Business Uninterrupted Episode 1: How AI is Changing Cyber Risk

Your security dashboard is green. Every control is passing.You're still getting breached.  

In Episode 1 of Business Uninterrupted, VikingCloud's JonMarler, Director of Product Management and Cybersecurity Evangelist, tacklesthe most uncomfortable truth in security right now: your controls aren'tfailing. The spaces between them are.

Jon breaks down how AI-powered attacks exploit the spacesthat traditional tools weren't built to see, from identity verification thatconfirms who you are but not what you intend to do, to QR code phishing attacksthat silently jump from corporate devices to personal ones, bypassing everyprotection your IT team put in place. Every individual tool logs a clean event.Nothing looks wrong until it's too late.

He also makes the case for why blaming users for clickingthe wrong thing is the wrong conversation. When AI-generated phishing emailshit a 54% click-through rate versus 12% for traditional campaigns, the problemisn't awareness. It's architecture. Jon introduces narrative detection: movingfrom monitoring individual controls to identifying the chain of events thattells the real story of an attack.

If you're responsible for your organization's securityposture, Jon's closing directive alone is worth a listen: stop auditing justyour controls. Start auditing the spaces between them.
