Episode 12.2 - Putting AI and security into perspective
About this episode
The episode discusses the intersection of AI and security, emphasizing that AI amplifies existing weaknesses rather than creating new threats.
Back in January I had a chat with Doug Kersten, CISO for Appfire , that had soemwise words about the intersection of Ai and security. He said AI amplifies existing weaknesses. It doesn't create new threats . AI-driven attacks (phishing, deepfakes) succeed by exploiting poor security fundamentals like weak training and monitoring. And that's what we have to worry about most. This conversation was about rational response to the use of AI in security. Seems timely.
