Wiz chief technologist Ami Luttwak on how AI is transforming cyberattacks
Ami Luttwak, CTO of Wiz, breaks down how AI is changing cybersecurity, why startups shouldn't write a single line of code before thinking about security, and opportunities for upstarts in the industry.
Wiz, which was acquired by Google earlier this year for $32 billion, conducted tests recently, says Luttwak, and found that a common issue in vibe coded applications was insecure implementation of the authentication — the system that verifies a user’s identity and ensures they’re not an attacker. That’s what happened last month when Drift — a startup that sells AI chatbots for sales and marketing — was breached, exposing the Salesforce data of hundreds of enterprise customers like Cloudflare, Palo Alto Networks, and Google. Planning this way from the start means you won’t have to overhaul processes later and incur what Luttwak calls “security debt.” And if you aim to sell to enterprises, you’ll already be prepared to protect their data.
