Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Architecture: Stop Button Pushing, Start Building
Q: What have you seen AI bring to the table with growing businesses like IT Audit Labs?
When implemented correctly, AI tools can double or triple productivity for teams, allowing them to focus on higher value tasks rather than low-value administrative work.
AI Architecture: Stop Button Pushing, Start Building
Q: How do you use AI as an architect instead of just a button pusher?
To transcend basic usage and act as an AI architect, you need to learn to communicate effectively with the AI, articulate your needs, and challenge it to optimize outputs rather than simply pushing buttons for results.
Critical Infrastructure: Everything is Connected and Vulnerable
Q: Do you see a solution on the horizon that would maybe reduce the testing time or force the manufacturers to not be able to run on legacy software?
Legislation pushing for incident response plans and basic cybersecurity controls is starting to take shape.
Critical Infrastructure: Everything is Connected and Vulnerable
Q: What have you seen as far as how the threat actors are bridging that gap?
The gap is mostly a lie today, with increased connectivity in industrial environments leading to greater vulnerability.
The Deepfake Hiring Crisis: AI Fraud in Job Interviews
Q: What does an actual verification investigation look like when companies have to re-verify their employees' identities?
It's a static ID verification process where everyone must reconfirm their identity often leading to a costly disruption of operations.
