Ryan chats with Sam Curry about the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, focusing on human intelligence and resilient code infrastructure.

Ryan chats with Sam Curry, CSO at Zscaler, about where human intelligence sits in the new security landscape with AI, why shifting security protections closer to applications helps limit probes for vulnerabilities, and why building more resilient code infrastructure is the best way to address the vulnerabilities AI does discover.
