Manage episode 513681809 series 3557643
In this episode, we dive into the escalating war between AI and cybercrime — where artificial intelligence is both the ultimate defense and the greatest vulnerability.
Our guest, Grant McCracken, founder of Dark Horse Security, reveals how AI-driven cybersecurity, machine learning detection systems, and automated threat analysis are transforming how we fight cyber threats in real time.
From deepfake social engineering scams to AI-powered malware that learns and evolves, this conversation explores how both hackers and defenders are using AI to outsmart each other — and what that means for the future of digital security.
We also discuss:
- How AI and machine learning are being deployed in cyber defense strategies
- Why small businesses (SMBs) are most at risk — and how Dark Horse Security is democratising cybersecurity
- The rise of AI-driven social engineering, deepfake attacks, and identity cloning
- The future of AI-powered threat detection, behavioral analysis, and zero-trust frameworks
- What happens when AI-powered attacks face AI-powered defenses
- How LLMs (large language models) are changing both hacking and protection
- The growing role of human error in breaches — and how AI might help prevent it
- What quantum computing could mean for encryption, AI, and the cybersecurity landscape
Grant also shares his expert insights on the real-world implications of AI in cybersecurity, the cat-and-mouse race between attackers and defenders, and what organisations can do today to stay one step ahead of evolving digital threats.
