Episode 164: Offensive Security in the Age of AI – What Has Changed?

AI is changing the landscape of offensive security, but it’s not the magic bullet that many believe. In this episode, the team cuts through the hype with no-nonsense insights on how AI is really impacting pen testing and cyber threats today.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why the idea of fully autonomous AI hackers is mostly a myth—at least for now.
  • The current strengths and limitations of AI-driven pen testing tools.
  • How AI is accelerating reconnaissance and OSINT, making attacks faster and more efficient.
  • The importance of focusing on fundamental security practices, not just chasing “shiny object” AI solutions.
  • Practical advice for defenders to stay effective as both offense and defense evolve with AI.
