Helping Defense's Use of AI Catch Up With Offense, Cost of the Vulnpocalypse - Evan Powell - ESW #461
SC World, Monday, June 1st, 2026
ESW #461 with Evan Powell on closing AI's offense-defense gap and the cost of the AI-driven 'vulnpocalypse'.
This Enterprise Security Weekly episode (#461) features DeepTempo founder Evan Powell discussing how generative and agentic AI are improving cyberattacks faster than defenses, with offensive tactics gaining the most from AI and further eroding any defender advantage.
Powell, a serial entrepreneur with deep-learning experience who founded DeepTempo in 2023 to apply collective intelligence and deep learning to security, shares ideas for how defenders can also benefit from AI and why open source matters in that approach.
The segment ties into the 'vulnpocalypse'-the scenario where AI tools that find software vulnerabilities are weaponized to discover flaws at unprecedented scale, compressing attack timelines from months to minutes-and discusses its cost. The episode also covers security news of the week.
