Episode#26: Fighting AI with AI with Dr. Erdal Ozkaya

AI is making us faster and smarter, but it is doing the same for the adversary.Recorded live at NJ SECON 2026, closing keynote speaker Dr. Erdal Ozkaya joins hosts Joe Patti and Rich Mendoza to explore the new rules of enterprise security in an age where AI is both a powerful defender and an emerging weapon.From prompt-based attack vectors and the growing threat of Shadow AI to attackers moving faster than defenders, the conversation challenges us to rethink how we protect our organizations. If defenders are the back wheel of the bicycle, how do we stop following and start getting ahead?The discussion also ventures into almost science-fiction territory: we are increasingly relying on AI to defend us while still working to fully understand, govern, and control what we are creating.Featuring Joe Patti and Rich Mendoza, with Audio Engineer Charlie Fraser.
