Description

As technology evolves, so does our understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. 

This week on Feds At the Edge, we break down how artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity, where it can meaningfully improve defense, and what agencies should consider before deploying it.  

LCDR Ian Roessle, Deputy Director, Center for High Assurance Computer Systems at the Naval Research Laboratory, explains why vulnerabilities don't always translate to real risk and emphasizes knowing your systems inside and out. He also notes that AI can introduce new exposures. 

Martin Stanley, AI & Cybersecurity Researcher at NIST, outlines the Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI program, which is designed to help leaders validate and secure AI-enabled systems.  

Jarrod Vawdrey, Field Chief Data Scientist at Domino Data Lab, discusses how agencies can move toward AI-driven cyber defense by assessing data readiness, isolating high-value targets, and shifting away from static, rules-based tools. 

Tune in on your favorite podcast today as we explore practical guidance for deploying AI in cybersecurity while managing the risks it introduces.
