Different topics, yes, but both point to the same thing: AI is reshaping everything from Google's hardware designs to the security world, and we'd better get ready: The tech world isn't slowing down for anyone.

Thinking about it that way, our current AI paradigm will likely never escape prompt injection attacks - you can't patch out the ability to con someone with language, human or not, it seems.

Join host Brandon Vigliarolo, El Reg cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons, an senior reporter Tom Claburn to talk about just what prompt injections mean for the future of AI and cyberseurity.

Join host Brandon Vigliarolo, APAC editor Simon Sharwood, and senior reporter Tom Claburn to discuss the Mythos news, what it means, and why it's probably appropriate to be a bit skeptical of all the company's claims.

Join cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons, senior reporter Thomas Claburn, and host Brandon Vigliarolo as they pick apart the leak of Claude Code's source, its security implications, what's been found in the code, and more.

Along with agentic AI, The Register security editor Jessica Lyons tells host Brandon Vigliarolo that other hot topics at the industry's big event this year are likely to include the war in Iran, North Korean IT employment scammers, and maybe a bit of politics too: The US government won't be represented at all at this year's event at all.
