🎙️ Coffee, Chaos and ProdSec, Ep 21

Security teams love tools and checklists, but most failures start with people, pressure, and messy handoffs.So this week, Kurt and Cameron grab their mugs and break down what certifications do not teach, how human risk shows up in real incidents, and why security only works when it becomes a team sport.

From rushed approvals and blurry ownership, to vulnerability management that turns into prioritization fights, to governance that looks solid until change hits, this episode follows the work where it actually breaks.Your hosts dig into why execution beats perfection, how context matters more than compliance, and where AI speeds up both delivery and abuse while teams are still trying to keep up. It is practical, a little chaotic, and full of moments that feel like “yeah, that tracks.”

If you work in Cybersecurity, Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, Software Supply Chain Security, or you are trying to scale security without losing your mind, this episode is for you.

Ep 20 APIs are the backbone of modern apps, and attackers know it.

This week, Kurt and Cameron break down the API security mess with stories from the trenches, practical fixes, and a few "how is this still happening" moments that'll make you check your own endpoints.

From unauthenticated APIs sitting wide open to broken authorization bugs that let you change one ID and steal the whole database, the hosts walk through the Hall of Shame with examples that sting. They tackle the nightmare of zombie and shadow APIs nobody remembers deploying, explain why API inventory is nearly impossible to maintain, and explore how bots have evolved into AI agents that can scan, exploit, and exfiltrate faster than any human.

Your hosts dig into why security through obscurity still exists in 2026, how to actually test APIs before attackers do, and what happens when AI shopping agents and MCP servers become the new attack surface. It's a tour through Application Security, DevSecOps, and Cybersecurity realities with humor and zero fluff.

If you're building or defending APIs, this episode is required listening.

Cloud security keeps getting more complicated, but identity keeps getting ignored.

So this week, Kurt and Cameron grab their coffee and dig into why identity failures are quietly powering most modern cloud incidents.

From service accounts that never die, to Kubernetes clusters held together with cluster admin access and hope, to APIs nobody remembers exposing, this episode walks through the real reasons cloud security keeps falling apart at scale.

They talk through why teams still treat workload identities like humans, how Kubernetes creates a false sense of safety, why API sprawl and logging pipelines leak more data than people realize, and where AI actually helps versus where it just adds noise and false confidence.

There’s no vendor pitch here. Just honest conversations about tradeoffs, broken assumptions, and the gap between cloud security best practices and what actually survives in production.

If you work in Cybersecurity, Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, Software Supply Chain Security, or you’re trying to make sense of cloud chaos without the buzzwords, this one’s for you.

2026 is getting closer, and security is already acting weird.

So this week, Kurt and Cameron grab their mugs and talk through what they see coming next for Product Security and the teams trying to keep up.

From AI agents showing up in the SOC, AppSec, DevSecOps, and GRC, to supply chain risks getting deeper and harder to see, this episode walks through the trends that are starting to take shape right now. The kind that change how work actually gets done, not just how tools are marketed.

They unpack how AI is speeding up code, reviews, and attacks at the same time, why remediation speed is becoming the real bottleneck, and how identity, cloud, and infrastructure are turning into the main battlegrounds. There are strong opinions, a few laughs, and plenty of moments where the future feels exciting and a little uncomfortable.

If you work in Cybersecurity, Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, or Software Supply Chain Security, this episode is a look at 2026 through the lens of people who live this stuff every day. All powered by coffee and curiosity.

🎙️ Coffee, Chaos and ProdSec, Ep 17

Breaking into cybersecurity without a degree feels impossible, yet people do it every single day. So this week, Cameron and Kurt grab their mugs and get real about how career changers actually break into Product Security, Application Security, DevSecOps, and Cloud Security when their background looks nothing like tech.

Your hosts dive into the honest truth behind this path, the rejection, the gatekeeping, and the internal drive it takes to push through. They explore how personal brand becomes your signal in a noisy market, how a strong pivot story makes people want to invest in you, why networking still matters more than any certification, and which technical skills help you stand out early. They even dig into how AI has become a learning accelerator for anyone who knows how to use it with intention.

If you are trying to make the jump into security or you want to help someone who is, this episode gives you a roadmap instead of a motivational slogan.

🎙️ Coffee, Chaos and ProdSec - Ep 16

Last week we mapped the problem — now we break the system. Kurt and Cameron return with part two of our vulnerability deep dive, tackling CVSS chaos, broken tooling, exploding CVE volume, and how AI is about to overwhelm traditional prioritization models.

From exposure validation turning 15,000 findings into 300 actionable items, to ASPM finally giving Product Security teams real visibility, to PCI-DSS forcing companies to patch issues that don’t matter, this episode explores where vulnerability management is heading and what “good” will need to look like next.

If you care about Cybersecurity, DevSecOps, Software Supply Chain Security, or how AI will reshape the VM landscape, this one is your next caffeine boost.

Vulnerabilities are piling up faster than teams can read the reports, and vulnerability management is buckling under the weight. So this week, Kurt and Cameron grab their mugs and dig into why modern VM feels impossible, why severity scores mislead everyone, and how reachability and exploitability matter far more than giant spreadsheets of “critical” issues.

From CVSS confusion to EPSS and CISA KEV reshaping prioritization, to AI accelerating discovery and noise, this episode unpacks how we got here and why most organizations are fixing the wrong things.

If you work in Cybersecurity, Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, or you simply enjoy hearing two leaders question the entire VM ecosystem, this one is for you.

DevSecOps gets thrown around in cybersecurity more than any other term, but almost no one agrees on what it actually means.

So this week, Kurt and Cameron pour fresh mugs and unpack the real practices behind modern Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, and Software Supply Chain Security without the marketing fluff.

From threat modeling and architecture reviews, to CI/CD guardrails, identity patterns, SBOMs, pipeline automation, and why DAST still refuses to fit anywhere, this episode digs into how security can integrate into the entire software lifecycle without slowing teams down.

Cameron and Kurt break down why DevSecOps is more culture than tooling, how design flaws start long before code, what AI is about to break next, and why “shift everywhere” beats “shift left” every time.

If you work in cybersecurity or just enjoy hearing two security leaders question reality over caffeine, this one is your new weekly ritual.
