About this episode

This episode discusses the urgency of securing the AI supply chain in cybersecurity.

Enjoy this encore episode of Threat Vector by Palo Alto Networks. AI security is no longer optional, it’s urgent. In this episode of Threat Vector,⁠ David Moulton⁠ sits down with⁠ Ian Swanson⁠, former CEO of Protect AI and now the AI Security Leader at Palo Alto Networks. Ian shares how securing the AI supply chain has become the next frontier in cybersecurity and why every enterprise building or integrating AI needs to treat it like any other software pipeline—rife with dependencies, blind spots, and adversaries ready to exploit them. They also explore "vibe coding" the practice of developers relying on instinct and intuition rather than rigorous review when coding with or around LLMs. It's a fun name for a very real risk. Whether you're a CISO, a developer, or anyone helping shape AI in your organization, this conversation is your guide to locking down AI before it locks you out.
