(Presented by TLPBLACK: A cybersecurity intelligence platform focused on sharing curated, high-sensitivity threat insights and research with trusted security professionals.)

Three Buddy Problem x Offensive AI Con: Ollie Whitehouse, CTO of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, joins us to explain how Britain is preparing for an AI-driven patch wave and why the NCSC is pressing edge-device vendors to finally ship real telemetry.

Plus, we dig into rogue AI agents wandering into a Five Eyes network, along with his forecast that small, capable models could revive self-spreading worms around 2030, all part of what he calls the biggest forced correction of technical debt the industry will ever see.
