AI gives attackers superpowers, so defenders must use it too

Time to exploit fell from 1.5 years in 2020 to hours today, and Epp expects it to shrink to minutes soon.

AI speeds this by quickly validating exploits and automating attacks at scale.

Epp argues defenders must adopt full automation and remove humans from the loop to match AI-powered threats.

Sysdig was founded on open-source security principles; its founders contributed to projects like Wireshark and Falco, and Falco is a standard for Kubernetes/container security.

Sysdig captures kernel-level telemetry and builds context graphs linking kernel, Kubernetes, and cloud data; graph databases reveal relationships and attack paths, and Epp ran red-team exercises to map attacker paths in a graph.
