from Cloud Security Podcast · host TechRiot.io
The silos between Application Security and Cloud Security are officially breaking down, and AI is the primary catalyst. In this episode, Tejas Dakve, Senior Manager, Application Security, Bloomberg Industry Group and Aditya Patel, VP of Cybersecurity Architecture discuss how the AI-driven landscape is forcing a fundamental change in how we secure our applications and infrastructure.The conversation explores why traditional security models and gates are "absolutely impossible" to maintain against the sheer speed and volume of AI-generated code . Learn why traditional threat modeling is no longer a one-time event, how the lines between AppSec and CloudSec are merging, and why the future of the industry belongs to "T-shaped engineers" with a multidisciplinary range of skills.Guest Socials - Tejas's Linkedin + Aditya's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:30) Who is Tejas Dakve?
