  Inside AI's New 'Build vs. Buy' Dilemma - #0079, Daniel Zahavi

  Jun 8, 202640 minS0

  <p>Every boardroom in the world is having the same conversation right now. A vendor pitches an AI product. Someone on the executive team then asks the question that has become the most disruptive five words in enterprise software: “Can’t we just build it?”</p><p>Increasingly, the answer appears to be yes. The barrier to generating a working prototype has collapsed. With the right prompt and an afternoon with plenty of coffee, a modest technical team can produce something that looks convincingly like the product they were just quoted six figures to buy.</p><p>And so, the logic...

  Startup Nation's Most Expensive Lesson - #0078, Giora Gil-Ad

  Jun 4, 202653 minS0

  <p>Last week, I heard a number that should terrify every founder raising a Series A.</p><p>Between 50% and 60% of Israeli tech startups that reach round A never make it to round B. Think of it: You’ve pitched, hustled, and convinced initial investors that your idea is worth betting on… yet statistically, you’re more likely to flame out before the next round than not.</p><p>The reasons are messier than most founders want to admit. It’s not always the product or market. A lot of the time, it comes down to one hire. The first real sal...

  The Clock Is Ticking on Encryption - #0077, Itamar Sivan

  Jun 1, 202646 minS0

  <p>I’ll be honest: I entered into this most recent conversation for The Spiro Circle knowing almost nothing about quantum computing. I said as much to my guest, Itamar Sivan, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines, before we even started recording. That’s alright - most people don’t really understand it, he told me. Even scientists used to laugh at the idea that quantum computing would ever be commercially viable.</p><p>But then, about halfway through our conversation, he said something that piqued my curiosity and made me put down my notes.</p><p>The threat isn’t that q...

  The Future of Cybersecurity May Look Like Swarms of AI Hackers - #0076, Shahar Peled

  May 20, 202645 minS0

  <p>Imagine the scene: A developer at a large financial institution merged a routine code update. Nothing alarming yet, just a minor change that, on its own, meant little.</p><p>But Terra Security’s AI agents were watching.</p><p>AI agents flagged the change, verified a potential vulnerability, and then did something a human penetration tester probably wouldn’t have done. They kept looking. Eventually, they found two more vulnerabilities nearby, each individually insignificant. But they spotted a pattern and connected all three together.</p><p>“1+1+1 = 1,000,” said Shahar Peled, co-founder and CEO of Terra Security. The result was a Remote...

  Employees Are Leaking Corporate Secrets Through ChatGPT - #0075, Itamar Golan

  May 15, 202651 minS0

  <p>There’s a new security risk out there, and it’s come to be known as The Shadow AI Problem.</p><p>It suggests that the next major corporate data breach may not come from a sophisticated nation-state actor or a phishing campaign, but rather from an employee asking an AI chatbot to read or summarize sensitive company data.</p><p>That’s the reality Itamar Golan has spent the last two years building a company around. As co-founder and CEO of Prompt Security (acquired by SentinelOne earlier this year for $250 million), he has become one of the voices warnin...
