Trent Telford discusses the long-standing challenge in cybersecurity, likening traditional security measures to building a high wall that attackers simply overcome with 'bigger ladders' or by finding 'loose bricks'. He explains that despite decades of efforts to add layers of protection, a fundamental flaw persists in how we approach data security, especially in the face of evolving technology.
“It doesn't matter how high you build the wall, the bad guys got to get a bigger ladder. Well, I find out how to pull a few bricks out of the wall and the bottom of the castle wall and crawl through and you don't notice that they've crawled through, right? They pull a rock back over and you don't know they're in there.”
“So that's been a really big issue. We will get to AI, but particularly with these methose classes that can scan a codebase or a piece of software externally and find undiscovered holes that then they can write exploits for.”
“We start from a baseline assumption that the data will be exposed.”
