The four Empirical Trainers and joined by the biggest and best Empirical member, the Community! For another live podcast discussion and Q+A.

This week we dive into the topics that have gotten our community talking most. First we explore the potential security implications of the OpenAI and Apple partnership, how the free-market succeeds and fails to regulate security and whether the uproar has been justified. We then look into the related topic of shadow engineering, the new shadow IT, which creates challenges for the most basic of security principles: you can't secure what you can't see.
