Brandon Dixon, founder of cybersecurity startup Ent, explains how an on-device AI agent can proactively stop security breaches before they happen—a shift from reactive cleanup. He discusses how AI tools are giving non-technical employees dangerous powers, and why on-device AI beats cloud-based scanning. The second half features David Im, creator of Sume's Avatar, a multi-model orchestration layer that generates accurate UGC videos from a single prompt on the first try. The episode highlights the hot intersection of AI and cybersecurity, with Ent raising a $100M seed round.
