Podcast: Emerging AI Threat Landscape

Robert Joyce • January 13, 2026

What does rapid AI advancement mean for new offense and the defense?

Nation-state cyber threats have fundamentally changed. It's no longer about espionage—it's about pre-positioning inside critical infrastructure to trigger societal panic when conflicts escalate.

In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, I join WWT's Madison Horn to discuss how AI is compressing the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, why agentic AI changes the attacker's playbook, and how defenders must now leverage AI as a force multiplier just to keep pace.

Listen to the episode.
