The gap between what AI vendors build and what customers actually need has reached a breaking point in 2026.

In this episode of Security Boulevard, hosts Tom Hollingsworth, Mitch Ashley, and Fernando Montenegro discuss the growing tension between vendor roadmaps and user reality.

The team dives deep into the "Spring of Agentic 2026," discussing how the meteoric rise of OpenClaw disrupted the industry and forced major vendors to pivot toward real-world utility. From the rise of "vibe coding" and shadow AI to the critical need for faster OODA loops in cybersecurity, they explore how organizations are struggling to govern a world where anyone with a credit card and a browser can deploy an agent.

Are security teams leading the charge or just trying to keep up with the 10,000 RPM speed of AI development? This and more on Security Boulevard Podcast.
