#25: Cyber Attacks, AI Criminals, Deep Fakes, Data Shields, and the Future of Cybersecurity w/ Arctic Wolf CEO Nick Schneider

The future of cybersecurity. In it we cover cybercriminal organizations, network effects of security, data as our biggest weapon, crypto’s gift to bad actors and the threat of cyberwarfare.

Nick Schneider is CEO of Arctic Wolf, one of the leading companies safeguarding the enterprise from cybersecurity threats. With a global presence and over 2,000 employees protecting more than 3,000 customers, they are a force in security operations. With an eye on going public, Arctic Wolf has been valued at over $4B calling KKR and Viking Global amongst its deep pocketed investors. Leading the company is Nick Schneider, a veteran in the security industry, Nick has developed expertise in creating best-of-breed technology platforms and sales organizations, which have been the driving force behind Arctic Wolf’s explosive growth. Prior to Arctic Wolf, Nick led organizations at Dell and Code42.

Of key interest to me is how Nick is deeply involved in being at the frontier of artificial intelligence’s influence on cybersecurity — in particulate the dual role of AI, as both an enabler and inhibitor of cybercrime, which epitomizes the modern cybersecurity conundrum.
