In this deep dive, Marcus reveals the reality behind the AI tech bubble and how executive hype is distracting from actual network vulnerabilities. We discuss the dangers of "vibe coding" critical infrastructure, why reactive SOC teams are giving attackers too much time, and why mastering foundational cybersecurity skills is more important now than ever.
