The Track2AI Podcast

The Dark Web, TikTok Brain, and the Industrialization of Cybercrime

What is technology actually doing to our behavior, our judgment, and our sense of what is real? Rivka Tadjer, CEO of ZeroHack and former White House Cybersecurity Working Group advisor, to explore the psychological battlefield of modern cybercrime. We move beyond the technical "how-to" and dive into the "why": how TikTok-style content has rewired our attention spans and how the Dark Web has turned identity theft into a sophisticated, global marketplace.

Claude Mythos, Zero-Day Threats, and How to Protect Your Company

What happens when AI is so good at finding cybersecurity risks that its creators are afraid to release it to the masses? Craig Taylor, CEO and Co-Founder of CyberHoot, discusses Anthropic’s newest AI model: Claude Mythos. As a 30-year cybersecurity veteran and a CISSP, he explains some of the findings of Project Glasswing and the "Human Firewall." Plus, we explore the "dual-use" dilemma: a tool that can find a 27-year-old bug in hours can also be weaponized to harm society if cybercriminal got ahold of it. Key Takeaways * How gamification is the best approach to cybersecurity training. * Claude Mythos Explained * The 27-Year Bug: How AI found vulnerabilities in OpenBSD that humans missed for decades. * What's Project Glasswing and what companies are part of it? * Building the Human Firewall: Why employee behavior is still your final line of defense.

Why Your AI Models Need a Cybersecurity Strategy

You’ve spent the time and budget to roll out a custom AI model, but is it secure? We often think of cybersecurity as protecting passwords and servers, but AI introduces entirely new risks like prompt injection and model manipulation. Shaun Cuttill, CTO of Mountain Theory, discusses the specialized world of AI Infrastructure Defense.  Discover why security for your AI is no longer an afterthought and how to protect your organization's most valuable digital assets. Key Takeaways * AI Security vs. Traditional Cyber: Why your existing firewall isn't enough for LLMs. * The Anatomy of an AI Attack: What it looks like when a model is compromised or manipulated. * Enterprise Risk: Why small businesses and Fortune 500s alike are vulnerable to AI threats. * The Trust Gap: How human behavior and "blind trust" in AI output creates a security vacuum. * The 5-Year Horizon: What the world looks like if AI security remains an afterthought.
