So, we (Tim and Anton, the crew behind the podcast) wanted to post another reflections blog based on our Cloud Security Podcast by Google being almost 3 (we will be 3 years old on Feb 11, 2024, to be precise), kind of similar to this one. But we realized we don’t have enough new profound reflections…. We do have a few fun new things!
So, what did we do differently in 2023?
- We started doing the LIVE VIDEO recording sessions (the latest)
- We have a fun new community site for discussions
We also covered a lot of AI... what a NOT surprise 🙂 Let’s go and reflect on that! So we have covered AI for security, we have covered securing AI and we have not yet covered the third pillar (countering the AI-armed attacker).
Here are AI our episodes aired in 2023 (we had AI episodes before, but only 3 of them):
- EP150 Taming the AI Beast: Threat Modeling for Modern AI Systems with Gary McGraw
- EP146 AI Security: Solving the Problems of the AI Era: A VC’s Insights
- EP144 LLMs: A Double-Edged Sword for Cloud Security? Weighing the Benefits and Risks of Large Language Models
- EP137 Next 2023 Special: Conference Recap — AI, Cloud, Security, Magical Hallway Conversations
- EP136 Next 2023 Special: Building AI-powered Security Tools — How Do We Do It?
- EP135 AI and Security: The Good, the Bad, and the Magical
- EP119 RSA 2023 — What We Saw, What We Learned, and What We’re Excited About (well, it was mostly about AI)
As a side note, Google Cloud also published SAIF and two exciting papers on AI security and some fun blogs. AI of course will continue to be in our coverage, and a “fun” new episode on AI governance is coming soon (How about that? FUN and GOVERNANCE in the same sentence!).
Overall, here is how word cloud of our 2023 episode titles looks like:
Top episodes from all years:
- “EP1 Confidentially Speaking“

Finally, an obvious call to action!
