Kill the Attacker at Machine Speed
from Dark Perimeter: True Cybersecurity Stories
When an AI agent can run a ransomware attack from break-in to encryption in minutes, narrating its own logic and fixing a failed login in 31 seconds, the human-in-the-loop model that anchors most incident response becomes the bottleneck. Cole Drayden, Dr. Elliott Vance, and Marcus Hale break down JADEPUFFER, the first ransomware operation run end to end by an LLM agent, the Unit 42 finding that attacks now move from access to exfiltration in 72 minutes, and why the answer is not blind automation but governed autonomy: routing response by reversibility, moving humans from in the loop to on the loop, and pre-authorizing the safe actions so a machine-speed clock does not outrun a human decision.Support the show
