This week, we look at the rapidly shifting landscape of digital defense, where the line between "smart computing" and true Artificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly blurred. As criminals begin to use Large Language Models to craft flawless phishing emails and bespoke malware, the "human factor" is being tested like never before. We're asking a vital question: Is it time to stop blaming the user and start building better guardrails? From the "confidently wrong" nature of AI decision-making to the terrifying reality of supply chain attacks like SolarWinds, we explore why the old methods of "detect and react" are no longer enough to keep businesses safe. In our interview this week, we talk about the journey of cybersecurity with Danny Jenkins, co-founder of ThreatLocker. From his early days as an apprentice in Cavan to leading a global security firm in Florida, Danny explains the evolution of "Zero Trust" and why the most dangerous hacking tools today might look exactly like your iPhone charging cable. —----- Listen to Tech Radio now on Apple, Spotify and YouTube https://www.podfollow.com/tech
