207: The One with the Dataminr Global Field CTO

Tim Miller, Global Field CTO and Chief Cybersecurity Strategist at Dataminr joins the show to discuss the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape and what it means for governments and critical infrastructure. Drawing on insights from Dataminr’s latest cyber threat report, he unpacks the widening gap between rising cyber threats and limited cybersecurity staffing with threat actor alerts up 225% year over year. We also discuss how AI—particularly agentic AI—is emerging as a force multiplier, helping organizations detect, contextualize, and respond to threats at machine speed. Finally we dive into key trends shaping modern cybersecurity, including the convergence of cyber and physical security, especially for major global events like the World Cup and Olympics.
