About this episode
The episode discusses the reality of AI in cyber attacks and debunks the myth of AI hallucinations.
Are attackers really using AI to run end-to-end cyber campaigns? In this episode, Edward Wu (Founder and CEO, DropzoneAI ) joins Ashish to separate the hype from reality when it comes to AI-driven attacks .Edward explains how attackers are currently using open-source LLMs for reconnaissance and spear-phishing , and why the major commercial models now explicitly prohibit users from generating exploits without vetting . On the defense side, Edward shares how AI agents have successfully automated over 160 years' worth of alert investigations in the real world proving that 100% software-delivered SOC triage is already here .We also debunk the myth of AI "hallucinations," explaining why most errors are actually just poor context management . If you're building a security operations center or working with an MSSP, this episode will teach you how to shift from manual alert fatigue to leveraging AI for threat hunting.
