Rethinking Cybersecurity in the Age of AI and Digital Twins
Monday, 25 August, 2025
Artificial intelligence is transforming nearly every industry, and cybersecurity is no exception. On the latest episode of the TechSpective Podcast, I spoke with Kevin Simzer, COO of Trend Micro, about how generative and agentic AI are reshaping development and defense strategies. Kevin shared why AI should be seen as neither magic nor snake oil, but as a powerful tool that can accelerate innovation while still requiring human expertise. From code generation to enterprise-scale deployment, the opportunities are immense—but so are the risks. That’s why security must be built in from the start, not bolted on after the fact. One of the most fascinating parts of our discussion centered on digital twin technology. Traditionally used in fields like manufacturing or engineering, digital twins are now emerging as a game-changer for cybersecurity. By creating a virtual replica of an organization’s environment, enterprises can continuously run simulations, red-team scenarios, and experiment with different defenses—without putting live systems at risk. Instead of waiting for quarterly tests, organizations can stress-test their infrastructure constantly, learning and adapting in real time. As Kevin explained, this shift could fundamentally change how enterprises think about resilience. Combined with the rapid rise of AI-driven agents, digital twins offer a way to stay ahead of evolving threats while navigating the complexity of modern IT environments. Cybersecurity has always been about anticipating the next move. With AI and digital twins in play, the game board itself is changing—and those who embrace these tools early will be far better prepared for what comes next.
