Email your questions and topics to the podcast here [securityblvdpodcast@futurumgroup.com]. What happens to your security team when public certificate lifetimes shrink to just 47 days? In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast [https://youtu.be/GI1vs43Jevs], Tom Hollingsworth [https://www.linkedin.com/in/networkingnerd/], Fernando Montenegro [https://www.linkedin.com/in/fsmontenegro/], and Mitch Ashley [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchellashley/] tackle the looming operational nightmare of ultra-short certificate validity and why manual management is officially hitting its breaking point. The panel explores the "Red Queen Hypothesis" in cybersecurity, moving faster just to stay still, before shifting gears to the impact of Anthropic’s Mythos on vulnerability management. Discover how Microsoft’s partnership with Anthropic is turning AI from a weapon into a tool in the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC), the reality of "vibe coding," and why the industry must choose between automated patching or catastrophic failure in the age of the zero-day.
