Rajab walks through how a modern ransomware attack can move from a malicious link to compromised devices, networks, and critical company data without immediately being detected.\r\n\r\nThe conversation also explores how AI can connect security signals and automate responses at machine speed. Laubscher explains why identity has become a major security frontier, while Rajab outlines the importance of zero trust and operating on the assumption that a breach could already have occurred.\r\n\r\nThey also discuss managed cybersecurity services and how businesses without large internal security teams can access specialist skills and technology.\r\n\r\n0:00 Intro\r\n1:41 How serious is the cyber threat?\r\n4:01 Why traditional cybersecurity is failing\r\n5:16 Fighting AI attacks with AI\r\n8:13 Identity and zero-trust security\r\n9:42 How a ransomware attack works\r\n15:05 Detecting and stopping attacks with AI\r\n20:29 What businesses should do now\r\n\r\nFollow MyBroadband:\r\nX - https://twitter.com/mybroadband\r\nFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mybroadband\r\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mybroadband/\r\nWebsite - https://mybroadband.co.za/news/\r\n\r\n#Cybersecurity #ArtificialIntelligence #Ransomware [featureEpisode] => https://player.vimeo.com/video/1227604574 [featureDuration] => 32:20 min [featureImageMobile] => img/guests/ET-026-0048-002.jpg [featurePublication] => 2026-09-17 06:39:24 [featureLogo] => img/logos/SL261.png )
