  • AI-Enabled Attacks: Why Human-Speed Security Can’t Keep Up

    AI-Enabled Attacks: Why Human-Speed Security Can’t Keep Up
    Dec 5 2025

    AI-enabled attacks are no longer theoretical—they’re here.

    In this episode, Ryan O’Halloran of In Balance IT sits down with Shane Harsch of SentinelOne to break down the first large-scale AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign and what it means for today’s security leaders.

    They explore how attackers are accelerating the kill chain through automation, why human-speed investigation is no longer viable, and the architectural shifts organizations must make to defend at machine speed. From identity blind spots to modular automation, Shane outlines the capabilities modern SOCs need to shorten response time, detect novel threats, and recover quickly.

    What we cover:

    • How AI is reshaping attacker tradecraft and shrinking dwell time
    • Why machine-speed attacks force a rethinking of SOC workflows
    • The critical role of identity visibility and anomaly detection
    • Why automation is now essential—not optional—for defense
    • How SentinelOne is approaching hyper-automation and AI-native security
    • What leaders must do to prepare for attacks that outpace human response

    If you're asking how to build automation, regain visibility, or harden identity in a world of AI-driven threats, this episode offers a clear path forward.
