AI vs CNI: Rob Demain, e2e-assure
About this episode
Rob Demain discusses the impact of AI on cybersecurity threats to critical national infrastructure in the UK.
According to the NCSC, there were over 200 attacks against UK critical national infrastructure last year. Some three quarters of these are thought to be linked to state actors. On the surface, that number of attacks might seem small. But their impact could be significant. Attacks against power, water and transport can quickly bring the country to a halt. And no advanced economy can operate for long without banking and telecoms services. And the cyber risks faced by CNI operators are worsening, not least because of AI. As our guest explains, AI doesn't have to be smarter. It's enough that it's fast, works at scale, and doesn't need to take a break. This, in turn, demands a different response from cyber defenders, including their own sovereign AI capabilities. Our guest is Rob Demain, founder and CEO at e2e-assure.
