About this Episode
🔒 How do we secure software in an era of open-source dominance and AI-driven threats?
On this episode of Tech Transforms, Scott Orton and Mike Mehlberg join Carolyn Ford to explore the future of secure software development. They tackle:
✅ The Power of SBOMs – Why software transparency is a game-changer (and why some companies still resist it)
✅ Open-Source Risks – How attackers exploit vulnerabilities in widely used packages and what to do about it
✅ Rust Programming Language – The case for transitioning to a more secure, memory-safe coding environment
✅ AI in Software Development – How AI is transforming cybersecurity, from automated vulnerability detection to mitigating risks before they happen
✅ Cross-Domain Solutions – The push toward hygienic networks and a proactive approach to security in classified environments
They also discuss real-world security threats, including a recent open-source software attack that nearly went undetected. Plus, Scott shares his vision for AI inspired by non-human intelligence (think squids and insects! 🦑).
