AI & the Fifth Domain of Warfare: A Talk with Eyal Balicer, Cybersecurity Innovator & Thought Leader

Assi Ungar shares how a career that began with WordPerfect support evolved into leading global cybersecurity at scale. He reflects on why trusting nothing is now a safety measure, why process beats panic, and how empathy—not fear—is the CISO’s strongest tool. He also explores AI’s double-edged role in modern security and why protecting personal spaces is now just as vital as enterprise systems.

Fraud‑investigator‑turned‑entrepreneur Ori Eisen revives the 1990s “nobody knows you’re a dog” cartoon to show how today’s Gen‑AI deepfakes make that joke a board‑level risk. Tracing his path from inventing device‑fingerprinting to launching insured, passwordless logins, he argues identity—not credentials—is the internet’s final perimeter, urging enterprises to gauge every transaction by human‑level risk, from library cards to dam controls.

MD‑turned‑neuroscientist Nima Schei shares how modeling the brain’s limbic system led him from crab‑neuron labs to Guacamole ID—lightweight, continuous desktop authentication—while devising guardrails against deepfakes and MFA fatigue. His bio‑inspired algorithms suggest emotional intelligence in machines can raise trust, cut compute, and free teams in fast‑moving enterprises.

When Lucas Hu witnessed a deepfake breach his firm’s defenses, he recognized the limits of traditional tooling. Leveraging a decade of ML research and hands-on cybersecurity experience, he pioneered a “Swiss cheese” model—layering email, domain, and behavioral signals—to outsmart evolving phishing and deepfake attacks.

After witnessing a high-stakes breach test turn real, Joshua Crumbaugh shifted from underground hacking roots into marketing strategy, then combined both to pioneer ethical social engineering. At Phish Firewall, he applies behavioral science and AI-powered micro-simulations to train employees in role-specific threat responses and foster a culture of vigilant defense.

As deepfakes evolve at breakneck speed, Ofer Friedman sounds the alarm on how our senses and even biometric verification, can no longer be trusted. He reveals how fraudsters bypass security not by hacking systems, but by impersonating humans in real-time. From the rise of fraud-as-a-service to the failure of traditional AI defenses, Ofer unpacks a perfect storm threatening our digital identities. He shares why explainability and anomaly detection are the next frontier and why the clock is ticking.#20MinuteLeaders #DeepfakeSecurity #AIIdentityTheft #Cybersecurity #DigitalIdentity #DeepfakeThreat #FraudDetection #AIExplainability #ZeroDayThreat #OferFriedman #HumanImpersonation

Anthony Sahakian’s journey into deepfake detection began before the world even had a name for it. From navigating misinformation in authoritarian regimes to pioneering AI-driven solutions for enterprises, he shares hard-earned lessons on the limits of technology, the power of cognitive bias, and why the fight against digital deception starts with human awareness.

Cyber threats evolve constantly, but most organizations still rely on static, outdated risk assessments that leave them vulnerable. Mario Procopio challenges this mindset with CACR—Continuous Assessment, Continuous Remediation—a methodology inspired by agile DevOps principles that enables real-time risk visibility, adaptive security strategies, and faster decision-making. He breaks down how CISOs can shift from reactive defenses to proactive, dynamic risk management, ensuring security evolves as fast as the business.
