Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

At Fal.Con 2025, I had the privilege of addressing over 8,000 cybersecurity professionals about something that’s on my mind – and should be on all of ours: how do we fundamentally reimagine security for the age of AI? We're living through the fourth industrial revolution. The first brought us steam power, the second electricity, and the third the digital age we all know and love.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of enterprise AI, the ability to seamlessly connect organizational knowledge with intelligent systems is a critical differentiator. While LLMs excel at reasoning and generation, their true potential is unlocked only when they can access and process the vast repositories of institutional knowledge driving your organization’s business decisions.

When I talk to customers about AI these days, I usually get two very different reactions. Some lean forward, excited about the promise: fewer alerts, faster response, maybe even lights-out SOC operations someday. Others lean back, uneasy about the risks: does this mean attackers will be able to run thousands of hacks at once, automatically? The truth is, both reactions are justified. We are at the start of a shift toward agentic AI. This is not the same as today’s AI copilots that wait for prompts.
