Cybersecurity has officially entered the AI vs AI era. Nadir Izrael, Co-Founder and CTO of Armis — now part of ServiceNow — joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to talk about what changes when attackers run at machine speed and defenders have to keep up. Nadir explains why pre-breach response windows have collapsed from weeks-to-months down to days, and why post-breach response has gone from hours-to-days down to seconds-to-minutes. He argues defenders still hold two powerful advantages: home court advantage — deep, real-time context on every asset, identity, privilege, vulnerability, and control inside the environment — and the advantage of time, which can be used to run continuous simulations and prep for whatever attackers throw at them. With Armis joining ServiceNow's workflow backbone, Nadir lays out why the combination is uniquely positioned to operationalize AI-driven defense across the full attack surface — IT, OT, IoT, medical devices, and now AI agents themselves.
