"AI extends the same problem at a much, much, much bigger surface area. And AI is supposed to mimic humans, artificial intelligence, right? So it's mimicking human intelligence, but AI is susceptible even in a bigger way to the risks of social engineering."

"AI mimics human. So AI risks are no different than humans. AI loses data. AI can mishandle data. AI loses credentials, AI can run malware, and AI can have prompt engineering just like humans having social engineering."

"I'm seeing customers say, "I have to go to fewer strategic partners." No one is saying, "I don't see, I'm just going to go all in with one." Okay. I want to go to few strategic partners."

"There is this thing at this point in time among CISOs to say, "I want fewer but more integrated platforms." So one of the big theme for us as a company is when we are innovating, we are doing that in one single platform that's collecting more signals and is providing sort of the control points in an integrated fashion to enforce the right sort of controls when abnormalities are detected."

"AI needs a framework of guardrails. By definition, humans are trusted in the enterprise and they have a code of conduct. All of us have code of conduct, or most people at least say they do. With AI, it doesn't understand code of conduct. And so as a result, if you're going to trust AI, you have to have some guardrails on top of it."

"right now, every enterprise is enabling AI without the right checks and balances. That's just the truth. And so there is a lot of concern among CISOs. We did a CISO study. 60 % of which is up from 54 % think that AI enablement is a risk to their enterprise, but they're doing it."
