Security teams don’t review software. They review systems.In this Secure & Scale Podcast episode, we sit down with Emily Choi-Greene from Clearly AI to unpack what that actually means in practice, and why most security tooling is still only solving a slice of the problem 🎙️Emily breaks down why 75% of modern security reviews aren’t code at all, and why system-level context is where real risk lives.We get into:• Why AI is not the perfect solution to every problem 🤖• Why security teams review systems, not just code 🧠• What breaks when teams only focus on code vulnerabilities• Raising the floor with baseline security controls 📈• Where humans are still essential in security decisions 👥• Why security has to move at the speed of shipping software ⚡One of the biggest takeaways:Security isn’t a checklist of tools. It’s understanding how systems interact, where data flows, and where those connections quietly break.If you’re building in security or shipping AI-native products, this is a must-listen conversation 🎧🔗 Emily Choi-Greene’s LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/eTMEVvVj🏢 Clearly AI: https://lnkd.in/e9MV6jdG👤 Jack Brandwood: https://lnkd.in/dFMyDUEN🎵 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eij7j2m▶️ YouTube: https://lnkd.in/evEFhtb2
