Today in Tech

#TodayinTech Are cybersecurity teams already falling behind in the age of AI? In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw chats with Evan Pena, founder and Chief Offensive Security Officer at Armadin, to explore how AI is transforming cyberattacks, cybersecurity defense, and the future of cyber warfare. Evan explains why AI-powered attackers can now find vulnerabilities faster, scale attacks across thousands of systems, and dramatically lower the cost of launching sophisticated cyber campaigns. The conversation also explores Zero Trust security, AI agents, identity management, autonomous cyber defense, ransomware trends, nation-state threats, critical infrastructure attacks, and the rise of AI-driven security operations. Topics include: * Why AI is giving cybercriminals a massive advantage * The rise of autonomous AI-powered attacks * Are Zero Trust security strategies already falling behind? * How defenders can use AI to fight back * What the next three years of cyber warfare could look like Is AI giving hackers an unbeatable advantage, or can defenders use the same technology to fight back?

Are self-driving cars finally ready for everyday use, or is the hype still ahead of the reality? In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw sits down with Edwin Olson, CEO and Founder of May Mobility, to break down where autonomous vehicles truly stand as we head into 2026. From AI reasoning models and real-world deployments to the challenges of weather, unpredictable human drivers, and scaling nationwide fleets, Olson shares what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s coming next for ride-hailing, public transit, and the future of car ownership.

This episode of Today in Tech is different. Instead of talking about enterprise software or cybersecurity, we step inside one man’s fight for survival — and the revolutionary medical technology that helped save his life. Keith Shaw is joined by Douglas Meijer (co-chairman, Meijer Inc.) and Dr. Brandon Mancini of BAMF Health to tell the astonishing story of how an often-overlooked cancer treatment called theranostics helped identify and target tumors that surgery and radiation couldn’t reach. After traveling overseas to receive life-saving care, Doug returned with a mission: bring this breakthrough to the United States so other patients wouldn’t have to leave the country for hope. In this deeply personal conversation, they explore: * What it feels like to receive a life-changing diagnosis * How precision medicine is replacing “one-size-fits-all” cancer treatments * Why theranostics acts like a guided missile against cancer — sparing healthy cells * How a new wave of AI is accelerating imaging, diagnosis, and personalized care * The barriers that still keep cutting-edge treatments out of reach for many patients * Why the future of cancer care may finally be shifting toward real cures This is a story about technology — but more importantly, it’s about hope, perseverance, and saving lives. If you or someone you love has faced cancer, this episode shows what’s now possible — and why the next decade could be the most hopeful in cancer treatment history.

AI agents are exploding across the enterprise—but security hasn’t caught up. In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw talks with Michael Bargury, co-founder and CTO of Zenity, about why every AI agent is inherently vulnerable, how zero-click attacks work, and what companies must do now to reduce their risk. Bargury explains how attackers can hijack AI agents with simple persuasion, plant malicious “memories,” and silently exfiltrate sensitive data from tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Salesforce, and Cursor, often without users ever clicking on anything. You’ll learn: * Why AI agents are always vulnerable by design * How prompt injection = persuasion, not just a technical bug * What zero-click agent attacks look like in the real world * How attackers can weaponize shared docs, Jira tickets, and email automations * Why there is no such thing as a “fully secure” agent platform * Practical steps to monitor, contain, and manage AI agent risk Chapters 0:00 – Introduction, overview: Why every AI agent can be hacked 1:00 – First enterprise AI attack on Microsoft Copilot 3:15 – Systemic vulnerabilities and why things got worse 4:35 – Why agents are always gullible by design 6:10 – Prompt injection vs simple persuasion 8:00 – Zero-click attacks explained 10:30 – Hacking ChatGPT via Google Drive & shared docs 13:40 – Planting malicious “memories” in your AI 15:30 – The Cursor + Jira “apples” exploit for stealing secrets 20:10 – Thousands of exposed Copilot Studio agents on the internet 23:30 – Goal hijacking: convincing agents to change their mission 24:50 – Dumping Salesforce data via a customer-success agent 26:50 – Soft vs hard security boundaries for AI 28:15 – What vendors fixed—and what they can’t fix 31:10 – Why “secure AI platform” is a myth 33:30 – What enterprises must own in the shared responsibility model 36:20 – Treating agents like risky insiders to monitor 39:00 – How AI security needs to evolve next 40:57 – Closing thoughts

Most companies are still learning how to use chatbots and copilots—but what happens when AI doesn’t wait for a prompt? In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw speaks with Bhavin Shah, CEO of Moveworks, about the rise of ambient agents: AI tools that proactively take action across enterprise systems before users even know help is needed. Discover how these autonomous agents are redefining workflows, slashing IT response times, boosting compliance, and delivering real ROI, far beyond reactive chatbots or copilots. Key topics: What makes ambient agents different from traditional AI agents Real-world examples from IT, HR, and enterprise automation How enterprises can integrate agents with tools like Slack, ServiceNow, and Salesforce Why trust, privacy, and gradual adoption are critical The psychology of automation and user behavior When and where we’ll see ambient agents become mainstream Subscribe for more deep dives into generative AI, automation, and enterprise tech.
