אודות פרק זה
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.

For the first time in its operational history, FISA Section 702 has lapsed, plunging U.S. intelligence agencies and telecom providers into a highly uncertain "grey zone."
In this episode of Safe Mode, host Greg Otto sits down with Glenn Gerstell, former NSA General Counsel and senior adviser at t…
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 p…
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 …
It's been a wild six weeks for frontier AI models — Mythos launched, got yanked offline by the Department of Commerce over export controls, and came back online with new guardrails, all while Five Eyes agencies warned that AI is months away from reshaping the threat landscape. This week on Safe Mo…
