Loris Degioanni: Why AI Is Breaking Cybersecurity, and What Comes Next

AI has done a lot of wonderful things, but it's done a lot of scary things. Attacks can be scaled much faster through the use of AI. It makes it easier for cyber criminals to attack systems. So every time there's something new that has been discussed, first of all, these tools can find new vulnerabilities in software. But then once something is found, the speed at which this can be leveraged to perpetrate attacks is, you know, used to be weeks. Now it's hours. Okay. So, I I usually start by having you introduce yourself, give your background so far as it's relevant, and how you got to Sysdig. But I I wanted because Sysdig is sort of a deep tech, and a lot of the listeners, are not necessarily familiar with that. So, I I'm gonna ask you, from what I understand, Sysdig is is a cloud and container security platform, that gives users visibility into what's running in their Kubernetes, container and cloud environments. Can you just explain in in very brief terms to listeners who don't know what, a a container is, what Kubernetes is, and how that relates to security. And then we'll start asking questions. Yeah. In a nutshell, Sysdig is an AI powered, real time cloud defense platform. What does it mean? Let's start from cloud. Cloud is where all of the software that you, I, our listeners, are using on a daily basis. Right? You do a checkout, at the supermarket. You you do your banking. You do your Uber. It doesn't matter. Anything that you do, you know, nowadays is powered in the cloud and is and is powered by software that that is running in the cloud. AI is running in the cloud. So we are talking about AI here. You know? And all of, the AI infrastructure is definitely working on cloud based and cloud native cloud native infrastructures. So, cloud is where software runs nowadays, and Sysdig protects and defends the software that he's running in the cloud. Software running in the cloud normally is based on stacks, on ways to, you know, organize and run the software, which are, you know, based on some of the terminology that you mentioned before, containers, Kubernetes. These are these are the way the same way you run your software, you know, on your Mac or macOS. Typically, software in the cloud runs on, distributed software infrastructure that is, you know, based on so called containers, which are, you know, little it's a way to to partition your software in little independent pieces that can be deployed easily and they can run everywhere and can scale up and down. And Kubernetes is essentially the operating system for the cloud. Right? So it's what takes the software and runs it and make sure that, the software, you know, like the software that you're running is able to grow when there's more demand and shrink when there's less demand and, use the appropriate …
