On this week's episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Stel Valavanis, founder of onShore Networks, argues that AI is a significant milestone but does not change where security is headed.

He puts AI alongside the Internet and TCP/IP and makes the case that the path forward is clear: fully embrace it as a tool, regardless of which side of the equation you are on.

He also points out that agentic and automated AI was already being deployed well before LLMs arrived.

The full conversation covers:

> Early Internet assumptions that turned out to be completely wrong
> The risk of over-automating security operations
> What Stel looks for when investing in early-stage companies
> Building and sustaining a security-focused company across three decades
