The Segment

AI is giving attackers new ways to move faster, scale attacks, and explore every possible path through an environment. But does that mean defenders need an entirely new security strategy?In this special episode of The Segment, Raghu Nandakumara is joined by John Kindervag, creator of Zero Trust and Chief Evangelist at Illumio; Rich Mogull, Chief Analyst at the Cloud Security Alliance; and Don Yeske, longtime federal cybersecurity leader and Senior Solutions Architect and Enablement Lead at Virtru, to celebrate the launch of their new book, Cyber Resilience at Machine Speed: The Zero Trust Model for the AI Era.Together, they explore why Zero Trust remains critical in the age of AI, how organizations can identify and secure their most important protect surfaces, and why trying to defend everything at once is often a recipe for failure.Download the book here: https://www.illumio.com/resource-center/cyber-resilience-at-machine-speed-the-zero-trust-model-for-the-ai-eraIn this episode, you’ll learn:Why AI changes the speed and scale of cyberattacks, but not the fundamentals of securityHow protect surfaces make Zero Trust practical and achievableWhy attackers face a fundamentally different problem than defendersHow segmentation and security boundaries can make an attacker’s job harderWhy “the accumulation of tactics isn’t strategy”How organizations can prioritize their most critical assets instead of trying to secure everything at onceWhy AI is making security fundamentals more urgent, not obsoleteHow Zero Trust has evolved from the cloud era to the age of frontier AI

AI may be the latest technology transformation, but for security teams, the challenges feel familiar.In this episode of The Segment, Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Ashish Rajan, CISO of TechRiot, host of the Cloud Security Podcast and AI Security Podcast, and author of AI Security Engineering, to explore what the cloud era can teach us about securing AI.They discuss how AI is reshaping cloud security, why the shared responsibility model gets even murkier with AI, and what changes when security teams have to protect agents whose behavior and intent aren’t always predictable.Ashish also shares how organizations can start building practical AI security programs today, why continuous evals and human oversight matter, and the AI skills security practitioners will need for what comes next.https://www.aisecuritypodcast.com/https://www.cloudsecuritypodcast.tv/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1394387687?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback
