About this episode

The episode discusses the dual role of AI in cybersecurity as both a potential threat and a valuable defense tool.

Recent incidents show the risks AI can pose to cybersecurity. At the same time, the security industry is putting a lot of store on AI as a way to bolster defences. So is AI a threat, or an answer to our security challenges? As the CEO of a business supplying security services to global organisations, our guest is well placed to discuss how CISOs view the risks, and benefits of artificial intelligence. And, as Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247 puts it, there are those who are "all in" on AI, and those who view it with distrust. Interview by Stephen Pritchard.
