Show Notes
In this episode, Michal Jankech, vice president, enterprise, SMB & MSP at ESET, explains why the company believes the future of defense will be supervised, not fully autonomous. ESET uses AI to supercharge its human analysts in delivering 24/7 managed detection and response, with AI suggesting and humans making the final call. When an attack is underway, the service isolates the host and handles remediation. ESET also extends protection into the AI era by monitoring AI agents' behavior, scanning the skill files they download, and inspecting conversations between employees and chatbots through a browser extension. Joining him are Bozidar Spirovski, CISO at Blue dot, and Nick Espinosa, host of The Deep Dive Radio Show.
Want to know:
Why does AI favor whoever has the cheaper feedback loop, and what does that mean for defenders? How do you trust a security vendor that uses AI to detect AI? How do you discover locally built agents that aren't even shadow AI? Why is feature parity across Windows, Mac, and Linux a promise no vendor can keep? What should stay human as AI takes on more of the analysis? How do you keep both MDR analysts and customers from drowning in alerts? Why is the line between prevention and detection disappearing? What does a security service look like for small businesses that have no CISO?
Check out the episode for the answers you need.

More from Security You Should Know
In this episode, Joshua Knox, Principal Cybersecurity Strategist and AI Lab Tech Lead at Horizon3, explains how the company's NodeZero platform runs continuous, autonomous offensive assessments that surface exploitable attack chains and dangerous misconfigurations, not just vulnerabilities, so teams can prioritize and validate fixes on a repeatable basis. Joining him are Jesse Webb, CISO and SVP of Information Systems at Avalon Healthcare Solutions, and Ryan Brown, Director and Head of Cybersecurity Operations at Children's National Hospital.
In this episode, Ashu Savani, co-founder of TryHackMe, explains how the company's Live Breach product puts teams inside fully-executed, realistic breach simulations built around the threat actors and tech stacks they face, building the reflexes and reporting security leaders need before a real incident hits. Joining him are Roland Toussaint, Senior Director of Incident Response and Security Engineering at ChenMed, and Heather Hinton, CISO at Sitecore.
In this episode, Joseph Perla, founder and CEO at TrustedRouter, explains how his company's confidential-computing-based LLM router lets teams send prompts to hundreds of AI models while cryptographically verifying, rather than simply trusting, that no one, including TrustedRouter itself, can see the data passing through. Joining him are TC Niedzialkowski, former head of IT & security at Opendoor, and Keith McCartney, svp of security and IT at DNAnexus.
In this episode, Dean Shroll, senior director of sales engineering at ThreatDown, explains how the company's Nebula and OneView consoles simplify protection across Mac, Linux, and Windows endpoints while its managed detection and response team absorbs the 24/7 monitoring that resource-constrained teams can't staff on their own. Joining him are Jonathan Waldrop, CISO at Acoustic, and Arif Hameed, CISO at C&R Software.
In this episode, Leo Taddeo, CEO and President at AppGate, explains how the company's zero trust network access platform cloaks internet-facing infrastructure from discovery, uses direct-routed architecture instead of cloud-routed hairpinning to avoid the latency tax, and layers in continuous, context-aware policy checks that go beyond device posture and MFA. Joining him are Ross Young, co-host of CISO Tradecraft, and Derek Fisher, Director of the Cyber Defense and Information Assurance Program at Temple University.
