InformationWeek Podcast: Fighting Bad Actors With Access to Similar AI
InformationWeek, Tuesday, October 13th, 2026
Phison CTO Sebastien Jean discusses defending against attackers who use the same AI tools that help close security skills gaps.
InformationWeek senior editor Joao-Pierre S. Ruth talks with Sebastien Jean, CTO of Phison Electronics, about the double-edged nature of AI in cybersecurity.
Companies are turning to AI to cover skills gaps their security teams can't fill fast enough, but hackers are already using the same tools to breach defenses.
The conversation covers why AI alone may not be enough to outmaneuver adversaries and how hiring and training fit in.
Jean also explains how he approaches the challenge at a hardware company.
