Accessibility in AI Security, Meta Glasses, and Practical Tips with Tiffani Martin

From API Security to AI Security: Inside the OWASP Exchange with Escape’s Yacine Souam

What happens when AI agents start behaving like autonomous users inside your infrastructure? In this episode, we sit down with Yacine Souam, an R&D engineer at Escape — the Y Combinator-funded, Forbes 30 Under 30-recognized cybersecurity startup — to explore one of the fastest-growing frontiers in tech: the intersection of AI security and API security. Yacine shares his journey through cybersecurity and AI research, along with his work on the OWASP Exchange, an initiative helping bridge the gap between security professionals, developers, and AI practitioners. The conversation dives into why AI security is becoming inseparable from API security, especially as AI agents increasingly interact with internal systems, APIs, and sensitive data. We explore the emerging challenges companies face in securing AI models and autonomous agents, from observability gaps and permission scoping to adversarial machine learning and prompt injection attacks. Yacine explains why AI agents should be treated as non-human identities and how principles like least privilege and security-by-design are becoming essential for modern AI deployments. The episode also covers real-world security concerns, including supply chain risks in the AI ecosystem and lessons from the recent LiteLLM incident. Along the way, Yacine shares practical advice for engineers, founders, and security teams looking to safely adopt AI while maintaining innovation speed. Whether you’re building AI products, securing APIs, or simply trying to understand where the future of cybersecurity is headed, this episode offers a grounded and highly practical look into the rapidly evolving world of AI security. Stay curious, keep experimenting, and learn how security is evolving alongside AI.

Accessibility in AI Security, Meta Glasses, and Practical Tips with Tiffani Martin

This episode will change what you think about Meta smart glasses, AI governance, and compliance with accessibility requirements. In this episode, we are joined by Tiffani Martin, founder of Visio Tech, to talk about accessibility for Global Accessibility Awareness Day. We talk about the helpful benefits as well as security and privacy considerations for Meta glasses, smart canes, and assistive technology. We also cover why accessibility needs to be considered alongside the traditional pillars of AI governance.

Legal Perspective on AI Security With Alyson Laderman

Someone told an AI chatbot that their lawyer was gaslighting them. In this episode, we talk about AI security in the context of the law and look at AI security from the legal perspective with Alyson Laderman. Alyson provides a lawyer's perspective on many of the emerging risks in AI security, whether you should use an AI tool for legal advice, and using AI as a starting point to figure out questions to ask. We also talk about instances where a woman used a chatbot to determine her lawyer was lying and how that actually ended up causing more harm when she got to court. Check out this episode for in-depth overview of AI security from a legal perspective.

AI Security for Small Businesses: UK Perspectives and Neurodiversity with Lisa Ventura

AI security is increasingly relevant for small businesses, where limited resources and fast-moving adoption can create unique challenges and opportunities. In this episode, Lisa Ventura joins the conversation to share UK-focused perspectives on how organisations can better understand and approach AI security in practice. We explore how neurodiversity contributes valuable strengths to cybersecurity teams, particularly in identifying patterns, managing complexity, and improving resilience in AI-driven environments. The discussion also touches on the realities small businesses face as they adopt AI tools, from governance considerations to everyday security awareness. Rather than focusing on hype, this episode looks at practical, real-world considerations shaping how AI security is understood and applied across the UK small business landscape. This conversation is for anyone interested in how AI security is evolving in real-world business environments, and the human factors that shape it.

The Companies House Breach: AI, Accountability & Human Judgment with Michala Liavaag

In this episode, we’re joined by UK-based cybersecurity leader Michala Liavaag for a focused, real-world conversation on what the Companies House breach teaches us about modern security, AI, and accountability. With a background as a classical pianist turned security strategist, and now founder of Cybility Consulting, Michala brings a distinctive, human-centered lens to cybersecurity. We dive deep into the Companies House breach, which was a devastating breach in the UK, unpacking what happened, where controls and oversight fell short, and why incidents like this highlight the importance of cybersecurity awareness and education. Michala explains why AI can support detection and efficiency, but cannot replace human judgment, especially in complex, high-stakes scenarios. We also talk about accessibility considerations when traveling at airports and navigating security checkpoints which are now augmented by AI. Grounded in a real incident and expert insight, this episode provides great advice for charities, non-profits, and leaders.
