharing stories from his experience transforming underperforming security teams at major companies like Cisco, Salesforce, and Atlassian. His conversation with Jack explores how to measure what actually matters in security operations, from team capacity utilization to business outcome dispositions, and why proper ticketing systems and actionable metrics are prerequisites for any advanced tooling to be effective. Topics discussed: The importance of establishing fundamental processes like ticketing systems and metrics before implementing AI tools in security operations. How to measure team capacity utilization and resource allocation to identify when security operations teams are operating beyond sustainable levels. Why traditional security metrics like mean time to detect are often vanity metrics that don't provide actionable business intelligence. The critical need for security leaders to communicate in business language with concrete data rather than anecdotal risk assessments. How managed service providers will likely be the first to successfully adopt AI tools due to their standardized processes. The challenge of proving AI tool effectiveness when most organizations lack baseline metrics to measure improvement against established benchmarks. Why security teams gravitate toward building custom tools and how this impacts their approach to adopting commercial AI solutions. The role of MCP in enabling security teams to create their own agents and integrate multiple tools. How AI should focus on eliminating routine tasks like phishing email analysis rather than trying to catch advanced persistent threats. The framework for implementing AI tools by starting with business outcomes, defining metrics, identifying capabilities, and then inserting automation.

Columbia University has recently suffered a significant data breach, compromising the personal information of 1.8 million individuals, including social security numbers and financial aid details. The hacker, motivated by political opposition to affirmative action policies, claims to have stolen 460 gigabytes of sensitive data. This incident is part of a troubling trend of politically motivated cyber attacks targeting higher education institutions, particularly following the Supreme Court's decision to bar affirmative action practices in 2023. The limited media coverage of this breach raises concerns about data security and the integrity of academic institutions.In a related development, malware detection has surged by 171% in the first quarter of 2025, according to a report from WatchGuard Technologies. This increase highlights the growing sophistication of cyber threats that are outpacing traditional defenses. The report indicates a staggering 712% rise in new malware threats on endpoints, with the LSASS dumper identified as a leading threat. This trend underscores the need for organizations, especially universities and small businesses, to recognize the escalating risks and adapt their security strategies accordingly.Huntress has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to enhance cybersecurity for businesses, integrating its enterprise-grade solutions with Microsoft environments. This partnership aims to provide essential protections for endpoints and identities, allowing organizations to respond more effectively to cyber threats. Meanwhile, Microsoft is discontinuing the use of its Authenticator app for password storage, prompting users to transition to alternative solutions. This shift emphasizes the need for users to rethink their credential management strategies in light of evolving security practices.The podcast also touches on the implications of recent incidents involving major IT service providers, such as Ingram Micro's ransomware attack, which has raised concerns about vendor trust and supply chain fragility. As vendors face scrutiny following security breaches, the erosion of trust in their products becomes a significant issue for managed service providers (MSPs). Additionally, the discussion includes emerging concepts in artificial intelligence, such as context engineering, and the growing prevalence of AI note-takers in meetings, which raises questions about the balance between technological efficiency and human interaction in the workplace.

Wiz is a cloud security platform that helps organizations identify and remediate risks across their cloud environments. The company's platform scans layers of the cloud stack, including virtual machines, containers, and serverless configurations, to detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in context. The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is emerging as a potential standard for connecting LLM The post MCP Security at Wiz with Rami McCarthy appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification has helped to accelerate access to a wide range of data sources for AI applications. But there are questions about the security and trust implications around a protocol that is still in its infancy. Scott Crawford and Justin Lam return to the podcast to examine the concerns that have been raised and changes that are underway in the specification with host Eric Hanselman. The previous episode introduced MCP and some of the market forces that are in play. Security considerations didn't appear to be fully sorted out in the first version of the specification, but more work is being done to move beyond the OAuth-based approach. Automating the data access process can be powerful, but also fraught with the potential for abuse. The larger questions in MCP revolve around understanding risk and establishing trust. Data exposure has been a constant concern in AI, but the more complex issues exist in the integrity of the data that's being used. AI technology is moving forward rapidly and adversaries that are looking to compromise it and moving right along with these advances.
