AI is changing how cyberattacks are built, how they spread, and how long they can hide. Is your cyber resilience strategy keeping up? Recorded at VMware Explore 2026, Pete Flecha and Jad El-Zein…

Bit of a loaded question here, though, but, like, it seems like there's a lot of tools out there, you know, to help, and it seems like the- since everything is changing so constantly, like what is the solution, uh, to all the different...
Whether it's tool sprawl or, like, what's the right solution to make for some simplified, you know, support in this area?
Yeah, so I think, uh, there needs to be a shift from a tool-centric approach where security compliance resilience are treated at, as these separate disciplines-
... right, uh, to what we refer to as an outcome-centric design, right, where these capabilities are built directly into the infrastructure versus being bolt-on products-
... right? Uh, which essentially are the- the sweet spot for all cyber criminals who want to make a lot of money off of this.
And a, a point you made earlier, need to be able to look at the siloed data streams from internal and other feeds and be able to correlate all that, right? We need to be able to point to the actor, not necessarily just have several silos of- of metrics that aren't necessarily related, right?
100%, and- and it- it's also, you know, there's a lot of data spread across multiple different locations, right? And- and- and what we see is that usually...
So I'll give you an example, right? So for compliance, uh, compliance for workloads and compliance for technology stack components, it's usually separate, right? You need two different tools.
It's very hard to correlate them.
The monitoring, the detection, the remediation, especially when you're trying to do these things at scale, uh, is incredibly challenging, right?
So back to my point about an outcome-centric design, right? Being able to consolidate these use cases is- is really critical, and it- it is essentially the foundation that organizations need to be able to fight back in this era of AI-powered attacks.
