Ahead of Black Hat USA 2025, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down once again with Rupesh Chokshi, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Application Security Group at Akamai, for a forward-looking conversation on the state of AI security. From new threat trends to enterprise missteps, Rupesh lays out three focal points for this year's security conversation: protecting generative AI at runtime, addressing the surge in AI scraper bots, and defending the APIs that serve as the foundation for AI systems.Rupesh shares that Akamai is now detecting over 150 billion AI scraping attempts—a staggering signal of the scale and sophistication of machine-to-machine activity. These scraper bots are not only siphoning off data but also undermining digital business models by bypassing monetization channels, especially in publishing, media, and content-driven sectors.While AI introduces productivity gains and operational efficiency, it also introduces new and uncharted risks. Agentic AI, where autonomous systems operate on behalf of users or other systems, is pushing cybersecurity teams to rethink their strategies. Traditional firewalls aren't enough—because these threats don't behave like yesterday's attacks. Prompt injection, toxic output, and AI-generated hallucinations are some of the issues now surfacing in enterprise environments, with over 70% of organizations already experiencing AI-related incidents.This brings the focus to the runtime. Akamai's newly launched Firewall for AI is purpose-built to detect and mitigate risks in generative AI and LLM applications—without disrupting performance. Designed to flag issues like toxic output, remote code execution, or compliance violations, it operates with real-time visibility across inputs and outputs. It's not just about defense—it's about building trust as AI moves deeper into decision-making and workflow automation.CISOs, says Rupesh, need to shift from high-level discussions to deep, tactical understanding of where and how their organizations are deploying AI. This means not only securing AI but also working hand-in-hand with the business to establish governance, drive discovery, and embed security into the fabric of innovation.Learn more about Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guests:Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & General Manager, Application Security, Akamai | https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshchokshi/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com______________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Akamai: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/akamaiLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

From 200 mph electric cars to 20 mph electric tractors, Praveen Penmetsa, CEO of Monarch Tractor, leveraged his passion and expertise in vehicles, robotics, and batteries to develop the first smart, electric tractor. Making farmers more profitable and efficient first, and then sustainable, are the core tenets that drive Monarch's business. Praveen discusses the core benefits of using an electric tractor and how it works with farmers to take advantage of government incentives, making farming more efficient and cost-effective.  Detailed Show Notes: Praveen's background: mechanical engineering, loves fast cars, worked on electric vehicles, robots, and battery systemsFounded Monarch in 2018, the company is currently the only company selling smart, electric tractorsNow on four continents, with most sales in the US, pilots internationallySolution is a smart electric tractor with an app and piloting autonomous drivingFits in 5' rowsRuntime 10-14 hrs for pushing, 8-11 hrs for mowing, 4-6 hrs for heavy operations; takes ~6 hours to chargeCore markets - vineyards #1, dairy #2, orchards, horse ranchesCore benefitsSave $7-12/hr on diesel savingsRemote service and support, day and night - can submit a service ticket on the machine and get help remotelyProduct gets better over time with SW updates (e.g., released the ‘row follow' feature)Can power other things, be used like a generator (e.g., night lights for harvest)Easier to train operators (smart screen vs 20 manual controls)Environmental impacts - reduces carbon emissionsWith increasing automation (mowing is 1st operation), more labor savingsAutonomous driving has guidelines by CA OSHA (need signs that the autonomous tractor is running and no people in the block), but there are no legal guidelines in other placesPricing$90k baseline price + options + subscriptionsGov't incentives can make it cheaper than a diesel tractor, 20-70% savingsMonarch helps apply for subsidies, including charging infrastructure and solar installationSubscription charge for connectivity and SW has various levels; some charges can be offset by incentives with carbon offset reporting (e.g., Dannon gives dairy farmers incentive payments for the carbon offsets)ROI driven by tractor usage, payback ~2 years; has an ROI calculator on the website; needs to be cheaper and more efficient before sustainability elements come into playMost farmers want autonomy to reduce labor costsSells through a direct sales team and dealersMarketing driven by non-electric tractors today, podcasts are helpful, social media, and demos have been very effectiveSocial media, primarily Facebook and LinkedIn for owners, Google SEO, and local dealer supportDemos are essential; most farmers want to try before they buyPartnering with other companies to use their technology inside, also partnered with AgScout to leverage AI for vineyardsBarriers to purchase primarily worry about service and support, and wanting more autonomy for labor savingsContinuously update both HW and SW on machines, some tractors now close to 4,000 hours of operation (vs. standard tractors need to be replaced after 4-6k hours) Hosted on Acast.

