Brief Highlights from Infosecurity Europe
Cybersecurity and The AI Arms Race - Tech TV reporting from Infosecurity Europe and Cohesity Catalyst London
The TechTV team held a host of interviews at Infosecurity Europe 2026, and the same blunt question came up time and again. In the arms race between cyber attackers and cyber defenders, who is winning? And we had a range of different answers, all the way from Sentinel One’s Chris Hosking, who was very, very positive:
"Here I think the tide is actually turning in real time. Certainly if I look to last year, the threat landscape was able to adopt AI quite rapidly. They don't have sort of the controls that we do or the mechanisms, so we were slower to adopt it but now I genuinely believe the defenders have the edge."
to Threat Aware’s Jon Abbott, who sounded the alarm bells.
"So we're definitely in an arms race. I would say we're definitely losing, to be honest. I mean, you've only got to look at the number of attacks that are happening every single year."
In explaining the AI arms race, many of those that we interviewed referred to Mythos as a potential example of how AIs automating cybersecurity to help both attackers and defenders find vulnerabilities at machine speed.
And beneath the AI headlines, the same hard-nosed messages reoccurred.
Firstly, the basics still matter most, and humans are still essential.
Secondly, are there too many point solutions, and is there too little integration, making complexity as much of a challenge as cyberdefense itself?
And finally, is vibe coding quietly building vulnerabilities and problems for the future?
In the next few weeks, we will be bringing programs to air on many of these topics, but in the meantime, our focus is already moving on to the next big event, which is Cohesity’s Catalyst London on June the 22nd. Here to tell you about it, is James Blake.
"So here we are at InfoSec London. So there's an awful lot of people at this show talking about prevention and detection. Not so many talking about resilience, what happens when that inevitable attack happens. "So come and join us at Catalyst at the Royal Institute, where we're going to be there with partners such as AWS, ServiceNow, PwC and the City of London Police, and learn how you can deliver true resiliency for your organization, restoring not just data, but trust."
And there’s still an opportunity to register for this event, so please go to the QR code link here.
See you all soon.
