About this talk
You've read the headlines: AI is coming for cybersecurity. Then you fired up fable, asked "what is cyber," and got told your question tripped a guardrail. This talk breaks down the wall between the hype and the work. We show how a real red team uses AI as a force multiplier across research, development, and operations. And no, before you ask, we're not running that automated pentest bot you saw on GitHub, X, and YouTube.
