AI Won’t Save Cybersecurity
In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, Jax sits down with Kathleen Moriarty, technology strategist, former CTO and CISO, Georgetown University adjunct professor, and one of the few people who has helped shape how internet security actually works.
This is not a hype episode.
Kathleen challenges the dominant narrative that AI will “fix” cybersecurity and explains why that belief may be creating more risk than it removes—especially for organizations with limited resources. Drawing on decades of experience influencing global standards, teaching cyber threat intelligence, and advising boards, she breaks down where automation helps, where it hurts, and where we’ve completely lost the plot.
This conversation explores:
- Why AI is being oversold as a cybersecurity solution
- How automation without understanding creates hidden systemic risk
- The growing divide between organizations that can afford security—and those that can’t
- What responsible AI use in cybersecurity should actually look like
- The uncomfortable truths leaders need to face before scaling AI-driven defenses
If you’re tired of buzzwords, vendor promises, and magical thinking around AI—this episode brings the clarity the industry desperately needs.
