Index Ventures: AI attacks too fast for human-in-the-loop defense, new security stack emerging
RebeccaBellan · x · 2026-09-25
Shardul Shah, partner at Index Ventures, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast argues the old cybersecurity model may be breaking down: as AI-powered attacks get faster and cheaper, human-in-the-loop defense won't be enough, potentially leading to machine-vs-machine security and an entirely new enterprise security stack. He also discusses the permanent, resilient demand for cybersecurity and how enterprises should think about security spending in the AI era.
