AI Cyber Defense: Matching Attackers' Frontier Models

Threat actors are using advanced AI models to speed up their attacks. This creates a challenge that current defense tools and speeds can't match, according to Vega CEO Shay Sandler. Sandler says the industry needs to use these same frontier models for cyber defense to even the playing field. He emphasizes that even the best model is limited if it doesn't access the right data or analyze it quickly enough. What's more, enterprises need AI systems they can govern and understand. This allows analysts to review and improve the AI's work, similar to how they'd manage an employee. The bottom line is that AI should extend expert reasoning for security, not replace human analysts. This approach could help organizations achieve more effective cyber defense.
