How do you simplify complex computer issues for customers?
I agree with all of this! Having spent a majority of my career in Generalist roles it’s imperative we keep the line of communications between our team & our clients completely transparent. Another big thing too is to provide the ability to bridge the gap between the two worlds. Instead of providing a complex technical response, frame it so the client understands step by step what’s happening & what’s being done to remediate the issue. It not only provides them peace of mind you’re resolving the matter but gives them assurance they can trust you with any issue moving forward.

In this episode, InfoSec professional Girard Kavelines discusses the reality of AI in security with Chris Grundemann and Stephen Foskett. With AI assistance on both sides of the security divide, will we see an escalation of attack and defense? On the defense side, threats have evolved to advanced attacks that look like system processes and legitimate connections, and machine learning can help process more data than ever before. ML-based systems can also judge unknown threats that a rules-based system would never catch. On the other hand, we are already seeing AI used to generate more effective attacks, from phishing to fuzzing APIs.
