Amazon is redefining security by integrating AI, physical safety, and public-private collaboration to combat digital threats.
Steve Schmidt, Amazon's Chief Security Officer, emphasizes the importance of considering physical security in addition to digital security.
Amazon's security posture is described as proactive, AI-driven, and deeply integrated across physical and digital realms.
AI agents are used by Amazon for proactive threat detection, simulate attackers and defenders, and respond swiftly to attacks.
Defensive agents in Amazon generate digital signatures quickly to prevent future attacks, transforming the defense of systems.
Although AI enhances accuracy and speed, human oversight is crucial for validating actions before deployment according to Schmidt.
Some AI agents could become fully autonomous in low-risk environments, but high-stakes systems will still require human supervision.
As a paid media partner for the AWS Summit Washington, DC event, TheCUBE conducted an exclusive interview with Steve Schmidt discussing AI agents for cybersecurity at Amazon.