Vanessa Cominsky joins Case and Sam to RAGE against this awkward historical epic! Overview Podcast hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea provide a framework for discussing the 2004 film Troy, highlighting its connection to early 2000s epic films like Gladiator and 300. Vanessa Cominsky, a guest and classics major, notes a 4-year professional bond with Case stemming from shared academic interests. David Benioff, the film's screenwriter, is discussed in relation to his later work on Game of Thrones and identified issues in narrative depth. Whitewashing criticism surfaces regarding the film's predominantly white cast, despite its story set in a historically diverse region. Analysis reveals a lack of clear passage of time, compressing the depicted 10-year Trojan War into a brief narrative span. Costume design receives praise for historical accuracy while the film's runtime discrepancies are critiqued, with the director's cut deemed excessive. Thematic exploration includes Agamemnon's characterization as a villain symbolizing US imperialism, contrasting with sympathetic portrayals of the Trojans. Sean Bean's potential as Odysseus is noted but criticized for underutilization, while Peter O'Toole's Priam provides limited but impactful performance. Improvement suggestions include altering the title to better reflect Achilles' journey and revising the narrative structure to enhance character development. Upcoming initiatives include a scholarship program for women in wine, launched by Vanessa Cominsky's nonprofit Vin Vitalite in 2025. @vminsky @womenofwinedc Www.vinVitalité.org (Pronounced vinn vitahlihtay) Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 02:45) Hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea introduce the 'Another Pass' podcast, discussing movie analysis and improvements. Guest Vanessa Cominsky introduced as Case's coworker from wine/spirits industry and fellow classics major. Discussion of 4-year professional relationship and bonding over classics background. Movie Context & Background (02:45 - 09:38) Analysis of 2004 film Troy as adaptation loosely based on oral tradition. Discussion of movie within context of early 2000s epic films including Gladiator, 300, and Lord of the Rings trilogy. David Benioff identified as screenwriter, connecting to later Game of Thrones writing style issues. Observation that Odysseus character tells audience he's clever but never demonstrates intelligence in actual scenes. Political interpretation: movie reflects 2004 centrist liberal perspective on Middle Eastern conflicts with 'support the troops' messaging. Film Production & Casting Analysis (09:38 - 19:22) Vanessa's personal connection: used movie for high school Latin convention project and senior thesis. Whitewashing criticism - movie depicts conflict between Greece and Middle East with entirely white cast. Brad Pitt as main marketing draw playing Achilles in peak popularity period. Case's viewing experience in Rome during classics trip, creating nostalgic connection to material. Story Structure & Adaptation Choices (19:22 - 28:32) Movie covers broader Trojan War story rather than just Iliad, including Trojan Horse sequence not in original epic. Brian Cox as Agamemnon praised as perfect casting choice despite whitewashing issues. Discussion of movie's approach to gods - humans take credit for actions rather than divine intervention. ️ Character Analysis - Heroes and Villains (28:32 - 38:14) Agamemnon positioned as main villain representing US imperialism, while Trojans portrayed sympathetically. Hector vs Achilles juxtaposition works well as respective champions of each side. Orlando Bloom as Paris criticized as too whiny and lacking roguish charm needed for character. Eric Bana as Hector praised as everyone's 'big brother' figure and moral center. Production Design & Technical Elements (38:14 - 47:42) Costume design highly praised for historical accuracy and visual distinction between Greeks and Trojans. Director's cut vs theatrical cut - director's cut too long at 3 hours 16 minutes with unnecessary gore. Runtime issues - theatrical cut feels rushed while director's cut is excessive. War Portrayal & Geographic Issues (47:43 - 56:37) Time compression problem - 10-year war feels like weeks or months with no passage of time indicated. Troy's geography poorly established - unclear city layout and siege logistics. Siege warfare portrayed as single-direction battle rather than comprehensive blockade. Thematic Elements & Religious Context (56:38 - 01:05:46) Gods' role minimized to hint at divine influence without direct intervention. Moral philosophy embedded in Achilles-Briseis conversations about mortality and divinity. Historical accuracy questioned regarding Bronze Age vs Classical Greek terminology and social structures. Casting and Performance Critique (01:05:46 - 01:15:32) Sean Bean as Odysseus underutilized despite perfect casting choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam noted as big casting choice but limited screen time. James Cosmo casting questioned as underused Trojan general. Improvement Proposals - Sam's Pitch (01:15:32 - 01:26:16) Title change to 'The Wrath of Achilles' to better reflect actual story focus. Sean Bean expansion - more scenes showing passage of time and war strategy. Runtime reduction - cut Trojan perspective to focus on Greek side and Achilles' journey. Narrative structure - use Odysseus as storyteller/narrator rather than voiceover. Improvement Proposals - Vanessa's Pitch (01:26:16 - 01:36:20) Scope change to focus on Achilles from moment Odysseus recruits him. Character development - establish Greek power structure and vassal relationships. Agamemnon characterization - emphasize him as villain representing imperialism more clearly. Improvement Proposals - Casey's Pitch (01:36:20 - 01:45:13) Geographic clarity - establish Troy's layout and siege positioning with additional CG shots. Time passage - visual indicators and dialogue establishing years-long conflict. Battle variety - different environments including sea battles and raids on surrounding areas. Violence balance - between theatrical cut's sanitization and director's cut's excess. Final Discussion & Wrap-up (01:45:13 - 02:05:58) David Benioff background revealed as Goldman Sachs executive's son, explaining Hollywood access. Vanessa's organization - Vin Vitalite, DC women in wine industry nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. Scholarship program launching 2025 for women in wine industry. Next episode preview - Highlander 2: The Quickening.

Uncork Capital Partner Amy Saper shares practical advice for early-stage founders building AI-enabled tools for engineering, product, and design teams, or as she describes them, "products that make you not want to quit your job." Drawing on her experience in product marketing at Twitter, Uber, and Stripe, she explains why storytelling is an underrated founder skill, how to refine your ideal customer profile, and why it's good to reverse-engineer a roadmap from your Series A goals. She also shares tips for assessing founder/investor fit, when (and when not) to launch, and why she cares more about your conviction than your TAM slide. If you're a technical founder looking to pitch smarter, launch better, and scale leaner, this episode is for you. RUNTIME 40:46 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (3:46) How Amy's product marketing background informs her investor perspective (8:45) Storytelling skill (and coachability) “ separates the mediocre founders from the exceptional ones.” (12:02) “ I do tend to gravitate towards very technical teams. Sometimes they're all engineers.” (15:16) A few questions Amy would ask a VC if she were an early-stage founder (17:25) How she defines founder conviction — and the traits she looks for (22:56) Identify your goals and targets, then work backwards from there (26:55) “ I have a funny but also kind of real sub-thesis, which is products that make you not want to quit your job.” (28:50) Thanks to new AI tools, “ we're seeing the rise of small lean teams that are achieving early profitability.” (33:45) “ I am a sucker for a great deck or a beautiful presentation.” (36:30) “ I care less about the overall TAM than how you're defining what's addressable.“ (39:27) The one question Amy would have to ask the CEO if she were interviewing for a job with an early-stage startup LINKS Amy Saper Uncork Capital SUBSCRIBE

Ten Eleven Ventures CTO and Operating Partner Scott Lundgren shares practical advice for early-stage cybersecurity founders. He explains why founder-market fit matters more than product polish, how teams should think about TAM in fragmented markets, and the signals he looks for in technical pitches. He also breaks down how Ten Eleven's network helps with diligence and customer development — and why “cool tech” often misses the mark. Plus: his take on the AI hype cycle, and why building credibility starts with listening, not pitching. RUNTIME 38:06 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (3:37) How founding an ISP as a teenager led Scott to a career in tech. (6:06) Why he decided to join Ten Eleven Ventures as CTO/operating partner. (9:53) Scott breaks down the essential elements of a cybersecurity pitch. (14:31) Inexperienced founders, “as a general rule, have no idea about the TAM.”  (17:21) On AI hype: “ I'd like to see some more rigor with how we feel like we can start to quantify some of the benefits.” (20:20) Having a global network of security professionals is “ a really great resource for us as a firm, but also for our founders.” (21:51) Lessons learned from being on Carbon Black's founding team. (23:59) “ You need both of these things that are intertwined: the luck, and the the hard work.” (26:08) Do customer discovery face-to-face, not over Zoom. “It isn't always productive, but there's no substitute for it.” (30:57) Developing and promoting a startup mindset outside of Silicon Valley. (35:30) “ If you build really cool tech to solve a pretty simple problem, then that probably was over-engineered.” (36:11) How to build investor and future customer relationships — when you still have a job.

