In this episode of CYBR.HAK.CAST, Michael and Phil sit down with Christian Schnedler, CEO and Founder of Rilian Technologies, to explore the growing intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure. Christian shares how his background in counterterrorism, public safety, government, and private equity shaped his approach to protecting increasingly connected IT and OT environments. The conversation dives into the limits of air-gapped systems, how agentic AI can help reduce SOC complexity and alert fatigue, and why automation in critical infrastructure still requires careful guardrails and human oversight.
