Generative AI in Cybersecurity — Innovation or Distraction?
Description
Join Gartner experts Chris Mixter and Jeremy D’Hoinne on this episode of the CISO Edge Podcast for a conversation on the steps that CISOs must take to fulfill their multiprongmandate: defending the enterprise from AI-fueled attacks, and enabling business and cybersecurity functional use of generative AI (GenAI) — all without losing focus on their other mission-critical priorities.
This episode explores:
- Is generative AI simply a version of a movie CISOs have seen before? (02:32 )
- What are the most promising use cases for generative AI within cybersecurity? (6:48 )
- How do we avoid inflated expectations around secure development in the GenAI era? (12:29 )
- What are the key skills and cybersecurity culture we need to make the most of GenAI? (17:25 )
As a Gartner research VP for security operations and infrastructure protection, Jeremy D'Hoinne assists chief information security officers and their teams to develop strategies to protect against advanced threats. Jeremy’s research includes exposure management and how to run a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) program; it also covers related technologies, such as cybersecurity validation technologies,including breach and attack simulation (BAS). He also studies the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity with a focus on the disruptions caused by large language models and generative AI.
