The Rise of Prompt Kiddies | Jake Bernardes - #306

What happens when hackers no longer need to know how to hack?

In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, host G. Mark Hardy interviews Jake Bernardes, CISO at Gambit, about how autonomous AI agents are transforming cyberattacks. From exploiting decades-old vulnerabilities to launching attacks against hundreds of companies simultaneously, AI is changing the cybersecurity game.

For aspiring CISOs, the message is clear: You can't prevent every attack. You must build an organization that can survive them.

In this episode, you'll learn: How AI agents are making sophisticated hacking accessible to almost anyone. Why technical debt and AI-generated code are creating new security risks. Why CISOs need to think more like attackers. How to prioritize the systems and processes that keep your business running. Why cyber resilience and recovery are becoming just as important as prevention. How to test and prove your organization's ability to recover from an attack.

The CISO Takeaway: Stop assuming your security tools will save you. Understand what matters to the business, make smarter risk decisions, and prove you can recover when things go wrong.
