About this episode
Horizon3 co-founder and CEO Snehal Antani discusses the launch of the company’s Adversarial Intelligence Frontier Lab and how AI agents are changing offensive and defensive cybersecurity. He explains why frontier AI models fail against basic cyber deception, why private behind-the-firewall training data is the real moat over compute, and why attackers rely on machine-speed execution of basic flaws rather than zero-days.
