Soap Box: Where does AI fit into cloud security?

About this episode

Patrick Gray interviews Toni de la Fuente about the impact of AI on cloud security and open source projects.

In this sponsored soap box edition of the Risky Business podcast Patrick Gray chats with Toni de la Fuente, the founder of Prowler. Prowler started off as a bunch of scripts in a trenchcoat, then became an open source cloud security tool, and it’s now a venture-funded cloud security business. In this interview Toni talks us through how AI is changing the game for him as an open source project owner, and as a vendor. In short, reports of the death of IT and security tooling at the hands of frontier models have been greatly exaggerated. This episode is also available on Youtube.
