AI is powering increasingly sophisticated threats to the enterprise, from data poisoning to deepfakes. But AI is also on the side of the cybersecurity professionals who are fighting back. In this VB in Conversation, Paul Bingham and Mike Morris, former FBI cybersecurity agents with deep experience in nation state attacks and tactical response, sat down to talk about how they’re training the next wave of defenders to handle AI threats with speed, precision, and resilience at Western Governors University.
The most important thing to know is that the speed with which the criminals or the attackers are trying to breach networks and take advantage of all the potential vulnerabilities has increased exponentially.
“That means, for someone who’s trying to defend a network, they have to match that speed, or even try to stay one step ahead of it, so that when something weird comes in, they pick it up immediately and lock things down or roll things back to be able to get ahead of it,” says Paul Bingham, Senior Vice President and Executive Dean at Western Governors University’s School of Technology. “If the bad guys are using AI, we the defenders have to also use AI.”
