EP 415 - If Cyber Attacks Move at Light Speed, Can Humans Defend? - Guy Brown and Tony Jarvis
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
Automated traffic is starting to outweigh human traffic online, and a growing share of it is not harmless. Attacks are no longer occasional or manual—they are constant, adaptive, and increasingly powered by AI.In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, Guy Brown, Staff Enterprise Security Architect, APJ at Fastly, and Tony Jarvis, Field CISO, APJ at DarkTrace, describe a “bot war” defined by three forces: volume (more attacks), velocity (attacks move at machine speed), and variety (tactics mutate constantly).Some of the topics that Guy and Tony covered in detail include:Automation turns crime into an industrial process. And AI turns that process into something adaptive.LLMs did not just improve attacks. They changed the economics of attacks."Static defenses” don’t map to an adaptive attacker. Importantly, behavior and intent matter more than patterns.Effective cyber defense increasingly means modeling what normal looks like, then detecting what doesn’t belong.Agentic AI changes the blast radius because it sits inside the system with permissions.
