Is Your Holiday Traffic Human—or AI-Driven and Under Attack?

As businesses approach the holiday season, security teams feel the pressure while online activity increases. At the same time, AI is quickly changing how attacks are launched and how organisations function daily.

In the recent episode of The Security Strategist podcast, host Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, sits down with Pascal Geenens, VP of Threat Intelligence at Radware, to discuss why CISOs need to rethink their long-held beliefs about attackers, users, and what “web traffic” really means in an AI-driven world.

They talk about the dual nature of AI in cybercrime, the emergence of new tools that facilitate attacks, and the importance of automated pen testing as a defence strategy. The conversation also highlights vulnerabilities associated with AI assistants, such as indirect prompt injection, and emphasises the need for organisations to adopt best practices to safeguard against these threats.
