About the show

Real-world threat intelligence for the age of generative AI—without the hype. Hosted by Rachel James and Dr. Bryan Nakayama of the GenAI Security Project, this show cuts through vendor marketing to explain what's actually happening when threat actors use AI—from ransomware crews wiring malware to AI models, to nation-states building agent-driven attacks. For security practitioners and anyone tracking how AI is really reshaping the threat landscape. Produced by the Gen AI Security Project with help from RumRunner Media.
