Cybersecurity and the Secure Lifecycle When Agents Write Code

Episodes

1. 1

   Why software security is part of ordinary life

   Pay, health, identity, home, and work now run through software. Cybersecurity is how that software stays worthy of the trust people have already placed in it, and why the question cannot wait for a late review.

2. 2

   What a secure development lifecycle asks

   A secure software development lifecycle is the habit of deciding, in each phase, what the software must never do to the people who depend on it. A scan on the last day cannot replace those earlier decisions.

3. 3

   Where agent speed hides the real risk

   Coding agents shorten the time between an idea and a change that looks ready. The danger is treating that speed as proof the lifecycle already happened.

4. 4

   Prepare the model, the scan, and the test

   Threat modeling, static analysis, and a penetration test only protect people when they are prepared. This is why each one matters, and how to set it up before an agent drafts the change.

5. 5

   Who owns the software an agent helped write

   Agentic coding will keep getting faster. Ownership does not move with it. A person, a gate that can fail, and a record of what shipped still stand between the draft and the life it touches.
