In Episode 5 of The Connected Frontier, we explore the shift from human-led cyber conflict to a new era where autonomous systems both attack and defend in real time. The episode examines how AI accelerates the "decision loop" for attackers through personalized phishing and automated reconnaissance, while simultaneously enabling defenders to respond at machine speed. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to consider the strategic implications of this machine-versus-machine battlefield and the evolving role of human oversight in an autonomous enterprise.
