为智能体时代构建防御体系:凯文·曼迪亚

Building Defense for the Agentic Era: Kevin Mandia

本集简介

a16z 普通合伙人 David George 与 Armadin 创始人兼首席执行官 Kevin Mandia 对谈,探讨当攻击者能够以机器速度运作时,网络安全将发生怎样的变化。 在安全领域深耕 30 年并创立 Mandiant 后,Kevin 表示人工智能(AI)促使他重返一线。他解释了 AI 如何改变网络攻击的经济模型,使攻击者能够同时探测数千条路径,以及为何这意味着防御最终也必须走向自主化。 他们还深入剖析了 Armadin 的方法论:利用 AI 持续对客户系统进行攻击,在对手之前发现可利用的漏洞,进而构建能够实时响应的自主防御体系。Kevin 分享了 Armadin 在今年于生产环境中发现超过 90 个零日漏洞的经验教训,阐述了人类为何无法继续停留在“检测-响应”循环中,以及整个安全架构在未来几年可能发生的变革。 资源: 了解更多关于 Kevin Mandia 和 Armadin 的信息:https://www.armadin.com/team-members/kevin-mandia 在 X 上关注 David George:https://x.com/DavidGeorge83 了解更多关于 Armadin 的信息:https://www.armadin.com/ 保持更新: 在 YouTube 上找到 a16z:YouTube 在 X 上找到 a16z 在 LinkedIn 上找到 a16z 在 Spotify 上收听 a16z Show 在 Apple Podcasts 上收听 a16z Show 关注我们的主持人:https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg 请注意,此处内容仅供信息参考;不应被视为法律、商业、税务或投资建议,也不应用于评估任何投资或证券;且并非面向任何 a16z 基金的投资者或潜在投资者。a16z 及其关联公司可能持有文中提及公司的投资。更多详情请参阅 a16z.com/disclosures。 由 Simplecast 制作,AdsWizz 旗下公司。有关我们为广告目的收集和使用个人数据的信息,请访问 pcm.adswizz.com。

如果你防守不行,除非你进攻特别强,能跟对方硬碰硬。

If you don't have a defense, unless you have a great offense to go up against.

Speaker 0

你想成为2000年那支巴尔的摩乌鸦队的防守组吗?

You want to be the Baltimore Ravens defense of 2000.

Speaker 0

你需要让训练中的进攻组狠狠逼你一把。

You want to have your practice offense really push you.

Speaker 0

阿马丁就是要这么干。

That's what Armadin's going to do.

Speaker 0

进攻端我们会派出全明星阵容来冲击你们,所以你们可以针对我们的打法来训练防守。

We're going to be the all-star team on offense coming at you, so you can train your defense with what we're doing.

Speaker 1

你打造了Mandiant,取得了巨大的成功。

You built Mandiant, a great success.

Speaker 1

那你为什么决定重新回到一线呢?

Why did you decide to get back on the field?

Speaker 0

我在安全领域干了30年,眼看整个行业就要大变样,我可不想错过这次AI带来的变革,坐在旁边看戏。

I don't want to sit out the AI shift change when I've done 30 years in security, and the whole damn thing's about to change.

Speaker 0

AI在一微秒内能做的事,需要70个人才能完成。

What AI does in a microsecond would take 70 humans.

Speaker 0

而且他们可能还做不到。

They can't even do it.

Speaker 0

这完全是两码事。

It's apples to oranges.

Speaker 1

这在安全领域是从未见过的海啸。

This is a tsunami like has never been seen before in security.

Speaker 0

大家都在说,"让我们放慢模型的发展。

The whole, "Let's slow down the models.

Speaker 0

我们不想承担网络风险。"

We don't want cyber risk."

Speaker 0

太晚了。

Too late.

Speaker 0

开源模型已经足够强大了。

The open models are already good enough.

Speaker 0

从今年一月开始,我们在客户现场发现了90多个零日漏洞,而且都发生在生产环境中。

Armadin, since January of this year, we have found over 90 zero-days at customer sites, all in production.

Speaker 1

这些可不是什么小公司。

This is not rinky-dink companies.

Speaker 1

这些都是世界500强企业。

These are Fortune 500 companies.

Speaker 1

国家级别的攻击和现在的AI相比,有哪些异同?你觉得几年后AI会发展到什么程度?

The differences or similarities between nation state attacks compared to AI today, and then where you think AI can be in a couple of years.

Speaker 0

在防御方面,我们会说:"我们正受到这些模型的攻击,但不知道背后是谁。"

On the defensive side, we're going to say, "We're being attacked by these models, but we're not sure who's behind them."

Speaker 0

是国家吗?

Is it a nation?

Speaker 0

是人类吗?

Is it a human?

Speaker 0

是——

Is it-

Speaker 1

Kevin Mandia在网络安全领域已经深耕了30年。

Kevin Mandia has spent 30 years in cybersecurity.

