We’re in an AI arms race, and the bad guys might be winning.

On this episode of Security Intelligence, Suja Viswesan, Dave McGinnis and Jeff Crume join host Matt Kosinski to dig into IBM’s 2026 Cost of a Data Breach report. This year’s findings suggest that attackers are weaponizing AI faster than defenders can deploy it, leading to some very troubling capability gaps.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. We also look at the very real steps organizations can take to start closing those gaps today. They’re not as hard as you might think!

Then: Hugging Face got hacked. By a rogue AI agent. From OpenAI. It was trying to cheat on a test. We talk about the lessons we can learn, including the vital importance of open-source AI tools and how coalitional approaches to cybersecurity can unlock institutional knowledge that no training dataset can ever bestow on even the most diligent LLM.
