In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, Guy Brown, Staff Enterprise Security Architect, APJ at Fastly, and Tony Jarvis, Field CISO, APJ at DarkTrace, describe a “bot war” defined by three forces: volume (more attacks), velocity (attacks move at machine speed), and variety (tactics mutate constantly).
Some of the topics that Guy and Tony covered in detail include:
- Automation turns crime into an industrial process. And AI turns that process into something adaptive.
- LLMs did not just improve attacks. They changed the economics of attacks.
- “Static defenses” don’t map to an adaptive attacker. Importantly, behavior and intent matter more than patterns.
- Effective cyber defense increasingly means modeling what normal looks like, then detecting what doesn’t belong.
- Agentic AI changes the blast radius because it sits inside the system with permissions.
