Zero Trust Thirty: Interview with Dr. Zero Trust, Chase Cunningham

You’ll want to carve out 25 minutes to listen to this discussion with Dr. Zero Trust, Chase Cunningham.

We discuss how the intersection of AI and cybersecurity has never been more volatile. AI and cybersecurity are advancing at a breakneck pace, reshaping how companies build software, how cyber threats emerge, and even how markets react to new developments. The challenge? It’s all happening faster than regulators, security teams, or even investors can keep up.

To break down what’s really happening, I sat down with Chase, a former Navy cryptologist, ex-NSA contractor, former Forrester analyst, and a seven-time (soon to be eight time) author in cybersecurity. If anyone gets our industry, it’s Chase. Our conversation dug into the deeper implications of AI’s rapid growth and how cybersecurity, geopolitics, and product marketers need to adjust.

A few key takeaways:

AI is accelerating cybersecurity risks—Deepfakes, breached large language models (LLMs), and AI-driven attacks are becoming more frequent.
“Buy the Breach” is a real investing strategy—Historically, major cyber breaches cause short-term stock dips but long-term gains. Some investors are capitalizing on this pattern.
Geopolitics and AI are more intertwined than ever—From national AI strategies to government-backed AI research, the battle for AI dominance is a global game. Learn about Chase’s petition to bring Zero Trust principles to capitol hill.
Startups keep getting analyst briefings wrong—Most security vendors don’t understand how analysts think, leading to missed opportunities and botched briefings. Learn how to succeed for your next briefing from someone who sat that a ton of them as an analyst.
The way we build software is changing—With AI-assisted development, non-developers can now create and launch apps in hours, fundamentally shifting software security risks.

These shifts are happening right now, and the cybersecurity industry needs to be ready.