Speaker 1

他对AI转型的看法很简单。

His view of the AI transition is simple.

Speaker 1

我以前做的那些东西都过时了,接下来的一切都是全新的。

Everything I did is dead, and then everything else is new.

Speaker 1

在本期节目中,David George与Armadin创始人兼CEO、同时也是Mandiant创始人的Kevin坐下来,聊聊当网络攻击从人类速度转变为机器速度时,会发生什么。

In this episode, David George sits down with Kevin, founder and CEO of Armadin and the founder of Mandiant, to talk about what happens when cyberattacks move from human speed to machine speed.

Speaker 1

凯文解释了为什么攻击者能借助AI立刻占据优势,比如同时探测成千上万条路径,以及让原本技术平平的攻击者能力大幅提升。

Kevin explains why AI gives attackers an immediate advantage, from probing thousands of paths simultaneously to making less sophisticated attackers dramatically more capable.

Speaker 1

他指出,目前唯一可行的应对方案是……

And he makes the case that there's only one viable response.

Speaker 1

防御体系也必须实现自动化。

Defense has to become autonomous, too.

Speaker 1

我们还讨论了Armadin如何利用AI持续对客户网络发起攻击、团队在年内发现90多个零日漏洞后总结出的经验,以及为什么凯文认为未来两年几乎会重塑网络安全架构的每一个层级。

We also get into how Armadin uses AI to continuously attack customer networks, what the team has learned from finding more than 90 zero-days this year, and why Kevin believes the next two years could remake nearly every layer of the cybersecurity stack.

Speaker 1

凯文,感谢你来到这里。

Kevin, thanks for being here.

Speaker 0

不,应该谢谢你。

No, thank you.

Speaker 1

好,你创立了Mandiant。

Okay, so you built Mandiant.

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 1

显然,这是一个巨大的成功。

Obviously, a great success.

Speaker 1

经历了很多不同的阶段。

Many different chapters.

Speaker 1

最终被谷歌收购了。

It ended up inside of Google-

Speaker 1

……最终是这样。

... ultimately.

Speaker 1

你为什么决定重新出山?

Why did you decide to get back on the field?

Speaker 0

这是个好问题。

It's a good question.

Speaker 0

其实我也不确定是不是我决定的,听起来可能有点奇怪,但我见了David Slater和Travis Lanham,还有另外的创始人,还有Evan Pena,我认识他。

And I don't know if I decided it, and that'll sound weird, but I met with David Slater and with Travis Lanham, the other founders, and Evan Pena, I knew.

Speaker 0

可以说这家公司是他们创办的。

I could say they started this company.

Speaker 0

他们才是创始人。

They are the founders.

Speaker 0

我见了他们。

I met them.

Speaker 0

他们有了这个想法。

They had the idea.

Speaker 0

他们向我推销了他们想做的事情,我看到了他们身上的才华。

They pitched me on what they wanted to do, and I saw the talent in them.

Speaker 0

特拉维斯是个难得的天才。

Travis is a generational talent.

Speaker 0

戴维·斯莱特,我这么说完全是褒义,他简直是个异类。

David Slater's, and I mean this in a positive way, freak of nature.

Speaker 1

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

这些人真的非常非常厉害。

These guys are really, really good.

Speaker 0

埃文·佩尼亚在他做的事情上非常出色。

Evan Pena is exceptional at what he does.

Speaker 0

当你见到那个团队,和他们交谈时,我一直在听他们讲在做什么,心里想:“我想成为其中一员。”

And when you meet that team, and you talk to them, the whole time I was listening to what they were doing, I was thinking, "I want to be a part of this."

Speaker 0

我在安全领域干了三十年,整个行业马上就要大变天了,我可不想错过AI带来的这次变革。

I don't want to sit out the AI shift change when I've done 30 years in security, and the whole damn thing's about to change.

Speaker 0

那太好了。

That's great.

Speaker 0

我以前做的那些全都过时了,剩下的全是新的。

Everything I did is dead, and then everything else is new.

Speaker 0

但遇到那个团队,他们刚开始创业,我意识到自己和他们真的很合拍,能加速满足需求。

But meeting that team, and they were starting the company, and me realizing, I think I'm a real good fit with these guys to accelerate the need.

Speaker 0

Armadin正在打造的东西,现在每家公司都需要。

What Armadin is building, every company needs now.

Speaker 0

我当时就想,这个团队能把它做出来,而我觉得我能解决当下的问题。

And I was like, "This team that can build it, and I think I can answer the now."

Speaker 0

在安全行业干了三十年,你会遇到一些人。

Thirty years in security, you meet a few people.

Speaker 0

我们去找那些人说,我们已经做出了你们需要的东西。

Let's go to those people and say, "We've built what you need."

Speaker 0

所以我几乎觉得非做不可。

So I almost felt compelled to do it.

Speaker 0

我知道这听起来有点奇怪,但我本来不会再创业了。

I know that sounds weird, but I would not have founded a company again.

