Offense Is Running on AI. Is Your Defense? | AI, Configuration Drift & Prevention

Offense is running on AI. Defense has to as well.

That's the throughline of Garrett Hamilton's conversation with Jay Wilson, CIO and CISO at Insurity, on The Security Strategist, hosted by Shubhangi Dua at EM360Tech.
What they get into:

⇢ AI is collapsing the skill gap for attackers and scaling how fast they can find a weakness, misconfiguration, or vulnerability across almost any business.
⇢ The damage often doesn't start with an exploited vulnerability. It starts with controls that were weaker than they should have been.
⇢ Organizations are running dozens of security tools, and too many of them sit underused or misconfigured.
⇢ Prevention is coming back into the conversation after years of spending tilted toward detection and response.
⇢ AI has a real place in defense, but automated remediation needs to stay controlled, not fully autonomous.

Thanks to Shubhangi Dua and the EM360Tech team for having us.
