The AI-Cybersecurity Collision: Why Identity Is Now Your Weakest Link – With Keith Pasley Ep. 107
🎧 Episode 107: The AI-Cybersecurity Collision: Why Identity Is Now Your Weakest Link
Guest: Keith Pasley – Identity & Governance Strategist
🎯 Summary:
Identity is no longer just an IT responsibility—it's now the central pillar of your cybersecurity strategy. In this episode, Keith Pasley explains how identity has become the new perimeter, how AI accelerates credential-based attacks, and why SMBs must rethink access control, compliance, and governance strategies.
🔑 Top 3 Takeaways:
1. Identity is Your Perimeter Now
Traditional firewalls can’t stop compromised credentials. The security front line has moved.
2. AI Changes the Speed of Risk
Threat actors now use AI to automate breach attempts—governance and culture must evolve fast.
3. Access Is the New Strategy
Treat identity as a business-critical priority, not an IT checkbox.
💬 Key Quotes:
• “Every user becomes a security officer.”
• “AI is a game changer.”
• “Access control IS cybersecurity.”
• “We treat identity like a side dish when it should be the main course.”
