Interview with Jeremy Snyder from FireTail about AI Governance

Death by a thousand cuts: the AI shadow IT problem

I think the best description of the AI governance problem during this interview was the title of the award-winning movie, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Generative AI has been disrupting businesses, products, and vendor risk management for a few years now. FireTail is one of the companies trying to address this problem for enterprises, so we check in with Jeremy Snyder to see how things are going.

Segment 1 Resources:

Interview with Allie Mellen about her new book, Code War: How Nations Hack, Spy, and Shape the Digital Battlefield

We're VERY excited to check out Allie's new book, which will be released on St. Patrick's Day 2026! The timing could not be better, as her book is perfectly positioned to provide some much needed perspective on the cyber aspects of the ongoing war in Iran.

Is it normal to see the use of wipers on healthcare companies in the midst of the conflict? Is there any precedent for hyperscaler datacenters getting targeted (some of AWS's EMEA regions are still recovering)? Check out the conversation to find out!

Pick up the book!
