Anyone can build software with AI now, and millions of people are giving it a try. But when AI can spin up an app in minutes, are security risks slipping through the cracks? 👀💻 In our season finale of Random but Memorable, we dive into the promise and pitfalls of building software with AI.

First, in Crash Course, Roo breaks down what vibe coding actually means, why it’s suddenly taken off, and how people are using AI tools to build apps, websites, games, and workflows. Then, in Watchtower Weekly, we look at the security risks, including exposed data and leaked API keys, and why AI-built apps still need real software guardrails.📲

Later, Wade sits down with Jeff Malnick, 1Password’s VP of Engineering for Developer & AI, to discuss how to start vibe coding without creating a cybersecurity risk. From code review and developer best practices to the future of AI-assisted software development, this conversation is packed with practical advice for anyone experimenting with AI and code.🤖👨‍💻

Supply chains, server crashes, and building break-ins. Our latest episode is a reminder that cybersecurity doesn’t stop at the screen. 🏢🔐

We sit down with Deviant Ollam, physical security expert and pentester, as he lifts the lid on the physical “IRL” side of security. From bypassing door locks and badge systems to testing data center defenses, Deviant shares what attackers are looking for, and why the physical layer can be the weakest link. 🚪🔑

But that’s not all! In Watchtower Weekly, we unpack how supply chain attacks are evolving into a self-reinforcing cybercrime economy — where one breach fuels the next, creating an endless loop of access, data, and profit for attackers. ⭕️💻
