Meet our LoopStudio Team at Black Hat & DEFCON 2024

LoopStudio Talks

Real conversations about building with care and security, from the people behind the code and those who trust it.

Episode 11

When Does Your Company Actually Need a Data Project?

Daniel Blanc, LoopStudio’s Data Engineering Lead, talks about the moment companies realize they’ve lost visibility into their own business and what that means in practice. He explains why data consolidation, not analysis, is the hardest part of any data project, how AI readiness starts with data quality rather than the model you pick, and the one question every founder should ask themselves before investing: are you deciding based on information or intuition?

Episode 10

Secure Development With AI Coding Agents

Marcos, our CTO, and Tiago, one of LoopStudio’s Tech Leads, unpack the talk they gave at the OWASP Uruguay meetup on secure development with coding agents. They walk through real data on AI generated vulnerabilities, why shipping fast and shipping safely are different problems, and three concrete examples of what happens when a team hands judgment over to an agent. They also cover how teams adopt AI at different speeds, and the structured workflow Loop uses to keep agents accountable: research, plan, implement, test.

Episode 9

Closing the Remediation Gap with Agentic AI

Marvin Wheeler, co-founder of Tier 4 AI, joins Eduardo our CEO to break down how their Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform is redefining network protection through advanced Agentic AI. Tier 4 AI provides 24/7 virtual analyst support, moving beyond simple notifications to deliver autonomous investigations and remediation in just 3.2 minutes. By eliminating tedious Tier 1 tasks and reducing off-shift coverage costs, the platform allows SOC teams to stop chasing noise and refocus on high-value engineering and strategic security.
