Hosted by Andrius Useckas (Co-founder & CTO of ZioSec), Along The Edge dives deep into agentic AI security: jailbreaks, prompt injection, data leaks, MCP/tooling risks, least privilege for agents, and what “don’t trust, verify” really means in an AI-native stack. Each episode features hands-on practitioners—security architects, red teamers, researchers, and builders—who are actively breaking and defending real systems in production. If you’re building, deploying, or testing AI agents (SDR agents, SOC assistants, coding copilots, internal HR or payroll agents, etc.), this show gives you concrete attack paths, defensive patterns, and hard-earned lessons you won’t get from marketing decks and “AI safety” platitudes. Along The Edge is for: Security engineers and architects responsible for AI/agentic systems Red teams, pentesters, and researchers exploring AI-native attack surfaces Engineering leaders who don’t want to bolt security on after the breach Anyone who suspects “the model will…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/along-the-edge-agentic-ai"},"episode":{"title":"Along The Edge e5 - Vibe Coding Is Replacing Your Favorite SaaS","slug":"along-the-edge-e5-vibe-coding-is-replacing-your-favorite-saas","published_at":"2026-03-27T20:34:27+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/along-the-edge-agentic-ai/along-the-edge-e5-vibe-coding-is-replacing-your-favorite-saas","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/along-the-edge-agentic-ai","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/f72004f5","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/f72004f5/ed372a57.mp3","summary":"The rise of 'vibe coding' allows developers to rapidly replace specialized SaaS tools with custom, AI-generated solutions.
