Man, this whole AI hype train... Yeah, sure, the tools are definitely getting sharper and faster, no doubt about it. But an AI pulling off a *real* pentest? Seriously doubt that's happening anytime soon. Let's be real: automated scans are useful, but they just aren't the same beast as a genuine penetration test.

Honestly, I think security needs to be woven right into the fabric of a company from the get-go. It can't just be an afterthought you tack on when alarms are already blaring.

Now, don't get me wrong, AI definitely brings its own set of dangers – disinformation is a big one that springs to mind. But here's the thing: we absolutely *have* to get our heads around these tools and figure them out. If we don't keep pace, we risk becoming irrelevant pretty quick.

So, curious to hear what you all think – where do the greatest pitfalls lie with AI in the security field? What keeps you up at night?

Oh man, Fortinet *yet again*! A symlink bug that *still grants* read-only access even after updates? Seriously, that's my kind of 'funny'!

It just goes to show how crucial manual testing really is. You know, the kind of thing automated scans often just don't catch. Our clients are *always* relieved when we spot these things before a malicious actor does!

So yeah, updates are vital, but *don't forget* to double-check those configs! Otherwise, attackers might still have a foothold, even after you've 'patched'.

Just remember: Security isn't just a product you buy; it's an ongoing process. And let's be real, it also needs to fit the budget.

What persistence tricks do you all have up your sleeve?

Whoa, the IT security world was on FIRE this week! Open source supply chain attacks, malware sneaking into the Play Store, ransomware bypassing EDR... and is AI just pouring gasoline on the phishing flames?! Seriously intense! Cloud security's getting a raw deal and let's be real, backups are only as good as their security.

It's wild how rapidly the threat landscape's evolving, isn't it? Gotta stay sharp, folks! Automated vulnerability scans? They're definitely nice, but manual penetration tests are still essential. And AI? Awesome tech, but also seriously risky. Disinformation and manipulation are spiraling out of control. We've gotta stay vigilant!

So, what are *your* biggest IT security pain points right now? Spill the beans!
