Remember when iPods were the hot new thing?

Ever wonder why we still call these shows “podcasts” even though iPods are practically museum pieces?

In this new episode of Cyber After Hours—S1E4 The Evolving Role of AI in Cyber Defense—we take a playful look at tech’s most enduring terminologies, like “firewall” and “port," and uncover how nautical, historical, and downright whimsical origins continue to shape our modern tech vocabulary.

It’s a fun reminder that the language we use can be just as fascinating as the gadgets themselves.

But it’s not all laughs and nostalgia.

We also share real-world tales from the cybersecurity front lines, reflecting on the rollercoaster of growing a business, grappling with regulatory hurdles like ISO and HIPAA, and wrestling with compliance fatigue.

Along the way, we open up about the challenges of entrepreneurship—balancing the rush of innovation with the everyday reality of keeping data secure.

Finally, we dive into the heart of AI’s transformative potential, exploring how generative AI is powering groundbreaking advancements while simultaneously arming cybercriminals with cutting-edge tools.

From big wins in automation to the unsettling misuse of machine learning, we paint a vivid picture of cybersecurity’s shifting landscape.

Tune in to hear our take on the strategies, safeguards, and mindset required to stay ahead in this high-stakes digital arena—and don’t miss the chance to see how AI is rewriting the rules of cyber defense.
