Cybersecurity has never been more critical—or more complicated. Enterprises are grappling with a shortage of skilled professionals, rising security demands, and the growing question: can automation and AI close the gap, or are they introducing new risks?

To unpack these challenges, I’m joined by Adam Casey, Director of Security at Qodea. Together, we’ll explore how companies can manage cybersecurity complexity across locations, deal with legacy systems, avoid the pitfalls of tooling sprawl, and lead smarter, more unified security strategies in 2025.
