Thinking of building your own AI security tool? In this episode, Santiago Castiñeira, CTO of Maze, breaks down the realities of the "Build vs. Buy" debate for AI-first vulnerability management.While building a prototype script is easy, scaling it into a maintainable, audit-proof system is a massive undertaking requiring specialized skills often missing in security teams. The "RAG drug" relies too heavily on Retrieval-Augmented Generation for precise technical data like version numbers, which often fails .The conversation gets into the architecture required for a true AI-first system, moving beyond simple chatbots to complex multi-agent workflows that can reason about context and risk . We also cover the critical importance of rigorous "evals" over "vibe checks" to ensure AI reliability, the hidden costs of LLM inference at scale, and why well-crafted agents might soon be indistinguishable from super-intelligence .Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Santiago's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠Questions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:00) Who is Santiago Castiñeira?(02:40) What is "AI-First" Vulnerability Management?

Story Transcript:Da: I København, midt i det kolde vinterlandskab, havde Guds snefnug helt sin egen magiske rytme.En: In København, in the middle of the cold winter landscape, God's snowflakes had their own magical rhythm.Da: Tivoli Gardens var oplyst som et glitrende julekort.En: Tivoli Gardens was lit up like a sparkling Christmas card.Da: Lyset fra hundredvis af små pærer blinkede fra træerne, og en livlig musik lød fra karusellen, der svang børn rundt i munter fryd.En: The light from hundreds of small bulbs twinkled from the trees, and lively music played from the carousel, spinning children around in cheerful delight.Da: Omkring var der boder, der solgte honningkager, varm kakao og duftende gløgg.En: Around were stalls selling gingerbread, hot cocoa, and fragrant mulled wine.Da: Julemarkedet var i fuld gang.En: The Christmas market was in full swing.Da: Mikkel og Freja gik hånd i hånd gennem menneskemængden.En: Mikkel and Freja walked hand in hand through the crowd.Da: Mikkel, med lynets glimten i øjnene, havde planlagt denne overraskelsesudflugt.En: Mikkel, with a twinkle in his eyes, had planned this surprise outing.Da: Men Freja, der altid satte pris på struktur og forberedelse, kunne ikke helt slappe af.En: But Freja, who always appreciated structure and preparation, couldn't quite relax.Da: "Mikkel," sagde hun stille, "jeg elsker dine overraskelser, men... hvad er planen?"En: "Mikkel," she said quietly, "I love your surprises, but... what is the plan?"Da: Mikkel trak på skuldrene.En: Mikkel shrugged.Da: "Planen er at hygge os.En: "The plan is to have a good time.Da: Se på julelysene.En: Look at the Christmas lights.Da: Drikke gløgg.En: Drink mulled wine.Da: Bare nyde det sammen."En: Just enjoy it together."Da: Han forsøgte at lyde afslappet, men Frejas nølende ansigt gjorde ham nervøs.En: He tried to sound relaxed, but Freja's hesitant face made him nervous.Da: Han vidste, at hun yndede at have en skitse at følge – noget han selv ofte glemte.En: He knew she liked to have an outline to follow—something he often forgot.Da: De fortsatte forbi juletræer, der strålede som stjerner, forbi søde glimt af børn, der kørte på karruseller og skøjter.En: They continued past Christmas trees that shone like stars, past sweet glimpses of children riding carousels and skating.Da: Alligevel kunne Mikkel føle spændingen stige mellem dem.En: Yet Mikkel could feel the tension rising between them.Da: Freja vrikkede ubehageligt på skuldrene, mens kulden bidrev til deres stigende uro.En: Freja shifted uncomfortably, while the cold contributed to their growing unease.Da: "Jeg ved, det er uforsigtligt, men vi skal finde glæden ved det her," sagde Mikkel, mens han trak Freja mod en bod, der solgte brændte mandler.En: "I know it's reckless, but we need to find the joy in this," said Mikkel, as he pulled Freja toward a stall selling roasted almonds.Da: Han smilede, men hans forsøg vaklede.En: He smiled, but his attempt faltered.Da: Freja stoppede, hendes øjne spejdede efter noget konkret, noget at stole på.En: Freja stopped, her eyes searching for something concrete, something to rely on.Da: Men pludselig, mens de stod der i stilheden mellem deres uro, begyndte snefnuggene at falde.En: But suddenly, as they stood there in the silence between their unease, the snowflakes began to fall.Da: Smukke snefnug, der landede blidt på jorden og på de brændte mandler Freja netop havde købt.En: Beautiful snowflakes gently landed on the ground and on the roasted almonds Freja had just bought.Da: "Se!"En: "Look!"Da: sagde Mikkel.En: said Mikkel.Da: "Det er det her, jeg ønskede.En: "This is what I wanted.Da: Magien ved det uventede."En: The magic of the unexpected."Da: Freja kiggede op, og hun lo.En: Freja looked up, and she laughed.Da: Den slags latter, der lettede enhver bekymring.En: The kind of laughter that eased any worry.Da: "Du har ret," sagde hun.En: "You're right," she said.Da: "Det er smukt."En: "It's beautiful."Da: Sneen dæmpede lydene, og for et øjeblik var de to det eneste i rummet, indhyllet i et stille vinters eventyr.En: The snow muffled the sounds, and for a moment, they were the only ones in the room, enveloped in a quiet winter's adventure.Da: Mikkel kiggede på Freja med ny forståelse.En: Mikkel looked at Freja with newfound understanding.Da: Måske kunne han forsøge at være en lille smule mere organiseret.En: Maybe he could try to be a little more organized.Da: Og Freja?En: And Freja?Da: Hun havde fundet skønhed i kaosset.En: She had found beauty in the chaos.Da: De stod sammen under den stille faldende sne og knugede sig tættere.En: They stood together under the softly falling snow and held each other closer.Da: Det blev en aften fyldt med overraskelser, varme og humor.En: It became an evening filled with surprises, warmth, and humor.Da: De fandt balancen mellem forberedelse og impulsivitet, et sted hvor de begge kunne drømme frit og sammen.En: They found the balance between preparation and spontaneity—a place where they both could dream freely and together.Da: Tivoli Gardens, under den tryllebindende vinterhimmel, blev stedet, hvor gamle gnister tændtes igen, og nye minder blev skabt.En: Tivoli Gardens, under the enchanting winter sky, became the place where old sparks were reignited, and new memories were created.

