In this Risky Business News sponsored interview, Tom Uren talks to Josh Kamdjou, founder and CEO of Sublime Security, about the spectrum of attacks that are taking advantage of generative AI.

Josh also talks about how different AI models can be used to identify these attacks even when they are novel.
