Q Speaking of security, AI has had, or is going to have, I want to get your opinion on this, a profound impact on defense and also offense, black hat, white hat, everything in between. What is the attack vector that AI is most effective at sitting here in 20, 26?
A Well, there's a couple of different areas. One is If we think about the adversaries, I kind of, I kind of create a pyramid where you've got nation state at the top, very sophisticated, but less of them. The middle band of the pyramid, ok, is e-crime. More of them, a little less sophisticated than the top, and then the bottom is just hacktivism, ok? So essentially you're minting new adversaries because you don't have to have all the knowledge that you had to have in the past. You can ask any number of, uh, LLMs and you can get answers back. So what's happened is the attack Timeline has been compressed. You can automate all of these sort of attacks and you can do it with a level of sophistication that looks like a nation state. That's one of the greatest areas of exposure is the speed and the sophistication has dramatically increased.
