Returning guest Tim Burkard joins Yves to look at security in a world where AI speeds up both attack and defense. Once a vulnerability is public, AI can turn it into a working exploit almost instantly. Add shadow AI inside the data center and legacy systems that can’t be upgraded, and the old perimeter-first model no longer holds up.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why the window between disclosure and exploitation has collapsed, and how near-real-time response is becoming the standard
What “shadow AI” means for internal trust, and why zero trust has to extend to your own admins and infrastructure
How to protect legacy and unsupported operating systems without touching the guest
The architectural case for running security in the hypervisor: performance, mobility with vMotion, simpler upgrades, easier recovery and less vendor lock-in
How vDefend’s distributed firewall, IDPS, Security Services Platform and AI-assisted rule building fit together in VCF 9.1
Why right-sizing and private cloud design matter more than ever for cost efficiency
This episode is for VMware architects, security teams and IT leaders who want a practical view of east-west protection in the AI era.
