Cybersecurity did not get here because people were stupid. It got here because we built reactively, solving the threats, technologies, and business problems in front of us as they appeared.\n\nThe problem is that some of those assumptions have outlived the conditions that created them.\n\nIn this episode of Random Access Memories, George Kamide joins Jake Bernardes to talk about what happens when an industry built for constant change starts carrying too much legacy thinking. They get into burnout and the culture of overcommitment, why security leaders are still expected to prove impossible levels of technical breadth, and why understanding how your company actually makes money may matter more than another layer of expertise.\nThe conversation eventually turns to AI, not as a tool problem, but as an operating model problem. If technology can perform pieces of work dramatically faster than the human systems around it, then automating the task without rethinking the organization may just move the bottleneck somewhere else.\nGeorge’s argument is not that cyber was built wrong. It is that cyber was built for the problems we had, and we need to get better at recognizing when the objectives have outgrown the delivery model.\nIn this episode\nWhy cybersecurity and startup culture are unusually good at creating burnout\nWhy consistency often matters more than intensity\nThe impossible breadth of expertise expected from modern security leaders\nWhy business fluency becomes critical as your career grows\nWhat AI exposes about the way we structure teams and work\nWhy the next phase of cyber may require changing the system, not just adding better tools","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AgTc_ajuZymV7B6Is4iwonkllAQv6bMTNgmQnuJEL_A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NGMz/OWQxZDMwZjBiYjQx/ODZlYjc3ZjJlN2Jk/YzM5Yy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
