The AI Gold Rush in Cybersecurity with Chris Cochran
The new cybersecurity pioneers aren’t chasing alerts, they’re building with AI. But what happens when tools meant to assist begin making decisions for us? And what skills do we lose when machines fill the gaps we used to grow into?
In this episode, Chris Cochran, CEO and Founder of Commandant, returns to Hacker Valley Studio with an insider view on building in the AI boom. He shares why he’s betting on incident response over the “AI SOC,” what it means to use AI with integrity, and how this moment mirrors the early industrial revolutions: chaotic, risky, but ripe with once-in-a-career opportunity.
Impactful Moments:

02:11 – Launch of Commandant AI
03:06 – Early-stage LLM opportunities
05:26 – Built first AI co-pilot in 4 hours
06:00 – AI bot tops HackerOne leaderboard
07:44 – AI used for and against orgs
10:14 – Focus on incident response, not AI SOC
12:34 – Reducing cost of prolonged incidents
14:01 – Cybersecurity changing every 2 months
16:58 – AI causing rapid skill loss
21:59 – AI-assisted job interviews detected
