Transcript: America’s Cybersecurity Crisis Starts With Software (W/Jen Easterly)
Jen Easterly, former CISA director, argues that America’s cyber crisis stems from poor software quality rather than a pure security problem. Decades of market incentives have pushed vendors to prioritize speed and features over secure code, creating a massive market failure. CISA’s Secure‑by‑Design campaign and a proposed software‑liability regime aim to realign incentives, while new frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT‑5.5 promise rapid vulnerability detection. An upcoming executive order seeks to codify these private‑sector safeguards and regulate AI‑driven cyber tools.