Speaker 0

五十多岁的时候——

In mid-50s-

Speaker 0

……我当时在做风投。

... and I was doing venture.

Speaker 0

并不是说“哦,我是个创业者,我喜欢创办公司”。

It wasn't like, "Oh, I'm an entrepreneur, and I love starting companies."

Speaker 0

不是那样的。

That's not it.

Speaker 0

也不是说“哦,我不是风投。

And it wasn't, "Oh, I'm not a VC.

Speaker 0

我只是个搞运营的人。”

I'm just an operational guy."

Speaker 0

不是那样的。

That's not it.

Speaker 0

我遇到了那个团队,然后就想:“我们必须做这件事。”

I met the team and went, "We have to do this."

Speaker 0

就是这么回事。

That's really it.

Speaker 1

当时整个AI领域正在经历一场巨大的变革。

And this whole AI sea change was happening.

Speaker 0

确实如此。

Totally.

Speaker 1

这就是那个转折点,对吧?

That's the catalyst, right?

Speaker 0

对。

Yes.

Speaker 1

那给我们讲讲 Armadin 是做什么的。

So tell us about what Armadin does.

Speaker 0

简单来说,Armadin 利用前沿模型和 AI 进行主动攻击测试,看看你们是否存在可利用的风险。

So Armadin leverages frontier models and AI on offense to test, do you have exploitable risk?

Speaker 0

这也是我们目前主要做的事情。

And that's what we do today.

Speaker 0

我们称之为Armadin Red。

We call it Armadin Red.

Speaker 0

但当我们创办公司时,Travis、David Slater和Evan都知道,网络安全的未来将是,第一,好人必须建造进攻性的网络大炮,并将其对准网络,以确保这些网络能够承受这些攻击,因为这就是即将到来的攻击。

But when we started a company, Travis and David Slater and Evan all knew the future of cybersecurity is going to be, A, the good guys have to build the offensive cyber cannon and shoot it at networks to make sure those networks can withstand these attacks because they're the ones that are coming.

Speaker 0

但我们也知道,这将是好人构建的进攻性AI,与好人构建的防御性AI一起工作和训练。

But we also knew it's going to be AI on offense built by the good guys, working and training with AI on defense built by the good guys.

Speaker 0

你必须两者兼备。

And you have to have both.

Speaker 0

所以我们的第一步是,我们必须成为世界上发现可利用风险的最佳者。

So our act one was, we got to be the best in the world at finding exploitable risk.

Speaker 0

如果我们比坏行为者提前五分钟,无论是国家、罪犯还是麻烦制造者,如果我们比他们提前五分钟,我们也认识到我们的第二步,Armadin Blue,我们必须阻止它。

If we're five minutes ahead of the bad actor, whether it be a nation state, criminal, nuisance, if we're five minutes ahead of them, we also recognized our act two, Armadin Blue, we got to stop it.

Speaker 0

补偿控制,止血带。

Compensating control, tourniquet.

Speaker 0

这就是Armadin所做的。

And so that's what Armadin does.

Speaker 0

我们正在打造人工智能时代所需的防护盾,用来抵御来自AI的攻击。

We're building the force field you will need in the AI age to defend yourself from AI attacks.

Speaker 1

能跟我们讲讲现在AI攻击的能力特点吗?你觉得未来会怎么发展?

Tell us about the nature of the capabilities of AI attacks today, and then where do you think it goes?

Speaker 0

哇。

Wow.

Speaker 0

太棒了。

Great.

Speaker 0

所以它们的特点是这样的:首先,我们正处于一个比较特殊的观察窗口期,能看到它们,但程度并没有你预期的那么高。

So the nature of them is, first off, we're getting a weird window in time where we're seeing them, but not at the same level you'd expect.

Speaker 0

我在现实中还没见过像 Armadin 已经部署的那些东西——有两万五千个代理协同工作,配合默契,干的事非常聪明,而且不会去搞那些乱七八糟的钓鱼活动。

I've seen nothing like what Armadin's already built in the wild, which is there's 25,000 agents all in concert, all working together, doing really, really smart things without going on bizarre fishing trips.

Speaker 0

因为一旦遭到 AI 攻击,你能很快判断出对方是 AI。

Because when you respond to an AI attack, you can tell it's AI very quickly.

Speaker 0

至少我能做到,因为我在这方面研究进攻手段挺多的。

At least I can, because I've thought about a lot of offense.

Speaker 0

我以前应对过很多由人类主导的攻击。

I've responded to a lot of attacks in the past that were led by humans.

Speaker 0

人类入侵时,会从A点走到B点,再到C点。

And a human goes to point A, then to point B, then to point C through their intrusion.