This episode features Dianne Na Penn, a senior product leader at Anthropic, discussing the launch of Claude Opus 4.5 and the evolution of frontier AI models. The conversation explores how Anthropic approaches model development—balancing ambitious capability roadmaps with user feedback, making strategic bets on areas like agentic coding and computer use while deliberately avoiding others like image generation. Dianne shares insights on the shifting nature of AI evaluation (moving beyond saturated benchmarks like SWE-bench toward more open-ended measures), the evolution of scaffolding from "training wheels" to intelligence amplifiers, and why she believes we're closer to transformative long-running AI than most people think. She also discusses Anthropic's distinctive culture of authenticity, the under appreciated benefits of model alignment for producing independent-thinking AI, and why the real bottleneck to AI agents isn't model capability anymore but product innovation. (0:00) Intro(0:57) Starting the Work on Opus 4.5(2:04) Model Capabilities and Surprises(5:59) Computer Use and Practical Applications(7:21) Pricing and Positioning(10:02) Customer Feedback and Early Access(16:44) The Reality of Enterprise Agents(18:47) Future of AI and Long-Running Intelligence(28:06) Anthropic's Culture and Decision Making(30:31) Key Decisions and Fun Moments(33:45) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

Healthcare planning is a huge part of getting ready for your retirement. In this episode, I tackle one of the most pressing updates for retirees: the latest changes to Medicare premiums for 2026, including important surcharges, deductibles, and strategies to help you manage your healthcare expenses.  I'm helping you understand the significant increases in Medicare Part B premiums and deductibles, the impact these changes will have on your Social Security benefits, and why waiting to claim Social Security might pay off. Listen in to get helpful strategies for appealing IRMAA surcharges and practical tips for structuring your income to minimize additional Medicare costs. If you're planning for retirement or already navigating Medicare, this episode is packed with timely advice to help you make informed decisions about your healthcare and finances. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] 2026 Medicare vs. Social Security. [02:23] Part B Medicare surprise announced. [04:08] Social Security timing and medicare basics. [10:07] Appealing the Medicare IRMAA surcharge. [12:13] Avoid IRMAA by keeping an eye on your retirement income. [14:08] Key Medicare changes for 2026. Medicare Part B Premiums Are Increasing in 2026 The standard monthly premium will jump to $202.90 per individual, a striking 9.7% rise from the 2025 rate of $185. This marks the largest increase since 2022, signaling that healthcare costs for retirees continue to climb at rates surpassing even Social Security's cost of living adjustment, which will be 2.8% for 2026. For retirees collecting Social Security, Part B premiums are automatically deducted from their benefits, while those not yet collecting must pay separately, typically on a quarterly basis. It's possible for individuals with lower Social Security benefits to see the entire annual cost-of-living increase consumed, and even exceeded, by higher Medicare premiums. Understanding Medicare's Two Parts: A and B It's important to understand Medicare's original coverage: Part A and Part B. Part A (Hospital Insurance): Most retirees won't pay a premium for Part A if they (or a spouse) have worked at least 10 years in the U.S. Those with fewer qualifying quarters face monthly premiums of either $311 or $565, depending on how long they've paid in. The Part A deductible will also rise to $1,736 in 2026. Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers preventive care, with the standard premium set at $202.90 and a deductible of $283 for 2026 (about a 10% increase from 2025). IRMAA: Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts & Surcharges Higher-income retirees may be subject to IRMAA, leading to additional surcharges on Part B premiums. This is determined by your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) from two years prior (2024 for the 2026 premiums). The IRMAA threshold for single filers is $109,000 and $218,000 for joint filers, with surcharges starting at $284.10 per person and escalating through higher brackets, potentially doubling your premium if you cross certain income thresholds. Medicare will send IRMAA notifications, but an appeal process is available. If your income drops due to retirement or other qualifying life events, you can use SSA Form 44 to appeal unwanted surcharges. Reasons might include a work stoppage, divorce, loss of a pension, or the death of a spouse. Strategic Planning for Retirees How can retirees manage these costs and avoid sudden surcharge surprises? Ryan Morrissey  provides practical guidance: Delay Social Security: Waiting until full retirement age or later can mean higher monthly benefits and greater long-term cost-of-living increases. Monitor Your Income: Large IRA withdrawals, significant capital gains, or property sales can raise your MAGI and push you into higher IRMAA brackets. Appeal When Justified: Act quickly if you're eligible for an IRMAA appeal, as processing can take time and surcharges last 12 months before adjusting. Retirees should work closely with financial advisors to manage income distributions and plan for healthcare expenses as part of their broader retirement strategy. With healthcare costs rising faster than Social Security increases, retirees must stay vigilant. Whether you're newly eligible for Medicare or well into your retirement journey, understanding these changes is super important.

'Fur coat and frilly knickers!'Dave chats to Dame Stuffy about her upcoming show, 'Dame Stuffy: Unwrapped & Outrageous' in The Ambassador Theatre on December 27th.

In this episode of SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill and CIO Nick Ryder, take a fast-paced look at global markets. In the US, manufacturing slows as tariffs bite, while AI and data centre spending surge. Back home, Australia's first full monthly CPI eliminates hopes of a pre-Christmas rate cut, even as Q3 growth and capacity constraints keep pressure on. Nick unpacks a record capex jump, plant and equipment lead the charge, data centre hardware up 92% QoQ fueling productivity but driving imports. Markets cool after a risk-on run, crypto retreats, and competition heats up in banking. The duo also weigh the Fed chair race and a divided FOMC, before hinting at Stanford Brown's 2026 outlook: cautiously optimistic, focused on inflation, productivity, and the evolving AI story.    Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

It is not often that Bethany's plans are usurped, but Dr. Jones pulls it off today. Bethany had teed up a completely different subject for today's episode, but Dr. Jones had a different plan and turned the tables! He took a trip down memory lane and focused on the story of Bethany's life, all of the nitty-gritty details that made Bethany squirm in her seat. As they reflect together, they marvel at how when we lean into our natural strengths, we can end up with a career that really does bring us joy.

Episode 256 How a Man RepelsSensers! Surprises…and by surpirise simply meaning shit that comes up in our lives that we didn't necessarily anticipate becoming an adult. I think its dope if some of us were able to achieve the goals we set for ourselves prior to becoming an adult….BUT for some of us, we had to respond to the Draw Four Card we were dealt when life Life'd the shit out of us. Many failures towards success and a story to tell in the process.What does life mean to you? Something we ask ourselves in our head probably when inebriated but a legitimate question to ponder on as we go through each day. What gives life meaning for me? Does it have to have a meaning at all? I firmly believe in my life's meaning with the way things have transpired over the course of it to present day.I am obviously not a woman to truly say what's deemed attractive and or unattractive but I have my strong convictions on the trials and errors I've committed in my dating experiences that I believe some ladies would agree. Fellas, know the difference between a woman who loves versus a woman who's attracted to you, it doesn't equal out at all times. Let's talk about what I mean by this bold statement.May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this.
