Standout Quotes:
- “When cyber is involved early, it really can become a value enabler. It helps the business make smarter bets, helps it to avoid blind spots and build that sort of trust that we're looking for into everything that it does.” - Steve Durbin
- “AI, it does introduce huge amounts of potential, but it also introduces a new layer of risk that is more complicated, dynamic and probably difficult to manage than many people actually think or are prepared for. And one of the biggest challenges is that AI doesn't just create new vulnerabilities, it changes the nature of the threat landscape completely.” - Steve Durbin
- “AI is not some kind of future technology. It's been around for a very long time. Certainly in cyber terms anyway, at least 10 years, if not more. It's a lifetime in cyber, so it's not a future technology, it's here. It's shaping the way that we work, that we think, and indeed that we compete. So the question isn't whether we should engage with it, it's how do we do so responsibly and effectively. And the organizations that retain control are those that lead with clarity.” - Steve Durbin