Speaker 0

AI会做些小动作,比如四五个不同之处,但其中一个就是,它会先攻破A点,然后横向移动到B点。接下来,你又会看到它试图再次攻破A点。

AI does little things, like four or five differences, but one would be, it'll break into point A Then laterally move to point B. Next thing you know, it's trying to break into point A again.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

就像无人机蜂群一样……但你也许能更好地协调和思考。

It's like I get the drone swarm- ... but you could probably coordinate it and think a little bit better.

Speaker 0

这就是目前的状况。

That's where it's at today.

Speaker 0

它会变得更好、更干净。

It'll get better and cleaner.

Speaker 0

但最大的区别是,AI能做的规模远超人类,甚至到了人类无法理解的程度。

But the differences are, first and foremost, the scale of what AI can do dwarfs humans, like in ways humans don't even get.

Speaker 0

所以这里有个规模的问题,人类通常只能找到一条进入网络的路径。

So you have a scaling problem in that humans could always find only one path into a network.

Speaker 2

对,他们必须有所选择——

Yeah, they had to be selective-

Speaker 0

没错。

You bet

Speaker 2

……因为他们得把有限的资源——

... because they had to devote their limited resources-

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes

Speaker 2

……投入到一条直接的路径上,对吧?

... to one direct path, right?

Speaker 0

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

所以,规模确实是个挑战。

And then, so scale is a challenge.

Speaker 0

速度,简直离谱。

Speed, ridiculous.

Speaker 0

AI一微秒能做的事,70个人都做不来。

What AI does in a microsecond would take 70 humans.

Speaker 0

他们根本做不到。

They can't even do it.

Speaker 0

这完全是两码事。

It's apples to oranges.

Speaker 0

而且,一直以来缺的就是AI的创造力——

And then, so what was always lacking is AI creative-

Speaker 0

或者说有效性。

... or effective.

Speaker 0

但就我们做的事情来说,我们不需要最花哨的模型。

But when it comes to what we do, we don't need the fanciest model.

Speaker 0

我们又不是要让模型去说400种语言什么的。

We're not trying to speak 400 languages with our models and all that kind of thing.

Speaker 0

Armadin在进攻方面做的事情是,我们在寻找漏洞和可利用的风险。

What Armadin's doing on offense is we're finding vulnerabilities, exploitable risk.

Speaker 0

那就是代码。

That is code.

Speaker 0

这是一种结构化语言,一个结构化的过程。

That's a structured language, a structured process.

Speaker 0

因为它是结构化的,AI会非常擅长这个。

Because it's structured, AI's gonna be great at it.

Speaker 0

所以我真的觉得这已经到来了,就像那个“让我们放慢模型发展的速度”的说法。

So I really think it's already here today, like the whole, "Let's slow down the models.

Speaker 0

我们不想要网络风险。”

We don't want cyber risk."

Speaker 0

太晚了。

Too late.

Speaker 0

开源模型已经足够好了,而且这些东西现在很普遍了。

The open models are already good enough, and these things are common now.

Speaker 0

只要GPU能匿名获取,犯罪攻击就会多得多。

It's just a matter of the minute you have anonymous availability of GPUs, you'll see far more criminal attacks.

Speaker 2

哦,有意思。

Oh, interesting.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 2

是的,当然明白。

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 0

除非你能匿名攻击,否则当人们知道你的名字时,犯罪就很难进行。

Until you can attack anonymously, and it's hard to do crime when people know your name.

Speaker 0

最好是——

It's better to-

Speaker 2

是的,当然。

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 0

如果你能匿名犯罪,我给你的建议是——

If you can commit a crime anonymously, here's my tip for criminals.

Speaker 0

如果你能匿名犯罪……那可比穿着印有你名字的球衣去干要聪明多了。

If you can commit a crime anonymously- ... that's a lot smarter than doing it with your jersey on, with your name on it.

Speaker 0

所以,总之,现在的攻击和我们看到的现状相比,我们正处于AI主导的攻击浪潮来临的前夜,虽然才刚开始(第一局),我认为这是因为目前这些模型的成本和获取渠道对犯罪分子来说还不够便利,不像未来那样唾手可得。

And so anyway, the difference in attacks and what we're seeing now, we are at the precipice, first inning still, of AI-led attacks coming, and I think that's just because of the cost and availability of the models is not as readily available to the criminal element as it will be in the future.

Speaker 0

没错,确实如此。

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 2

你在安全行业干了30年,应该见过不少国家级别的攻击吧——

So your experience in working in the security industry for 30 years, you probably saw a fair amount of nation state attacks-

Speaker 0

天天都有。

Every day.

Speaker 2

天天都有。

Every day.

Speaker 2

来聊聊国家级攻击和其他攻击之间的区别或相似之处,我说的这个——

So talk about the differences or similarities between nation state attacks, and I use that-

Speaker 2

……就说是最——

... just to say the most-

Speaker 0

完全同意

Totally

Speaker 2

……最复杂、最——

... sophisticated, most-

Speaker 2

……最成功的,如果你愿意这么说——

... most successful, if you will-

Speaker 2

……类型的攻击,跟今天的AI相比,然后你觉得AI在——

... types of attacks compared to AI today, and then where you think AI can be in-

Speaker 2

……几年后能达到什么水平。

... a couple of years.

