Qualys’ CEO joins the Cyber Uncut podcast to explain why autonomous remediation, smarter patching, and risk-based security will define the next generation of cyber defence.
Cyber security is entering a new era as powerful AI models dramatically reduce the time it takes attackers to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. In this episode, Qualys CEO Sumedh Thakar joins Cyber Daily’s Liam Garman to explain why businesses need to look beyond the headlines surrounding Anthropic’s Mythos and focus on what AI really means for cyber risk.