Construction workers spend hours on their hands and knees snapping chalk lines to mark where walls, plumbing and utilities should go. It's painstaking, back-breaking labor. And that's how it's been done for centuries. Tessa Lau saw an opportunity — and built a robot that does it faster, safer, and with surgical precision. In this episode of Fund/Build/Scale, the Dusty Robotics founder and CEO shares some of what she's learned about transitioning from a researcher to a deep tech founder, including: How she turned past startup mistakes into a rigorous customer discovery process The structured approach Dusty used to land its first paying customer Why she says stealth mode is overrated — and how building in public gave them a head start How “cool tech” can lead you astray if you're not solving a real problem Smart ways to pivot and iterate based on actual user feedback What it takes to build a mission-driven team that scales with you If you're interested in robotics, deep tech, or why some concepts fall into the valley of death while others sail over it like a Red Bull stunt team — listen in.

What happens when a team of legal veterans decides to rebuild the dispute resolution process from the ground up?  To find out, I interviewed Rich Lee, co-founder and CEO of New Era ADR, a platform designed to resolve legal disputes faster, at lower cost, and with less friction for both companies and individuals.  We talked about building a team that had enough credibility to sell into one of the most risk-averse industries, how they approached trust-building with both customers and investors, and how they're scaling a capital-efficient business in a category that's been largely unchanged for decades. Thanks for listening! – Walter. RUNTIME 39:46 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (2:59) “ I'm an early adopter of, you know, anything.” (10:03) “ The core problem: why does it cost so damn much to resolve a legal dispute in this country?” (13:05) How Rich and his co-founders divided roles and responsibilities (17:15) Hurdle #1: “ Challenging the underlying assumption that litigation and a legal dispute doesn't have to be two-plus years.” (22:32) In the early days, New Era ADR developed multiple personas to overcome customer objections (25:50) “ Fortunately, we didn't have to do a lot of POCs.” (29:40) “ Our market's comically big.” (30:03) Finding your SAM and SOM when the TAM is $350 billion (32:22) Which came first: the pitch deck, or the revenue model?

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent appearance on Carmelo Antony's 7 PM in Brooklyn Podcast, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler reignited speculation that Denzel Washington is set to play a pivotal role in the third film of his socially thoughtful superhero franchise. When questioned about Washington's prior claims that Coogler was developing the film with a role intended for him specifically, the director confirmed them, saying, “there's no fiction out there about that”. In unrelated, but still Marvel news, tickets for The Fantastic Four: First Steps went on sale last week, crashing several major theaters online ticketing services and accompanied by a new trailer that appears to show us our first look at Franklin Richards. On the TV side of things, per Deadline sources, Schitt's Creek actor Emily Hampshire has joined the cast of the upcoming Vision Disney Plus series as E.D.I.T.H., the artificial intelligence that appeared in Spider-Man: Far From Home. And finally, a second trailer for Ironheart was released on Monday.Late last week, Superman director and DC Studios co-head, James Gunn took to social media, as he is want to do, to announce and celebrate the completion of the film's final visual effects shot, with which he claimed the film to be 100% done ahead of its July 11 release. In the wake of that announcement Gunn took the opportunity to address fan questions surrounding the film's runtime, which he confirmed to be 2 hours and 9 minutes including credits and post credit scenes, while also kiboshing any speculation that Warner Bros had forced a shorter, mandated runtime, saying there was zero truth to it and that Warner Bros could not have interfered even if they wanted to, as it's a DC Studios film. All of this is compounded by rumors that DC Studios will not be focusing on any of their films at SDCC and Gunn's cagey Entertainment Weekly interview from earlier today where he claimed the DCU's Wonder Woman film is being written as we speak.Time for another good old fashioned trailer park, featuring the highly anticipated follow-up to last year's breakout hit, Wicked: For Good, whose first trailer garnered 113 million views in its first 24 hours – and our first full length trailer for Noah Hawley's upcoming FX series, Alien: Earth, which also announced the series for an August 12 premiereMarvel Animation premiered the first episode of the Disney Plus series Eyes of Wakanda during a panel at the Annecy Animation Festival in France, Monday morning. During the panel we learned from director Todd Harris the show will be “anthology-adjacent” and will consist of four episodes.Mia Goth has joined Ryan Gosling in Star Wars: Starfighter, the feature from director Shawn Levy. Although casting details are scarce at the moment, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that she will be playing a villain. HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series has announced nine actors playing key roles for its first season tackling Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The added cast includes Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley, Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley and Bertie Carvel as Cornelius Fudge. Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, will reprise the role on Broadway.  Felton will join the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway starting Nov. 11, for a 19-week engagement through March 22, 2026. A VR game based on Marvel's Deadpool franchise is set to launch later this year from Meta Quest with Neil Patrick Harris voicing the Merc with a Mouth. The game will launch sometime later this year.

