Live at RSA: AI Hype, Enhanced Security, and the Future of Cybersecurity Tools
In this first-ever in-person recording of Shared Security, Tom and Kevin, along with special guest Matt Johansen from Reddit, discuss their experience at the RSA conference in San Francisco, including their walk-through of ‘enhanced security’ and the humorous misunderstanding that ensued. The conversation moves to the ubiquity of AI and machine learning buzzwords at the conference, questioning the genuine impact versus hype, and the saturation of AI claims among vendors. They explore the real-world applications of AI, how it’s currently being utilized in cybersecurity, and its potential to assist smaller security teams and raise the ‘cybersecurity poverty line.’ The discussion also touches on the false positives in AI-driven security tools and the nuanced benefits of AI in improving English proficiency globally, which could indirectly assist cybercriminals.
