AI-Powered Zero Trust: Because Apparently Firewalls and Common Sense Weren’t Enough

So here we bloody go again — another “revolutionary” webinar where some self-proclaimed cyber messiah tells us how their AI-powered, zero-trust, machine-learning-whatever-the-fuck can save the day. The gist? They’re flogging this shiny new security paradigm that promises to spot and stop attackers before they even blink — no files, no indicators, no problem, right? Yeah, pull the other one.

Apparently, the modern threat landscape is such a flaming dumpster fire that we now need AI that sniffs invisible malware, interprets zero-day burps, and chases ghosts around the datacenter. The marketing drones say it’s “behavior-based detection” — translation: the system stares at your users, assumes they’re all suspicious bastards, and freaks out when Jeff from accounting tries to open a spreadsheet he made yesterday.

But sure, the webinar claims this glorious AI-powered zero-trust model doesn’t need antiquated crap like signatures or indicators of compromise — nope, it “learns” the network and automagically knows when someone’s up to no good. Right. Because we’ve never heard that one before. Next thing you know, it’ll want a corner office and a salary.

Still, if you fancy being lectured about why you need to throw your existing security stack out the nearest window and replace it with yet another buzzword casserole — this webinar’s your ticket. Bring coffee. And maybe a sick bag for all the AI hype that’ll be shoveled your way.

Reminds me of the time a manager once asked if we could “install AI” to fix a printer jam. I said sure, right after we install some common sense in the IT budget. Needless to say, the printer’s still jamming, and the manager’s now in charge of “digital transformation.”
