Episode description

AI and cybersecurity seem to go hand in hand. That is, much physical and virtual ink has been spilled over the impact AI had and has on security solutions, as well as on how attackers use AI for bad purposes. But what about the security of the AI organizations use every day? We talk about this with Ric Smith, President - Product, Technology, & Operations, at SentinelOne in a conversation we recorded at AWS re:Invent.
 
At the end of the day, a large chunk of any discussion about AI security is also about cloud security. Much of the AI that companies use, stand-alone or as as a part of (SaaS), runs in the cloud. Hence the setting and location for our conversation with Smith. 

In our conversation, we talk about a large variety of topics. Starting with the initial skepticism about the security of the cloud, we work our way to present-day discussions of securing the AI that runs in the cloud (and on-premises, for that matter). AI comes up with its own challenges to cybersecurity and as such adds to the already complex patchwork that is the security stack.

We're not going to give away too much about the content of our conversation with Smith. We do promise, however, to also provide some actionable insights for customers regarding their security posture. And Smith also has something to say about how the security industry as a whole could and should do better when it comes to collaborating with each other.
