September is here and so is a new episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast! We have Mike T sitting in with us for this entire episode and we kick things off with a Look Back and Look Ahead in the world of DG. We talk Okta, we talk Festbier, we look a little further ahead into October to Dancing Gnome's 9th anniversary. Next, we wade into the always treacherous waters of a "kids at a brewery" discussion, following some recent 1 star reviews DG received on Google. We read a New York Times article from earlier this summer that talks about how some breweries are handling this tricky issue and the responses they are receiving. After our break, we crack open two of Dancing Gnome's latest barrel aged offerings, Contact and Vindemia, while Andrew talks about the interesting process behind creating these two beers. We close out the show by answering some listener questions. Thanks for listening!!  Intro/Outro music by: Kabbalistic VillageBreak music by: Kevin MacLeod

Interview with Harish Peri from Okta Oktane Preview: building frameworks to secure our Agentic AI future Like it or not, Agentic AI and protocols like MCP and A2A are getting pushed as the glue to take business process automation to the next level.

How do put AI agents in the position to perform broad tasks autonomously without granting them all the privileges?

Interview with Harish Peri from Okta Oktane Preview: building frameworks to secure our Agentic AI future Like it or not, Agentic AI and protocols like MCP and A2A are getting pushed as the glue to take business process automation to the next level. Giving agents the power and access they need to accomplish these lofty goals is going to be challenging, from a security perspective. How do put AI agents in the position to perform broad tasks autonomously without granting them all the privileges? How do we avoid making AI agents a gold mine for attackers - the first place they stop once they hack into our companies? These are some examples of the questions Okta aims to answer at this year's Oktane event, and we aim to kick off the conversations a little early - with this interview! Segment Resources: Check out securityweekly.com/oktane for all our live coverage during the event this year! More information about the event and how you can attend can be found here: https://www.okta.com/oktane/ AI at Work 2025: Securing the AI-powered workforce Topic - Indirect Prompt Injection Getting Out of Hand Reports of indirect prompt injection issues have been around for a while. Of particular note was Michael Bargury's Living off Microsoft Copilot presentation from Black Hat USA 2024. Simply sending an email to a Copilot user could make bad stuff happen. Now, at Black Hat 2025, we've got more: the ability to plunder any data resource connected to ChatGPT (they call these integrations "Connectors") from Tamir Ishay Sharbat at Zenity Labs. The research is titled AgentFlayer: ChatGPT Connectors 0click Attack. Looks like Google Jules is also vulnerable to what the Embrace the Red blog is calling invisible prompts. Sourcegraph's Amp Code is also vulnerable to the same attack, which encodes instructions to make them invisible. What's really going to ruffle feathers is the fact that all these companies know this stuff is possible, but don't seem to be able to figure out how to prevent it. Ideally, we'd want to be able to distinguish between intended instruction and instructions injected via attachments or some other means outside of the prompt box. I guess that's easier said than done? News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Drones are coming for you… to help?

A looming deadline always gets attention, and for DoD suppliers, the clock is ticking. On October 1, 2025, the Department of Defense will begin including Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMMC) certification requirements in new contracts.     This week on Feds At The Edge, four leading experts cut through the complexity and share practical guidance to help you start, or finish, your CMMC journey.    Sean Frazier, Federal Chief Security Officer for Okta, explains why “Know Thy Data” is the key to applying the right level of security where it matters most.  Alan Dinerman, PhD, Senior Manager, Cyber Strategy, Policy, and Privacy at Mitre, puts CMMC in context with other cybersecurity standards, noting its focus on Controlled Unclassified Information. And Jeff Adorno, Field Chief Compliance Officer at ZScaler, warns of risks in the AI era, where sensitive data can unintentionally “leak” into Large Language Models. The panel as a whole highlights how aligning with existing frameworks and using current technologies can demonstrate progress to auditors and ease compliance.     Listen now on your favorite podcast platform because whether you're deep into compliance or just getting started, this conversation will help you navigate the evolving landscape of CMMC and beyond.

It's hard to believe it has been 3 years since we spoke! Give everyone a brief introduction.Topic 2 - Here's the problem I see when it comes to AI adoption today. There isn't an “off the shelf” AI model with an organization's data built in; that's impossible. So, you must bring this data, often unstructured, to the model, often with mixed results. Do you agree?Topic 3 - I see data quality in two ways… the quality of the data before ingestion is one way, we want the data to be clean going in. But, we also need a way to detect, mitigate, and do a root cause analysis for quality checks along the way, correct? Give everyone an idea of what this life cycle looks like.Topic 4 - What are you seeing as the barriers to adoption? Is it the tools, the models, the need for RAG pipelines, the lack of data scientists, and AIOps?Topic 5 - We have this crossroads where proprietary data makes an organization unique, but exposing that unique data puts the organization at risk. How much of a factor does this play, and how do you advise organizations around this complex intersectionTopic 6 - There is always this concept of predictable results. This answer should be consistent and repeatable. We've seen things like model/data drift and hallucinations hinder this concept, leading to a lack of confidence in the results. How do you advise organizations to tackle this lifecycle management and predictability over time?Topic 7 - If listeners want to get started and learn more, what's the best way to get started?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

Give everyone a brief intro.Topic 2 - Let's start with Priavte GenAI. What is it? Why should organizations out there consider it? Why not just use OpenAI GPT's and fine tune them?Topic 2a Follow up - Regulatory Compliance - take the opposing forces in the EU for instance to using SaaS based services based in the United States.Topic 3 - Let's break down the layers in a typical Private AI stack. I'm seen various ways to represent this such as infrastructure layer, MLOps layer, models, data layer (typically RAG), etc. How do you break up the stack into individual componentsTopic 4 - My mind immediately jumps to similarities in the DevOps space. Abstraction layers and components like Docker and containers comes to mind, integration into CI/CD pipelines, etc. I feel like MLOps is it's own thing with specific tools and workflows. Does this all come together and if so how?Topic 5 - Also, what does this mean for versioning and lifecycle management of the models and the data?Topic 6 - We are seeing more and more data pipelines with backed by multiple models, sometimes in multiple locations. How do handle this from both a scheduling and interface standpoint? Is everything hidden behind APIs for instance?Topic 7 - If anyone is interested, what's the best way to get started?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

On this episode, taken from The Ben & Marc Show, a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz dive deep into the unfiltered story behind the founding of Andreessen Horowitz—and how they set out to reinvent venture capital itself. For the first time, Marc and Ben walk through the origins, strategy, and philosophy behind building a world-class venture capital firm designed for the future—not just the next fund. They reveal how they broke industry norms with a bold brand, a full-stack support model, and a long-term commitment to backing exceptional builders—anchored in the radical idea that founders deserved real support, not just checks. Joining them to guide the conversation is Erik Torenberg—Andreessen Horowitz's newest General Partner—who makes his Ben & Marc Show moderating debut.
