When it comes to the fight against AI-powered hacking, “we've all been drafted—whether we like it or not,” says Huntress co-founder and CEO Kyle Hanslovan. In CRN’s Security or Else! podcast, Hanslovan discusses OpenAI's disclosure that AI agents went rogue during testing, the lessons learned from the 2021 Microsoft Exchange attacks, and why AI-driven rapid response will be critical for future cyber defense. He also explains why stronger collaboration between vendors, partners, and law enforcement is essential, while emphasizing that Huntress' mission to protect underserved organizations matters more than its recent milestone of surpassing $250 million in annual recurring revenue.

CRN senior editor Kyle Alspach spoke with Hanslovan for episode 3 of CRN’s new Security or Else! podcast series. Hanslovan discussed OpenAI’s disclosure that some of its AI agents had gone rogue during a test and compromised AI platform Hugging Face.
Hanslovan also explained why cyber defense, going forward, will require rapid response enabled by AI to keep up with the rise of autonomous hacking and other accelerating threats. He also offered his first-hand perspective from the 2021 Microsoft Exchange attacks and why the industry needs to see deeper collaboration among vendors, partners and law enforcement. Meanwhile, Hanslovan also reflected on Huntress’ recent crossing of $250 million in annual recurring revenue—and why protecting the “99 percent” matters more than the milestone itself.
