AI in cybersecurity: Real innovation or just marketing hype?

In this episode of Cybercast, Marvin Ngoma from Elastic joins host Ronnie Jaanhold to cut through the noise and uncover what AI actually does in cybersecurity.

Topics covered:
* AI vs. machine learning—what’s the difference?
* How security teams can leverage AI for real impact
*  Common AI myths—will AI replace cybersecurity jobs?
*  Elastic’s latest AI innovations and real-world use cases

 AI isn’t magic—but when used correctly, it reduces alert fatigue, speeds up investigations, and helps analysts focus on real threats. Learn how AI-powered threat detection is evolving and what your security team should do next.

Passwords have been a security weak spot for decades. But what if you didn’t need them anymore? In this episode, Padraigh Conway from Keeper Security joins us to explore the future of authentication.

* Why are passwords failing us?
* How passkeys and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are changing security
* The truth about password managers, biometrics, and 2FA
* Are businesses ready for a passwordless future?

More than half of all breaches are caused by weak or reused passwords. That’s why companies and individuals must rethink how they protect accounts and sensitive data.

Humans remain the strongest—and weakest—link in cybersecurity. In this eye-opening episode, psychologist and leadership trainer Andero Teras reveals how cognitive bias, micro-habits, and everyday communication patterns shape cyber risk far more than technology alone. Learn why our brains misjudge digital threats, how attackers exploit human heuristics, and what small behavioral changes can dramatically improve security culture.

From storytelling to closed-loop communication, Andero shares practical, real-world strategies that CISOs and teams can start using today.
Tune in to discover how to build stronger defenses by understanding the human mind.
