ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What happens when attackers can exploit vulnerabilities faster than organisations can patch them — sometimes before the vulnerabilities have even been publicly disclosed?
Anne talks to Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent (Cisco), CNCF governing board member, O’Reilly author and eBPF security expert, about how AI is changing the economics of cyberattacks, why conventional patching and firewalls are no longer sufficient on their own, and how eBPF provides another line of defence. Liz explains how Cilium and Tetragon use the Linux kernel to observe activity, enforce policies and deploy highly targeted protections against known exploits — without restarting running applications.
Along the way, they revisit their early cloud-native startup, Microscaling, discuss AI agents behaving like hackers inside their own organisations, explore the eBPF verifier and Linux containers, and examine Cisco Hypershield Live Protect. They finish with a memorable example of supermarket refrigeration systems being compromised through poor access configuration: a reminder that not every security failure is a software vulnerability.