Before Postman became a category-defining platform used by millions of developers, it was a personal side project. In this episode, co-founder and CEO Abhinav Asthana shares how he went from hacking on API tools in Bangalore to leading a global company with nearly 900 employees across three continents. We talk about: Building a developer-first product that spread through word of mouth Choosing a CEO when everyone on the founding team is an engineer How to reach U.S. customers before you have a U.S. presence Why authenticity beats thought leadership when you're building in public Going from “ramen profitability” to Series A in just 17 months Whether you're an engineer who's thinking about starting something of your own, a founder operating outside of Silicon Valley, or just curious how Postman actually works, this episode is packed with tactical insights. RUNTIME 49:19 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (2:39) “ Being a developer who loved to hack and also design, I just decided to try my hand at this.” (4:00) “ We had a hypothesis, but we didn't have a company.” (6:08) Abhinav built goodwill with the developer community by being helpful (9:26) How they settled on the name “Postman” (11:51) On a team of engineers, how do you decide who should become CEO?

When Tony Stubblebine took over as CEO of Medium in 2022, the platform was burning $2.5 million a month, bleeding subscribers, and was overrun with content that left founder Evan Williams cringing.  Tony pitched Ev a turnaround built on small teams with access to data, customers, and the freedom to rebuild Medium like a startup from the inside out. He wasn't just another executive parachuting in — Tony had worked with him as head of engineering, later as a power user and publishing partner, and eventually, the person who convinced Ev that he could get things on track. In this episode of Fund/Build/Scale, Tony explains how Medium became profitable for the first time, why the platform banned AI-generated content from its partner program, and how his long history as a user and advisor uniquely prepared him to lead the company through a delicate transformation. RUNTIME 50:14 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (3:41) “ I have a long track record of being associated with Medium for just strange reasons.” (7:16) “ Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought on day one, ‘oh, this is a guaranteed win.'” (9:52) “ I think CEOs are delusional, and some amount of delusion is probably healthy.” (12:34) “ Precision is not possible without a combination of data science and user research or words.” (14:30) Creating customer feedback loops in a 13-year-old company (19:49) “ I would almost say there's no product to manage yet because we're making it, and we're making it together.” (20:17) The two mandates Evan Williams gave Tony when he hired him as CEO (24:23) “I  knew even if we could grow subscribers, it would be on the back of this content that we weren't proud of.” (25:45) Why Medium banned AI-generated content from its partner program: “ We're a pro-human product.” (30:11) “ We love human moderation. We love our trust and safety team.” (36:28) “ We're trying to be a place where a different set of writers will win on Medium than will win on these other platforms.” (40:46) “ One hundred percent: Medium is for experience, not for influencers.” (42:35) “ I really like to be a champion for what I would call ‘white hat content marketing.'” (46:45) “ It's wild to me that the art of blogging has not been perfected this many decades into it.” (48:17) “ It's impossible to understand how many niches there are.” LINKS Medium Tony Stubblebine Tony's Medium profile Mark Suster Cal Newport Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi SUBSCRIBE

(17:06) When it comes to domain expertise, “ our bar is pretty high.” (19:47) Muse Capital's process for analyzing market opportunities and evaluating founders (24:26) How seed-stage founders should prepare for their first VC meeting (27:10) “When a founder comes in and says, ‘nobody's doing what we're doing,' I'm like, ‘red flag.'” (29:33) When it comes to women's health, “ there's really interesting things that can be done with AI around unique data or proprietary data sets.” (34:44) How is the current political environment impacting innovation/investment in women's health? (37:44) Why less than 2% of venture capital goes to startups led by women (42:52) “ I do think we are going in the right direction. It's just gonna take a lot.” (44:45) How to get more women into the VC pipeline (47:45)  If you could snap your fingers today and change one thing about VC, what would it be?

