Fraud Moves Faster With AI, Verification Must Too with KPMG US CSO Matt Posid

On the 37th episode of Enterprise AI Defenders, hosts Evan Reiser and Mike Britton talk with Matt Posid, Chief Security Officer at KPMG US. AI accelerates the attacker’s playbook by increasing overall capability and reducing the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Matt explains why KPMG consolidated cyber, insider risk, physical security, life safety, resilience, and third-party risk into one enterprise security program, and how defenders can keep up by pairing strong controls with AI-enabled workflows and clear governance.Quick hits from Matt:On how AI changes the threat curve: “AI is really good at a couple of things. It is really good at making people better, and it’s really good at making people faster.”On deepfakes and why fundamentals still work: “The controls we’ve had to protect against non AI-based attacks are still, in many cases, effective against the AI-based variants.”On the defender’s response, fight at AI speed: “If the bad guys are using certain tools, the good guys probably have to also, in order to keep up with the capabilities, the velocity that we need to defend.”Recent Book Recommendation: Unreasonable Hospitality by Will GuidaraLike what you hear?
