Summary
Nikesh Arora argued that falling AI intelligence costs will make vulnerability discovery available to defenders and attackers alike, forcing enterprises to rebuild insecure IT infrastructure over the next three to five years. He framed Palo Alto Networks’ platform consolidation push as a way to analyze security data at machine speed and reduce detection and response from days toward one minute.