What makes a founder dangerous? Not credentials. Not their pedigree. And it's not who they know. For investor and former operator Promise Phelon, a dangerous founder is someone with lived experience, relentless conviction, and the ability to build something the world doesn't expect.

What kind of founder spends five years building a product before going to market? One who's trying to solve a very hard problem. Vince Gaydarzhiev is the founder of Alcatraz, a deep tech startup that uses facial authentication. The platform isn't used to lock people out of single offices or consumer gadgets; its customers are buying global enterprise security, where compliance is strict, trust is earned, and failure isn't an option. In this episode, Vince shares the emotional, strategic, and technical realities of building a company at the intersection of AI, hardware, and enterprise infrastructure. From working nights on prototypes with a tiny team to navigating founder isolation and breaking into risk-averse markets with no Silicon Valley network, Vince takes us inside the long game of building something real. We cover: Why it took three years to get a product into customer hands — and two more to scale it Validating a deep tech startup when you're not an insider What enterprise security leaders really care about (and how not to sell to them) Why founder empathy and “becoming your customer” are non-negotiable in this space The hiring philosophy that helped Alcatraz scale with high-agency, low-ego team members How Vince de-risked himself to earn trust from investors and prospective hires If you're building something technically ambitious or thinking about launching a startup in AI, hardware, or security, listen in.

(17:55) The pitch Vince used to recruit employees away from Apple and other top companies (20:05) “ In 2016, investors were investing into companies purely on a deck.” (22:18) “ I had zero network. It was my first time.” (24:42) “ Many people mentally cannot take ‘nos' in bulk. They get depressed, they feel it's personal.” (26:50) Why the name “Alcatraz?” (28:12) “ It's really tough to work with people that you don't like. Very tough. It's never gonna work out.” (30:24) The one question Vince would have to ask the CEO if he were interviewing at an early-stage startup LINKS Vince Gardarzhiev Alcatraz Alcatraz AI Raises $6.1M in Funding for Frictionless Access Control, 4/27/2021, press release Alcatraz AI Receives $25M Series A Funding to Accelerate International Growth, 9/13/2022, press release SUBSCRIBE

At RSAC Conference 2025, Rupesh Chokshi, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Application Security Group at Akamai, joined ITSPmagazine to share critical insights into the dual role AI is playing in cybersecurity today—and what Akamai is doing about it.Chokshi lays out the landscape with clarity: while AI is unlocking powerful new capabilities for defenders, it's also accelerating innovation for attackers. From bot mitigation and behavioral DDoS to adaptive security engines, Akamai has used machine learning for over a decade to enhance protection, but the scale and complexity of threats have entered a new era.The API and Web Application Threat SurgeReferencing Akamai's latest State of the Internet report, Chokshi cites a 33% year-over-year rise in web application and API attacks—topping 311 billion threats. More than 150 billion of these were API-related. The reason is simple: APIs are the backbone of modern applications, yet many organizations lack visibility into how many they have or where they're exposed. Shadow and zombie APIs are quietly expanding attack surfaces without sufficient monitoring or defense.Chokshi shares that in early customer discovery sessions, organizations often uncover tens of thousands of APIs they weren't actively tracking—making them easy targets for business logic abuse, credential theft, and data exfiltration.Introducing Akamai's Firewall for AIAkamai is addressing another critical gap with the launch of its new Firewall for AI. Designed for both internal and customer-facing generative AI applications, this solution focuses on securing runtime environments. It detects and blocks issues like prompt injection, PII leakage, and toxic language using scalable, automated analysis at the edge—reducing friction for deployment while enhancing visibility and governance.In early testing, Akamai found that 6% of traffic to a single LLM-based customer chatbot involved suspicious activity. That volume—within just 100,000 requests—highlights the urgency of runtime protections for AI workloads.Enabling Security LeadershipChokshi emphasizes that modern security teams must engage collaboratively with business and data teams. As AI adoption outpaces security budgets, CISOs are looking for trusted, easy-to-deploy solutions that enable—not hinder—innovation. Akamai's goal: deliver scalable protections with minimal disruption, while helping security leaders shoulder the growing burden of AI risk.Learn more about Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & General Manager, Application Security, Akamai | https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshchokshi/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Akamai: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/akamaiLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, rupesh chokshi, akamai, rsac, ai, security, cisos, api, firewall, llm, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More
