Short two-speaker excerpt from a YouTube video discussing how generative AI lowers the technical barrier to launching cyberattacks—e.g., enabling people to write hacking code via natural language—so fewer qualifications are needed to be a hacker. The speakers note this shift will make manual defenses inadequate at scale and imply a need for AI-native, scaled defense approaches.
Do you feel like that AI makes the cyber attacks a lot easier because now people can write code with natural language versus having to actually know what they're doing with the code. Where do we go from there as far as, like, anybody could essentially learn how to hack stuff now using natural language?
The level of qualification required to become a hacker has gone.
Down quite dramatically.
And if you think about how this will evolve, it's going to be extremely difficult for, at the scale that we're talking about, to have those defenses be sophisticated. If they were just manual.
You know.
So, yes, you are right. AI is. Such attacks are going to get far more sophisticated. That is an inevitability that's going to happen. And the only way to solve against that is you have to make sure that the defenses are AI native. Thought about at AI scale from the ghetto. When you start conceding a defense.
