On this week's episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Stel Valavanis, founder of onShore Networks, argues that AI is a significant milestone but does not change where security is headed. He puts AI alongside the Internet and TCP/IP and makes the case that the path forward is clear: fully embrace it as a tool, regardless of which side of the equation you are on. He also points out that agentic and automated AI was already being deployed well before LLMs arrived.

Sensitive data no longer lives in one place. It moves across file servers, SaaS apps, cloud platforms, and collaboration tools. That’s why discovering sensitive data once is not enough. In this video, Farrah Gamboa, Senior Director of Product Management at Netwrix, explains why data visibility must be continuous to keep data security manageable.

This conversation covers the principles of security, the shift of identity as the new perimeter, and the transition from detection-led to trust-led security. It emphasizes the importance of assuming network compromise, focusing on identity, and denying access based on unusual behavior. Takeaways.
