AP_EP86 - Is AI Killing AppSec… or Making It More Critical?
Mar 27, 2026
Episode 86
Colin Bell, Rob Cuddy & Kris Duer
Is AI making application security obsolete, or exposing new risks we don’t fully understand?
In Episode 86 of Application Paranoia, Colin Bell is joined by Rob Cuddy and Kris Duer to challenge the growing narrative driven in part by Anthropic that AI-powered development could replace traditional AppSec.
The team explores whether AI is accelerating productivity at the expense of understanding, and what that means for developers, security teams, and organisations trying to keep pace.
They also discuss:
- Whether AI is changing how we think (and learn)
- The risks of “vibe coding” and over-reliance on LLMs
- Why AppSec isn’t disappearin but evolving
- Key findings from the latest AppSec trends report, including AI adoption, API visibility gaps, and ownership challenges
And of course, a new term is born: confidence laundering.
