Exploring AI Voice With SuperBloom
Scaling a campaign globally means finding a voice that resonates everywhere—without losing the overall message. For Deel's "Feeling of Deeling" campaign, agency SuperBloom needed exactly that: a consistent brand voice across markets, deployed fast, without sacrificing quality or consent. They built it with Branded AI Voice, powered by real, professional talent.
SuperBloom and Voices break down how the campaign came to life in this on-demand video session—from strategic talent selection through seamless production workflows and global scale, to the governance that future-proofs an audio strategy built to last. You'll hear directly from the team on how they made this happen, plus their advice if you're looking to explore AI voice for your brand.
If you're a marketing executive, agency creative, or brand leader mapping campaigns in international markets, watch this on-demand session to get a real playbook, not a hypothetical—lessons any creative team can apply to their own global rollout.
Modern Applications Are Built on Other People’s Code
Most software relies on open-source packages, libraries, frameworks, SDKs, and third-party components. Your application may contain thousands of dependencies your team never wrote.
One Compromised Package Can Travel Fast
If attackers compromise a trusted dependency, malicious code can potentially spread downstream to every organization that installs or updates it.
Transitive Dependencies Hide the Real Attack Surface
Your developers may approve one package without realizing that it automatically pulls in dozens of additional components — each with its own maintainers and vulnerabilities.
Your AI budget tripled. See real usage patterns with Harmonic.
AI spend is now a major P&L line item—but most teams can't show what it's producing.
Harmonic Security maps AI activity to use cases and teams, revealing real productivity, shelfware, data risk, and adoption trends across approved and unapproved tools.

Automatic Updates Can Introduce Automatic Risk
Keeping software updated is essential, but blindly accepting every new version into production can create supply-chain exposure when an upstream release is compromised.
Abandoned Packages Create Long-Term Problems
A dependency that worked perfectly three years ago may no longer receive security updates. Organizations can remain dependent on software nobody actively maintains.
Know What Your Software Is Built From
Maintain dependency inventories, scan for vulnerabilities, pin critical versions, review unexpected package changes, remove unused libraries, and monitor high-risk components. You don't need to write vulnerable code yourself — sometimes you only need to import it.
