Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SPECIAL EDITION: What Would a Mythos-Resilient SOC Look Like?
Q: What role do AI agents play in the SOC today, and what is their potential future impact?
AI agents already autonomously investigate alerts, de-duplicate data, and produce evidence-backed conclusions; in the future they will drive more advanced hunting, threat intelligence, and telemetry integration, allowing human analysts to focus on high-value work and strategic decisions.
SPECIAL EDITION: What Would a Mythos-Resilient SOC Look Like?
Q: How do Mythos-like models change the situation for SOC analysts?
They enable attackers to discover and exploit vulnerabilities more efficiently, which in turn increases the pressure on SOCs to automate alert investigations and scale analytical capacity, while defenders must rely on AI agents to process more signals and reduce mean time to disposition.
How AI code is changing software development
Q: To start with, could you tell me how much of OpenAI's internal code is now generated using Codex?
Codex has significantly increased code output within our teams, and we see a substantial portion of product code being written with Codex as a core building block, integrated into CI pipelines with appropriate review and validation.
The race to become quantum-safe
Q: What makes quantum computing so different in terms of cryptography compared to traditional computing?
Quantum computers can process certain problems, like factoring large numbers, far more efficiently than classical computers, which threatens RSA and ECC and necessitates new post-quantum algorithms and a rethink of how keys and signatures are managed.
Can Europe achieve AI sovereignty?
Q: What future trends do you foresee for AI sovereignty in Europe in the next 12-24 months?
Expect increased interest in sovereign solutions and more partnerships that allow global technologies to be consumed in a sovereign manner, driven by geopolitical dynamics and ongoing dialogues between the EU and US. Many organisations will explore a mix of on-premises, regional data centers, and hybrid cloud models.
