Security Or Else!

AI vs. Humans Is the Wrong Cybersecurity Debate — with Noma Security CISO Diana Kelley

Episode Summary

In this episode of Security or Else!, Diana Kelley, CISO of Noma Security, argues that the future of cybersecurity is not a question of choosing AI or human expertise, but finding the right balance between the two. As both sides of the field build their AI repertoire, critical decisions still require a human touch.

Episode Notes

Framing the future of cybersecurity as a choice between AI and humans misses the point, according to Noma Security CISO Diana Kelley.

CRN senior editor Kyle Alspach spoke with Kelley for episode 2 of CRN’s new Security or Else! podcast series. Kelley discussed why finding the right balance between AI and humans—not choosing between them—will be so critical to cybersecurity going forward. This is especially the case as attackers are already using AI to automate attacks, find vulnerabilities and lower the technical barrier to entry—requiring defenders to adopt the same tools while keeping humans involved in the decisions that matter most, Kelley says.
