Episode 290 - Authentication Fatigue, Browser AI Agents

Absolute AppSec

Ken returns after a week's hiatus to review the latest AppSec news with Seth. Specifically, the idea that authentication fatigue exists for both consumers and developers. The amount of choice to implement security controls can have unintended consequences and introduces risk that may or may not be considered. This is followed by research from SquareX that claims Browser AI Agents are riskier and easier to target than employees. This results in opinions on phishing and protections against consumer/business targeting by attackers.
