In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Jack Poller and Drew Conry-Murray as they discuss what’s hot in the non-AI areas of security.

They also discuss how enterprises are focused on securing browsers with extensions and not forcing a specific application. The guests debate the advantages and disadvantages of all of these aspects as well as how AI will eventually provide additional context around them all.
