AI and Penetration Testing with Paula Januszkiewicz
Show notes
How is artificial intelligence changing cybersecurity and penetration testing? Richard talks to Paula Januszkiewicz about how her team now uses large language models throughout the security workflow, from vulnerability research and data analysis to penetration testing and incident response. Paula explains that AI hasn't replaced security professionals, but it has dramatically accelerated the work, making it possible to analyze more data, build better tools, and identify attack paths faster than ever before. The conversation also explores the defender's perspective, including monitoring, logging, incident response, and why organizations still need to eliminate insecure technologies like NTLM. AI is changing cybersecurity rapidly, but the fundamentals of security remain the same.
