Building Cyber Defense for the Agentic Era

影片總結

Armadin CEO Kevin Mandia says AI attacks operate at machine speed, and Armadin has found over 90 production zero-days since January 2026.

After 30 years in security and building Mandiant, Kevin Mandia says AI’s rapid shift brought him back to operating, joining Armadin’s founding team. He describes AI attackers probing many network paths at once, while nation-states may evolve from targeted “sniper” operations toward broader drone-swarm tactics. Armadin’s AI-driven red team maps customer networks continuously and verifies whether vulnerabilities are exploitable; Mandia says it found more than 90 zero-days in production environments since January 2026, including at Fortune 500 companies. He argues that conventional penetration testing cannot match continuous, agent-led red teaming, and that defense must become autonomous: Armadin Blue aims to turn discoveries into rapid safeguards through tools such as EDR and firewalls. Discussing SOCs, the Hugging Face incident, and company-building, Mandia stresses that human response will be too slow, AI systems need expert-designed guardrails and detailed logging, and startups must scale funding, sales, and customer trust at AI speed.