Speaker 0

所以一切都会快速变化,对吧?

So everything's gonna change rapidly, right?

Speaker 0

但我可以告诉你,在我看来,进攻方的国家从来没有真正……

But I can tell you, nations on offense have never, in my opinion, they've never really been...

Speaker 0

当你为了间谍活动和国家安全目的进行黑客攻击时,你用的是一种我称之为狙击子弹的方式。

When you're hacking for espionage and for security reasons, you hack with what I would call kind of a sniper round.

Speaker 0

你不是在乱扫一气。

You're not spraying and praying.

Speaker 0

大多数情况下,现代国家在进攻时会限制目标,他们会深入攻击非常具体的目标,比如30家国防承包商或军事网站,然后集中火力猛攻。

For the most part, modern nations on offense restrict their targeting, and they go deep at very specific things, like 30 defense contractors or .mil, and they go hard at that.

Speaker 0

可以把它想象成那种狙击子弹。

Kind of think of it as that sniper round.

Speaker 0

有了AI,我觉得这更像是一群无人机。

With AI, I think it becomes more like a drone swarm.

Speaker 0

在网络领域,情况会变得有点不同,我觉得即使是现代国家也在思考:“我们的应对方案会是什么?

It becomes a little bit different in the cyber domain, and I think even modern nations are thinking, "What will our protocol be?

Speaker 0

如果我们想攻击这家公司,我们是派一群无人机去,还是直接烧掉大量令牌?”

If we want to attack this company, do we swarm it and just burn tokens on it?"

Speaker 0

因为AI会做很多人类根本不会去做的事情。

Because AI's gonna do a lot of things humans just wouldn't.

Speaker 0

所以它有点粗糙,有点吵,但更有效。

So it's a little sloppier, a little louder, but it's more effective.

Speaker 2

但它更全面。

But it's more comprehensive.

Speaker 0

对,这就是问题所在。

Yeah, that's the problem.

Speaker 2

就像那是——

Like that's-

Speaker 0

你说对了。

You got it.

Speaker 0

可能确实更有效。

It's more effective, probably.

Speaker 0

所以现在国家要考虑的事情太多了,随着AI的变革,他们的整个作战理论都会改变。

And so there's gonna be so many things a nation's got to think through right now, and their whole doctrine will shift as the AI shift change comes.

Speaker 0

比如,AI如何改变我们的任务?

Like, how does AI change what our mission is?

Speaker 0

我们会不会以不同的方式使用网络领域?

Do we maybe use the cyber domain differently?

Speaker 0

我们有时用无人机蜂群,有时用狙击手吗?

Do we drone swarm sometimes, snipe around other times?

Speaker 0

我们如何平衡这两者?

How do we balance the two?

Speaker 0

这取决于风险、目标,以及我们想要多隐蔽吗?

Does it depend on risk, target, how surreptitious we want to be?

Speaker 0

因为目前,AI在进攻上并不是一种隐蔽的行动——

Because right now, AI is not a surreptitious action on offense-

Speaker 0

……除非你做了大量的后期训练。

... unless you've done a ton of post-training.

Speaker 0

你可能需要有人参与其中,真正审视:“我们做的事情明智吗?”

You got a, maybe a human in the loop really looking at, "Are we doing smart things?"

Speaker 0

因为如果你只是说:“嘿,这里有个提示。”

Because if you just go, "Hey, here's a prompt.

Speaker 0

去黑掉abc.com,AI不会以隐蔽且聪明的方式去做。

Hack abc.com," AI's not gonna do it in a surreptitious and smart way.

Speaker 0

而且我觉得即使你让它去做,它还是不会——

And I think even if you ask it to, it's still not going to-

Speaker 0

直到它真正被训练过——

... till it's been really trained-

Speaker 2

对

Yep

Speaker 0

并且真的有人类的影响在里面。

... and really had some human influence on it.

Speaker 0

所以,但更普遍的是,你会看到能力较弱的攻击者,技术较差、成功率较低的,会显得成功得多。

So, but more generally, what you're gonna see is less capable attackers, less technical, less successful, are gonna appear way more successful.

Speaker 0

这就是平衡器,对吧?

It's the equalizer, right?

Speaker 2

是的,因为数量多。

Yeah, because of the volume.

Speaker 0

每次……

Every...

Speaker 0

当你开始使用模型,随着时间推移,在防御方面,我们会说:“我们正在被这些模型攻击,但我们不确定这些攻击背后是谁。”

When you start using models, over time what it's gonna be is on the defensive side, we're gonna say, "We're being attacked by these models, but we're not sure who's behind them, those attacks."

Speaker 0

是国家吗?

Is it a nation?

