Fortra Chief Strategy Officer John Grancarich joined Evan Kirstel on the What’s Up with Tech podcast to discuss how uniting red and blue team operations creates a proactive cybersecurity model that breaks the attack chain before it starts. John also explored the growing impact of AI on security, a new unified approach to data protection following Fortra’s acquisition of Lookout’s cloud security business, and the future of the 10x security engineer.

Excerpt: "What we’ve come up with is the idea of the 10x security engineer. Can we take the average prototypical security analyst today and magnify their ability to do security work a manner of tenfold? And if so, what would that look like? You‘ll always need humans to govern the systems and figure out where the AI, tools and automated technology will work. But I think there‘s an absolutely huge opportunity here to take what a person can do and magnify that, and we‘re just scratching the surface of that.“
