NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang gave cybersecurity his seal of approval, calling it the next major growth market, aligning with a growing number of indicators suggesting an inflection ahead. In his view, like many others, AI automation drives an exponential increase in code to be scanned, and that’s not counting the need to secure AI modeling facilities, the data AI runs on, or the impact of agents, which can hallucinate and run amok.
The layer Huang adds is the need for continuous monitoring and persistent defense, as this is not just about increased attack traffic but speed. Machine-driven attacks come at lightning-fast speeds, can adapt quickly, seek vulnerabilities, and exploit them before legacy security knows what’s happening, if it ever figures it out.
