@briankrebs@infosec.exchange at the end of the talk, the dilemma is described nicely: the capabilities to launch sophisticated attacks are plenty (and they are remarkably smart, to put it mildly), but the defences fall far short on almost every level.
Automated hacking, but no serious (automated) defences - apart from pulling the plug …

@riaschissl@sigmoid.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange And how would the defender win anyway? It does the attack 99 times, but it'll fail on the 100th - or even fail on the 9,999,999th try - but thats mere seconds to these agentic swarms! A single A100 80gb card is far more powerful, for £5k, than an average supercomputer just 15 years ago. It'll blow those PlayStation clusters out the water, for 1% of the cost and 1% of the electricity. And they have thousands!
