Cybersecurity has fundamentally changed, because now you do not need to be a sophisticated hacker to deploy a sophisticated attack. In the long term, I believe AI will help create more secure systems because of its ability to identify vulnerabilities before deployment. But there will likely be a difficult transition period between now and then, and it’s our job to shorten that transition period as much as possible.
