In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast, Mitch Ashley, Fernando Montenegro, and Tom Hollingsworth cover several of the most active conversations in cybersecurity and software development today.

The panel examines Palo Alto Networks’ SHIELD framework, the rise of vibe coding, and the security risks that emerge when non-programmers begin building software without embedded security practices. The discussion also looks at how security is shifting earlier into development workflows, the evolution of data security platforms, and how AI is reshaping software development across the industry.
