Big thank you to Radware for sponsoring this video. Download the Radware Global Threat Analysis Report 2026 here: https://www.radware.com/threat-analysis-report/ In this interview, David Bombal sits down with Radware's Pascal Geenens to unpack the realities of the latest global threat report. The cybersecurity landscape has experienced a major paradigm shift: the era of "Vibe Hacking" is here. Pascal explains how Agentic AI, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and uncensored offline models (like DeepSeek-R1) have created a "digital garden of Eden" for adversaries. Discover how novice script kiddies are now use the power of AI hacking which once strictly reserved for nation-state actors. We dive deep into the automation of cyber attacks, the rise of AI-driven tools like Xantarox AI, the critical dangers of AI-generated code vulnerabilities, and why traditional defense mechanisms are struggling to keep up with non-deterministic AI threats. // Pascal Geenens’ SOCIAL // LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geenensp/ Website: https://www.radware.com/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: https://discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X: https://www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gERfuriI96efWWLQQ SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/davidbombal Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/david-bombal/id1466865532 // MY STUFF // https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?
