[featureTitle] => Morné Laubscher and Nabeel Rajab on fighting AI cyberattacks with AI
[featureDescription] => AI cyberattacks are forcing businesses to rethink cybersecurity as criminals increasingly use the same powerful technology available to defenders.\r\n\r\nMorné Laubscher, Chief Technology Officer at Logicalis, and Nabeel Rajab, Cisco Security Solutions Manager, explain how artificial intelligence is reshaping the cybersecurity battle for South African organisations.\r\n\r\nThey discuss why traditional security approaches are struggling against AI-powered threats, particularly as businesses accumulate multiple disconnected security tools and huge volumes of data. 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
