We're evolving fast to secure AI. But are we evolving fast enough to secure WITH AI?

Check out this post by Rinki Sethi, CSO, Upwind Security, for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week's episode co-hosted by me, David Spark, the producer of CISO Series, and Howard Holton, former CEO, GigaOm. Joining is Adam Glick, CSO, PSG Equity.

In this episode:

  • Human-in-the-loop math
  • Should machines decide at all
  • From assistant to autonomous
  • Redefining the security role
