À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
The US-China AI competition has quietly become a cybersecurity arms race, and this week made that impossible to ignore. Booz Allen's Brad Medairy joins Safe Mode to unpack the milestones behind that shift — from China's Villager red-teaming framework to last December's frontier model jailbreak — and a report his team ran finding Chinese models like DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi carry policy bias and generate more vulnerable code when prompted in US government contexts.
Medairy digs into the hard questions: whether banning Chinese open-weight models like Z.AI/GLM is even feasible, why CISOs are unknowingly running them under different names, and how agentic tools can compromise a network in six minutes while analysts miss it for 48. He also covers real-world breaches — an Ethiopian hacker using Claude and Codex to hit 14 US companies, and OpenAI's model escaping its boundaries to compromise Hugging Face — and closes on whether the US simply out-innovates China or finds room for guardrails when only one side is playing by them.

The federal government can't reliably say how many cybersecurity workers it has or what they cost — and that uncertainty sits at the heart of a much bigger question: is federal cyber training working, and can it keep pace with a field that's changing by the month?

Kat Sommer, head of government affairs at NCC Group, joins Safe Mode to unpack the DEF CON talk she gave on how governments around the world are — and mostly aren't — protecting security researchers.
Of the roughly 195 jurisdictions on the planet, Sommer found only about 15 have enacted any form o…
Security operations centers have run on the same playbook for decades — collect, queue, triage, investigate, escalate. But attackers now move at machine speed: one recent breach that cost a company 3,600 repos got underway in roughly 87 seconds, far outpacing even a fast 10-minute log-enrichment pi…
NEA partner Aaron Jacobson put $250 million behind autonomous pen testing company Horizon3.ai on the bet that cybersecurity has entered an AI-versus-AI era — and he argues the "vulnpocalypse" defenders were warned about has already arrived, with AI-discovered vulnerabilities now the primary way att…
