Interested in being a guest? Email us at [email protected] fastest way to lose a security battle is to wait for it to start. We pull back the curtain on a proactive strategy to break the attack chain—disrupting reconnaissance, lateral movement, and exfiltration—by uniting offensive testing with integrated blue team defenses that actually prove what works. John Grancarich Chief Strategy Officer Fortra, joins us to explain how red and blue can operate on a single vision that prioritizes the real prize: protecting data wherever it lives.We dig into the AI-fueled threat surge—hyper-personalized phishing, deepfake-driven social engineering, and automated vulnerability discovery—and get specific on how to respond. John walks through a three-part AI model security of AI to safeguard gen AI pipelines from prompt injection, data leakage, and shadow tools security from AI to detect AI-powered threats with behavior-led models and security with AI to augment SOC teams by automating triage and enrichment. The result is a realistic path to faster incident response, fewer false positives, and more time for human judgment.Data sits at the center of the story. John shares why Fortra acquired Lookout’s cloud security business and how capabilities like CASB, secure web gateway, and ZTNA now pair with endpoint and network controls to create a unified data security approach. With consolidated discovery, classification, and policy enforcement through one console, teams can spot risk sooner and stop exfiltration with less friction. We also talk culture: practical awareness programs, phishing simulations, and the simple discipline of slowing down before clicking. Finally, we look ahead to a unified platform that brings red and blue together, a new DSPM rollout, and the bold goal of enabling the 10x security engineer.Support the showMore at https://linktr.ee/EvanKirstel
