AI Cybersecurity Is a Cat and Mouse Game

Zscaler's Sam Curry on human judgment in AI-driven security and moving protection closer to applications.
In this podcast episode, Zscaler's Sam Curry discusses where human intelligence still matters in AI-driven security, the case for moving protective controls closer to applications rather than relying on network perimeters, and how to strengthen code infrastructure against vulnerabilities that AI can now find at scale.
The cat and mouse framing is deliberate: both sides gain the same capability increases, so the question is which side converts them faster. The discussion is practical about where AI genuinely helps defenders versus where it mostly generates more findings.
