Beyond the AI Hype: Cyber Readiness in the Age of AI — Gibb Witham on SWN #595

Gibb Witham joined the Security Weekly News podcast this week to talk about cyber readiness in an AI-driven world. The conversation cut through the hype and got practical.

Witham discussed how organizations need to shift their mindset from chasing AI buzzwords to actually preparing their defenses. The core message: AI is a tool, not a strategy. If your security fundamentals aren’t solid, adding AI won’t fix them.

The episode covers realistic approaches to integrating AI into security operations, the risks of relying too heavily on automated tools, and what cyber readiness actually means when attackers are using the same technology you are.
