In this episode of the Application Security Podcast, Chris Romeo and Robert Hurlbut welcome back Steve Wilson, a global leader in AI security and Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, as well as founder of the OWASP Gen AI Security Project.
Steve shares how his AI assistant was “hacked” using a simple phishing attack, highlighting a major shift in security—AI agents behave more like humans than traditional software. The conversation explores how this changes the threat model, why AppSec is struggling to keep up, and how organizations should approach the practical security of AI systems.
They also cover the risks of autonomous agents, the expanding blast radius of failures, and what AppSec professionals can do now to adapt.
