In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, we speak with Ian Amit, co-founder and CEO of Gomboc.ai, about how AI agents are revolutionizing cybersecurity and infrastructure management.


Drawing on his extensive background as both an attacker and defender in the cybersecurity space, Ian discusses how deterministic AI can identify and fix vulnerabilities in cloud environments, optimize performance, and reduce engineering toil at the source—right within the development environment.


Ian explains how Gomboc.ai shifts the focus from merely identifying problems to actually fixing them in real-time, embedded within the coding process.


We also explore why generative AI often falls short in secure engineering applications and how Gomboc’s deterministic approach brings speed, accuracy, and trust to software development.


Whether you're a DevOps professional, security engineer, or tech leader, this episode offers key insights into the future of AI-powered development and cybersecurity.
