AI is changing cybersecurity, but it is not a magic shield.
Bhaskar Sawant joins The Weird Canadian to talk zero trust, adaptive defense, responsible AI, privacy, and the basic security mistakes even smart systems cannot fix.
In this conversation, Cody and Bhaskar dig into the uncomfortable truth about AI cybersecurity: there is no perfect solution. The episode covers why old reactive security models are not enough, how adaptive defense works, why zero trust is becoming the default mindset, and why founders, engineers, and regular users still need strong security hygiene before relying on AI agents or automation.