Speaker 0

是人吗?

Is it a human?

Speaker 0

还是……

Is it...

Speaker 0

我们会有一些线索,但归因会变得有点困难。

And we'll have some clue, but attribution will get a little difficult.

Speaker 0

所以这是一个冗长的回答,意思是说在人工智能时代,它确实让攻击受害网络的专业知识更加普及了。

So that's a long-winded answer saying in the AI age, it does democratize far greater expertise for attacking, uh, victim networks.

Speaker 2

那么这就很好地引回了Armadin的话题。

So then that is a good segue back to Armadin.

Speaker 2

所以,你之前说过,最好的防守就是强大的进攻,对吧?

So, you have talked about the defense needs to be a great offense, right?

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 2

就像最好的防守——

Like the best defense-

Speaker 0

总得拿点什么来训练你的防守。

Gotta train your defense with something.

Speaker 2

对,当然。

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 0

你明白吧?

You know?

Speaker 2

你得拿东西来练防守,而且还得持续不断地练。

You gotta train your defense with something, and then it needs to be continuous.

Speaker 0

你说得对。

You're right.

Speaker 2

那这个产品是怎么运作的,然后你怎么达到那种水平,

So how does the product work, and then how do you get-

Speaker 0

当然

Sure

Speaker 2

就是能够识别并修复这些漏洞的那种水平,就像你刚才描述的,

... a level of sophistication such that you can identify and remediate these vulnerabilities, like what you're describing-

Speaker 2

那些比基础提示更复杂的漏洞?

... that are more sophisticated than a basic prompt?

Speaker 0

好,这里有很多内容。

Okay, a lot there.

Speaker 0

我可以就这个话题讲上45分钟。

I could talk for 45 minutes on it.

Speaker 0

但首先,我可以告诉你这一点。

But first, I can tell you this.

Speaker 0

如果没有强大的进攻手段,你根本谈不上有防御。

You don't have a defense unless you have a great offense to go up against.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

就像,用体育来打比方,如果你想成为2000年的巴尔的摩乌鸦队那样的防守,你总得让练习时的进攻方好好逼你一把。

Like, so even think in sports terms, if you want to be the Baltimore Ravens defense of 2000, you kinda wanna have your practice offense really push you.

Speaker 0

你懂我的意思吧?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

这样你才知道自己有多强,而Armadin就是要做这件事。

So that you know how good you are, and that's what Armadin's gonna do.

Speaker 0

我们会像全明星进攻队一样来冲击你,让你用我们的打法来训练你的防守。

We're gonna be the all-star team on offense coming at you so you can train your defense with what we're doing.

Speaker 0

这一点很重要。

And that's gonna be important.

Speaker 0

而且在AI时代,战术自主防御真的没法靠人来实时干预。

And you can't really have a human in the loop in the AI age for tactical autonomous defense.

Speaker 0

你得快速反应才行。

Like, you gotta do something fast.

Speaker 0

你知道,你得赶紧给伤口上止血带。

You know, you gotta tourniquet the wounds as fast as you can.

Speaker 0

嗯,回想一下我们之前的讨论——你要能持续不断地处理,这就是复杂的地方。

Um, so- Thinking back to our-- You want to be able to do it continuously, and that's the complexity.

Speaker 0

所以我们做了一个叫超攻击的东西。

So we do a thing called a hyperattack.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

大卫,这话的意思就是,我们会派出一堆无人机智能体去攻击你,把你的网络、所有服务、每条路由、每个系统以及所有资产都摸个遍。

And David, that's just a fancy word for we throw a drone swarm of agents at you, and we map your network, every service, every route, every system, all assets.

Speaker 0

经过这一轮高强度攻击,我们可能会收集到你网络里海量的元数据。

We may end up with terabytes of metadata on your network from this hyperattack.

Speaker 0

整个过程速度极快。

Done super fast.

Speaker 0

你的网络会被瞬间暴露无遗。

Just it lights you up.

Speaker 0

这样一来,我们几乎就能看到你网络的元数据镜像了。

So that, that way, we can now, it's almost like a metadata twin of what we can see.

Speaker 0

如果我们从内部入手,也做同样的事情。

If we're on the inside, do the same thing.

Speaker 0

就是把所有东西都映射出来。

Let's just map everything.

Speaker 0

这就是攻击者的视角——

This is the attacker's view-

Speaker 0

——对你网络的视角。

... of your network.

Speaker 0

有了这些元数据,我们就像心跳一样持续监测你。

But with that metadata, we now just poll you almost like a heartbeat.

Speaker 0

有什么变化?

What's changed?

Speaker 0

有什么变化?

What's changed?

Speaker 0

它一直在持续监控,看有没有应用变化、路由变化、服务更新,或者有没有新机器出现在目标区域里。

That's continually looking for did an app change, did a route change, did a service get updated, did a new machine get presented into the target area?

