are happening, you know, that
3:47
were already happening, I think, in the world before AI came along, but are now accelerating.
3:54
And those are, you know, I would say kind of critical trends that seem to be happening in cyber.
4:01
And that is that, right, it has always been a cat and mouse game, you know, obviously, right? Like I build a piece of software and then you find a vulnerability or like, you know, authentication bypass or what have you and then i go and build a you know way to catch that to remediate it or to like you know perhaps like you know model your behavior and figure out that like the behavior we're seeing of an actor on the network isn't like what it what you would typically expect right and and then you know so you know that cat and mouse game has been ongoing however you know with ai there's a few trends that are happening like one software quality is actually going down right like it is it is true that we can build more software and we can actually with proper aidlc processes create really high quality software um but we have so much more software and so much tighter timelines and getting software to market that we see a decline in quality decline in quality usually means that there's more vulnerabilities to uh to be had and two um We've seen this with Fable and Mythos, but those are models that have some specific capability in finding vulnerabilities.

In general, AI is... is allowing us to do things a lot faster.
5:19
So for instance, like you and I, we could evaluate a piece of software and we could go and try to find vulnerabilities, right? Like there's lists of typical things that go wrong in software and we could go look for those and we could find those vulnerabilities.
5:34
AI can do that same thing, not necessarily better, but a lot faster than we can.

i know okay this is very interesting and let's say our audience is uh is more focused on let's say atoms compared instead of bits but however i can see the interaction of uh what they call today every time physical ai of the intersection of the software and the in the in several ways so it's very important also this sector and especially in cyber security my my question is given that our audience is again made of uh that's interesting in the hardware especially uh is used to hear uh discussion about patent freedom to operate and so the the competitive model is well protected because there is a they say an invention to to translate to the market in the case of cyber security which is the competitive mode you look for and how you look at the key differentiators in this mode so can you provide an idea of the solution in the in the in the competition
