Are AI-powered cyberattacks really the existential threat vendors claim? Or are we being sold fear to fuel product sales? In this episode of The Cyber Insights Podcast (powered by Edge7 Networks), hosts Ronan Murray and Ian Finlayson are joined by Andre Lynch, Senior Sales Engineer at ConnectWise, to cut through the AI marketing noise and reveal what's actually happening in the cybersecurity landscape.
