AI is accelerating everything - including your attack surface. Prompt injection. Shadow AI. Non-human identities. Automated agents making decisions at machine speed. The pressure to move fast is real. So is the risk. In this episode, Fortinet’s Aamir Lakhani and WWT’s Dave Pisarek lay out a practical path forward. No hype - just the controls that actually work. We cover: Why prompt injection isn’t going away How attackers hide payloads in unexpected encodings Why identity and access management is becoming the control plane for AI Guardrails that matter: least privilege, segmentation, scoped agents, robust logging Why every automated system needs a human-reviewed “undo” You’ll also hear where AI is already helping SOC teams move faster - surfacing anomalies, correlating IOCs, and shrinking time to containment. If you’re being asked to scale AI while preventing breaches, this is the conversation to have with your security and engineering leaders. Speed is inevitable. Exposure isn’t. More about this week's guests: Dave Pisarek is a Fortinet Practice Manager with 24 years of experience in information technology and a Fortinet NSE 4 certification.
