Summary

How should we think about security when many of the most important problems are not purely technical? Bruce Schneier joins us to discuss the challenge of communicating complex security ideas to non-technical audiences, the lasting relevance of security theatre, and why psychology, economics, and governance often matter as much as code. We also explore artificial intelligence, manipulated media, cybercrime, regulation, and the growing need for people who can bridge the worlds of engineering, policy, and society.
