The pace of technological advancement and the evolution of hacker behaviors makes recording episodes of this podcast well in advance a bit or a risk. There’s always the worry that whatever we discuss could become less relevant by the time it goes live. Today’s episode, however, bucks that trend.
The number of AI programs that have made headlines recently for busting out of their developmental sandboxes has generated some justified scrutiny of AI-based security solutions.
And while all of these developers deserve the heat they’re getting, it’s also important to not let these missteps serve as an excuse to delay your use of AI in strengthening cyber defenses.
I’m excited to have you listen to a conversation I had recently with AirMDR’s CEO Kumar Saurabh. His unbridled enthusiasm about how AI can help the good guys keep pace with evolving threats and implement solutions far more quickly and cost-effectively than even months ago, serves as a critical reminder to continue moving forward with AI implementations, albeit at possibly a more measured pace.
Watch/listen as we discuss:
- How AI also simplifies and scales things for the good guys.
- Why AI is only in the second inning of the game.
- How an AI strategy should be like "building the car around the engine."
- Why AI could be the solution for enterprises trying to implement cybersecurity fixes, but lack the time and resources.
- Where agents and humans can compliment each other.
- Why shrinking attack windows mean manufacturers have to pick up the pace for response.
- Ways to identify the right tools and platforms for your organization.
A copy of the report mentioned by Kumar can be found here.
