AI is making cyberattacks faster, more scalable, and more convincing, so the only way to stay ahead is to strengthen the basics, adapt processes, and treat cybersecurity as a business-critical partnership.

AI has dramatically turned up the heat in cybersecurity. In my keynote, I explain why the old rhythm of finding a vulnerability and patching it is no longer fast enough, and how attackers are using AI to improve and accelerate exploitations across technology and behaviors at machine speed.

What was good enough yesterday, will fail tomorrow. To adapt, we must rethink cybersecurity strategy and best practices at an industry level across tech, people, and process.

No matter what challenges we face, we still own the risk!

My keynote from HRMCon2026 is now available: “Looking ahead to 2030: Autonomous Prevention, Human Accountability”, where I discuss these challenges and how the industry must evolve.
