In this episode of Mitiga Mic, Brian Contos, Field CISO at Mitiga, sits down with Mitiga CTO and Co-founder Ofer Maor to break down one of the most confusing and overused terms in cybersecurity today: AIDR.
Ofer cuts through the buzzwords and explains the three pillars security leaders must understand: defending with AI, defending AI systems, and defending from AI-powered attackers. He shares why AI attacks today are only the beginning, how agent-driven attacks will shift the scale of operations from thousands of alerts to potentially millions, and why “human in the loop” response models may not survive the next wave of automation.
The conversation explores how AI is accelerating phishing, vishing, and data exploitation today; how startup innovation in autonomous offensive agents will soon mature into real-world attacker tooling; and why SOC teams must evolve toward agentic automation to avoid becoming the bottleneck.
As AI expands across cloud, SaaS, identity, and productivity platforms, the attack surface grows more complex and less visible. Posture-based prevention will inevitably fail. The question becomes whether your detection and response strategy can operate at machine speed.
