Episode 4 - Cybersecurity and AI with Kaeli Smith

In this episode, we welcome cybersecurity expert Kaylee Smith to discuss how cybersecurity fits into agile delivery and product leadership. Together, we explore the challenges and opportunities of embedding security practices into every stage of product development. We talk about aligning risk management, compliance, and security architecture with agile methodologies, and examine how AI is transforming cybersecurity—from automating threat detection to improving incident response.Throughout our conversation, we emphasize that security is a shared responsibility across all teams, not just the cybersecurity department. We also discuss the cultural shift needed to view security as a business enabler, and share practical approaches to vulnerability management, incident response, and building security awareness within agile teams. Our goal is to help product leaders and teams see security as integral to delivering value—and to equip them with actionable strategies for embedding security into their workflows.
