Fighting bad bots with good bots
The term ‘bot’ often evokes a sense of annoyance, scepticism, or even dread. Whether it’s trending hashtags manipulated by an army of automated accounts, or your X (fka Twitter) feed being inundated with political propaganda, bots have gained a reputation as digital pests.
But what if they could be used for good in cybersecurity?
In this episode of the Next Stage, Signifyd co-founder and CEO Rajesh Ramanand and Avery Pennarun, co-founder and CEO of Tailscale, talk about employing bots as a proxy for the user and doing automated tasks on their behalf, including fighting scam bots.
When it comes to detecting and deterring increasingly convincing AI-generated phishing attacks, Rajesh says, “it's not a human versus AI anymore … it's now AI versus AI”.
Rajesh Ramanand, co-founder and CEO of Signifyd, and Avery Pennarun, co-founder and CEO of Tailscale, were in conversation with Sam Sabin, cybersecurity reporter for Axios, on FullSTK at Collision 2023.
