On this episode of Navigating Forward, Mike Halstead and Creighton Adams from Launch Consulting host Bruce Hembree, Field CTO for the Cortex division of Palo Alto Networks, in a wide-ranging discussion about cyber hygiene. They highlight how thoughtful automation and quality machine learning can enhance scalability of security efforts and allow engineers to spend time on creative pursuits that can ultimately increase the maturity level of the organization. They also touch on how AI will change the development and testing of products — and how humans will still be absolutely necessary for those tasks. Finally, they reflect on whether or not anything has changed since the SolarWinds attack and if it shifted the perceptions of cybersecurity teams.
