About this episode
The episode discusses how AI and automation are reshaping cybersecurity defenses and the strategies defenders must adopt to keep pace with evolving threats.
AI and automation are giving attackers unprecedented speed and scale — so how do defenders fight back? On this episode of Security Noise, we are joined by Carlos Perez, Director of Security Intelligence at TrustedSec, and John Dwyer, Deputy CTO and Head of ARC Labs at Binary Defense. They sit down with Geoff on Skyler to discuss how AI and automation are fundamentally reshaping the way defenders think, work, and respond. They unpack how machine speed and intelligent tooling are raising the stakes on both sides of the attack surface. From the power and limitations of open source security to the emergence of AI-assisted attack methodologies, this episode challenges defenders to rethink their strategies before adversaries outpace them. What does it takes to stay ahead in an environment where the pace of change is the biggest threat of all? In this episode: - How AI is transforming threat hunting and detection engineering - Why open source security is more critical than ever - How attackers are already using AI — and what that means for defenders - What the future of security operations actually looks like About this podcast: Security Noise, a TrustedSec Podcast hosted by Geoff…
