Listen as Spot Director of Technology Ben Garvin leads an in-depth discussion with Christoper Fielder, the Field Chief Technology Officer at Arctic Wolf. In this episode, the pair discuss:

• AI is a Powerful Tool, But Humans Remain Central: While AI excels at anomaly detection, human expertise is critical for interpreting data and responding effectively to threats. Businesses should leverage AI to enhance human capabilities, not replace them. 
• Shared Responsibility in the Cloud: Businesses share responsibility with cloud providers to secure data. Don’t rely solely on provider security features; actively monitor and secure your cloud resources. 
• IRPs and Breach Coaches are Essential: Develop an Incident Response Plan (IRP) to minimize damage from cyberattacks. Consider an IRP retainer for a faster and more effective response. Negotiate with attackers using breach coaches to reduce ransom demands and navigate legal complexities.
