Beyond AI for Security Hype: What Really Matters in Cyber Defense
In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host Sherrod DeGrippo is joined by Zack Korman, CTO of cybersecurity startup Pistachio. They explore the reality of AI in security, cutting through hype to discuss where AI is both brilliant and flawed, how vendors AI-wash outdated tech, and why Zack believes AI won’t replace jobs but instead scale human creativity. They also dive into phishing simulations, human psychology behind social engineering, AI-powered attacks, jailbreak chaining between AI systems, and the future risks and opportunities AI introduces in cybersecurity.

Still working on processing but wanted to show the beautiful tail of Comet Lemmon from my last session. It's about 100 minutes worth of data here. Hoping to catch it again tonight if the weather allows.

My latest 3D printing art installation is called “Transition to Chaos.”
It starts with a set of equations that describe a trajectory on an axisymmetric torus.

13 years ago today I got to see Space Shuttle Endeavour flying over Tucson, AZ on its way to its new home in L.A. A few years later I got to visit it in person at the California Science Center.
