a16z Podcast · rss · 2026-08-07
The a16z podcast hosts the founders of Truffle Security and Socket to discuss a fundamental shift in cybersecurity: frontier AI models are no longer just finding vulnerabilities—they are actively exploiting them.
The conversation covers AI-powered hacking, software supply chain attacks, leaked credentials, and zero-day vulnerabilities. As the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation narrows, developers, enterprises, and the open-source ecosystem must rapidly adapt their defenses against increasingly autonomous AI systems.