Speaker 0

这样我们就能低成本地检测变化,然后针对变化发起攻击。

So that we can poll cheaply for change and then attack the change.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

在未来AI时代,你真正想要的是模型持续不断地攻击你,但你不可能一直这么做,因为——

What you really want in the future, in the AI age, is you want the constant pressure of models attacking you, but you can't do it all the time because-

Speaker 2

是的。

Yes

Speaker 0

……第一,成本太高;第二,也没必要。

... A, it's cost-prohibitive, but B, it's unnecessary.

Speaker 0

你只在两种情况下做:要么威胁变了,比如新模型出来了,有新情报了;要么你的网络变了,你想测试一下变化后的情况。

You do it when either the threat changes, hey, new models come out, new intelligence is available, or B, your network changes, so you want to test whether that happens.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

然后第三点,你可能就是想测试一下,比如我们明天有个董事会,看看我们表现如何。

And then C, you probably just want to test, we have a board meeting tomorrow, let's see how we do.

Speaker 2

对,没错。

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 0

你懂我的意思吧?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

让我们自我审查一下,看看我们目前的情况。

Let's audit ourselves and see where we're at.

Speaker 0

这就是我们周末做的事情。

And that's what we had over the weekend.

Speaker 0

周末的时候,一个热门产品出现了零日漏洞,我们立刻就有了心跳检测。

There was a zero-day in a popular product, and immediately, we've already got the heartbeat.

Speaker 0

我们只是轮询了一下谁有问题。

We just polled who's got the problem.

Speaker 0

我们在Armadin的目标是,从常见漏洞(CVE)到判断它是否可被利用,要比坏人更快一步。

And our goal at Armadin is to go from common vulnerability, or CVE, to we can find if it's exploitable or not before bad guys can.

Speaker 0

而且并不是所有的漏洞都能让人稳定地访问你的系统。

And not all bugs allow for human access to your system in a stable way.

Speaker 0

所以不是所有漏洞都一样,对吧?

So not all bugs are created equal, right?

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

所以我们想确认一下,哪些是你真正需要担心的,或者哪些根本不会导致远程命令执行。

And so we want to make sure, hey, this one's one you really need to worry about, or which ones don't give remote command execution.

Speaker 0

所以长话短说,这种超攻击以及我们获取的元数据,让我们能够轮询变化,并在你的网络发生变化时发起攻击。

So long story made short, that hyperattack, that metadata that we get allows us to poll for change and attack you when your network changes.

Speaker 0

这就是在持续监控方面能做到的最好效果了。

And that's the best you can do for continual.

Speaker 0

我们会做得越来越好,而且轮询的成本也会逐渐降低。

And we'll get better and better at it, and the cost for the polling will go down.

Speaker 0

在小规模网络上,成本并不高;但在一个经常变动且规模很大的网络中,为了确保没有暴露窗口,你可能需要频繁地进行轮询。

On small networks, it doesn't cost much, but on a network that changes all the time and is very large, you'd be polling it quite a bit to make sure you don't have an exposure window.

Speaker 2

是的,当然。

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 2

所以这其实是一个非常好的解释——

So that is actually a very good explanation-

Speaker 2

……说明为什么这种持续性的方法很重要。

... for why this continuous approach matters.

Speaker 2

太有意思了。

It's so fun.

Speaker 2

你和我都认同——

You and I share-

Speaker 0

嗯,你已经面临这个问题了。

Well, you're already up against it.

Speaker 0

在某个地方,犯罪分子总是会进行随机扫描,而且他们可能甚至没有用人工智能。

Somewhere out there, the criminal element will always have that random scanning, and they probably aren't even using AI for it.

Speaker 0

他们有一个自认为有效的漏洞,然后就在全球范围内扫描,找到可利用的风险就发起攻击。

They've got one exploit that they think works, and they're just scanning the world for it and then coming at the exploitable risk.

Speaker 0

所以你的网络已经受到来自看不见的、不怀好意的力量的攻击了。

And so you're already getting some pressure on your network from an unseen force that's not well-intentioned.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

所以不如让好人这边也建立一支更强的力量,不断给你施加压力。

So you might as well have a better force built by the good guys constantly putting pressure on you.

Speaker 2

这很有意思。

It's interesting.

Speaker 2

所以,Armadin,大概一年前,你可能会被归类为渗透测试那一类。

So you would kind of, Armadin, I don't know, a year ago, would probably be placed in the category of pen testing.

Speaker 2

你和我和George都有交情,

And you and I share history and a relationship with George-

Speaker 2

就是CrowdStrike的George。

... at CrowdStrike.

Speaker 2

他们很有名地把这个类别从杀毒软件重新定义为EDR。

And so they famously redefined the category from AV to EDR.

Speaker 2

当然,他们做到了——

And of course, they did it-

Speaker 2

……非常了不起的事情。

... incredible things.

Speaker 0

确实。

Sure.

