S3 E13 | Are We Cooked? Cybersecurity Threats in the Age of AI

Cybersecurity expert Gary Brickhouse, chief information and security officer at GuidePoint security, sits down with host Owen LaFave for a conversation relevant to anyone who's ever repeated the same login password or opened a suspicious email. Gary reveals the common and increasingly sophisticated threats of phishing scams, data breaches, AI-driven cyber attacks, and the rise of nation-state actors. The digital threats of 2025 have come a long way from the "Hi, I'm the prince of Nigeria" emails of the past, and business leaders must remain vigilant. While absolute security online is nearly impossible, Gary explains how layered defense strategies can protect critical infrastructure. AI tools are also used by large and small businesses to fight back, enabling companies to detect anomalies, monitor threats, and scale their defense systems–particularly useful tactics for businesses with limited resources. Tune in for a crash course in the evolving landscape of cyber threats, and discover how enterprises of all sizes can create proactive strategies that confront the challenges of digital security in today's complex world head-on.   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC
