Can we secure generative AI before it outpaces our ability to defend it?Welcome back to Razorwire, where we have our finger on the pulse of cybersecurity’s most urgent dilemmas and future threats. I’m your host, Jim and in this episode, I sit down with Ante Gojsalić, CTO and co-founder of SplxAI, to unpick the tangled challenges of securing the next wave of generative AI before it becomes too integrated, too complex and too risky to control.Generative AI is reshaping everything from business operations to personal lives, but the race to capitalise on its potential leaves us with difficult questions. Are we allowing technological progress to sprint ahead of security? Is anyone putting robust protections at the heart of these new AI systems? Ante shares stories from the frontlines - explaining why both East and West are taking wildly different approaches, why securing AI isn’t as simple as plugging in a new tool and how the real vulnerabilities lie hidden in the everyday systems we’re already beginning to trust.Three key talking points to listen out for:Why securing AI is fundamentally different - and harder - than traditional IT - Ante shares real scenarios where the unpredictable, fast-evolving nature of large language models means old school security techniques simply can’t keep pace. Find out why continuous testing, automation and security-by-design are more critical than ever.Hidden risks as AI agents take on human-like roles in business - We explore where the most pressing security gaps lie as AI agents begin to make decisions, handle confidential data and even manipulate users. Learn how attackers are already exploiting these systems - and what steps organisations can take to avoid catastrophic mistakes.The battle between business priorities and security fundamentals -Hear our thoughts on why commercial pressure and the quest for innovation often override basic security and discover hands on, pragmatic advice for leaders aiming to bake security into AI projects from day one - before it’s too late.Whether you’re a CISO, an AI developer or a cyber strategist, this episode of Razorwire will arm you with practical insights and hard-won lessons on defending against the unknowns of AI.Why Continuous Security Testing Is Essential: "So imagine you do the security evaluation [of AI] on day one, then they change it a hundred times and you don't do another pen test. It's not relevant anymore. So, yeah, the continuous thing is important. Automation is important. And with AI, which is non-deterministic and which is still very changeable day by day, it's different than web security or API security… It's just unstable."- Ante Gojsalić, on why traditional security approaches fail with AI systemsListen to this episode on your favourite podcasting platform: https://razorwire.captivate.fm/listenIn this episode, we covered the following topics:Rise of Generative AI - Understand what generative AI actually is and how to assess its rapidly expanding applications within your organisation's threat landscape.
