In this kickoff episode of AI Security and the Law, hosts Stephen Lilley and Veronica Glick welcome cybersecurity leader Jeff Greene of Civira Partners—a veteran of DHS’ Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency, the National Security Council in the White House, NIST, the Senate, and various private sector roles—for a wide-ranging conversation on AI and security. They discuss implications for businesses of AI models enabling vulnerability exploitation at unprecedented speed and scale; meeting the moment through rapid AI adoption while limiting security debt and associated legal risks; and why foundational cybersecurity practices and resilience remain critical even as companies manage distinctive threats to AI tools. While expecting the cat-and-mouse dynamic between attackers and defenders to continue, Jeff argues that organizations should prepare to cede more decision-making to automated defenses that operate at machine speed and adjust their cybersecurity programs to meet this new reality.