Speaker 2

但重新定义这个类别——

But the category redefinition-

Speaker 2

……

...

Speaker 2

是建立在重大的基础设施变革——

was on the back of major infrastructure changes-

Speaker 2

……和产品变革之上的。

... and product changes.

Speaker 2

这让他们创造了一个更宏大、更广阔的品类——

And allowed them to create a product category that was far greater and bigger-

Speaker 2

比传统音视频安全要大得多。

... than AV.

Speaker 2

咱们聊聊渗透测试。

Talk about pen testing.

Speaker 2

大家怎么看渗透测试的历史?为什么它不是未来的方向?

What is the historical view of pen testing and why that's not what the future is?

Speaker 0

主要有两点。

A couple of things.

Speaker 0

你非得这么做,对吧?

You had to do it, right?

Speaker 0

就像第一代AV一样,你必须得买AV。

It was like first-gen AV, you have to buy AV.

Speaker 0

我觉得你看Armadine的话,我们会像AV一样无处不在,因为你必须得有AI的防护盾,进攻端训练AI,防守端也用AI。

And I think when you look at Armadin, we will be as ubiquitous as AV because you have to have that AI force field of AI on offense training AI on defense.

Speaker 0

你非做不可,而且你也做得来,那干嘛不做呢?

You have to do it, and you can do it, so why wouldn't you?

Speaker 0

所以你看,在我看来,渗透测试其实就是扫描那些已知的东西,它并不能证明你的系统到底能不能被真正利用。

And so you look at that, and pen testing to me is always just scanning for what's already known, and it doesn't prove whether you're really exploitable or not.

Speaker 0

所以它总是列出一大堆其实并不重要的漏洞。

So it's always created a larger list of vulns that don't matter.

Speaker 0

所以我们想在 Armadin 采用的方式是,直接实际执行攻击。

And so the way we wanted to do it at Armadin was we actually can carry the exploit out.

Speaker 0

我们会进行验证,所以不存在误报的情况。

We verify, so there's no false positives.

Speaker 0

我们可以实现远程代码执行,或者从那台机器上窃取数据。

We can get remote code execution or get data off of that machine.

Speaker 0

很多渗透测试其实就是对你的基础设施进行攻击,而不是用那种能记忆并了解你基础设施的智能学习技术,比如像AI代理那样。

And a lot of pen tests are nothing but hit your infrastructure, not with a thinking, learning technology that memorizes and knows your infrastructure like an AI agent can.

Speaker 0

所以它不会去针对定制应用进行测试。

So it's not going to do custom apps.

Speaker 0

至少以前的那些渗透测试工具,像Tenable、Rapid7和Qualys,更多是做一些基础的安全合规检查。

At least the old versions of pen testing, the Tenable, the Rapid7, the Qualys, was more a hygiene sort of thing.

Speaker 0

我外面有什么,哪些服务暴露了,这些服务有没有已知的CVE或者已知的可利用漏洞?

What do I have out there, and what services are exposed, and are there CVEs available against those services or known exploitable vulns against them?

Speaker 0

当使用基于AI的攻击时,它会发现自定义应用中的逻辑缺陷,而不是代码缺陷。

When you have an AI-based attack, it'll find logic flaws rather than code flaws in custom applications.

Speaker 0

它会一直穷尽所有路径。

It'll exhaust all routes all the time.

Speaker 0

我只能告诉你,Armadin从今年一月,也就是2026年,我们在客户现场发现了超过90个零日漏洞,全部都在生产环境中,而且——

And all I can tell you is Armadin, since January of this year, 2026, we have found over 90 zero-days at customer sites, all in production, and-

Speaker 2

顺便说一句,你的客户群是不是像——

And by the way, your customer base is like-

Speaker 0

他们很高兴我们比其他人先发现了这些漏洞。

They're happy we found them before someone else did

Speaker 2

……而且他们是不是像《财富》……

... and they're like Fortune...

Speaker 2

这不是像——

This is not like-

Speaker 2

不是什么小打小闹的公司。

... rinky-dink companies.

Speaker 2

这些可都是世界五百强级别的公司。

These are like Fortune 500 companies.

Speaker 0

对,我这么说不是要制造恐慌、不确定性和疑虑,但区别在于,我们训练了我们的模型,我们对所有模型都进行了后训练,用的都是真正的红队成员,真正能开发漏洞利用的人。

Yeah, and I don't mean that as fear, uncertainty, and doubt, but the difference is that we've trained our models, we've post-trained all our models with real Red teamers, real folks that actually can develop exploits.

Speaker 0

这一点很重要。

And that's important.

Speaker 0

所以当我们扫描网络时,我们并没有源代码可以审查。

And so when we're scanning networks, we don't have source code to review.

Speaker 0

我们不是靠源代码发现这些零日漏洞的。

We're not finding these zero-days with source code.

Speaker 0

我们也不是因为能登录某个应用、有了访问权限、然后能接触到其他东西才找到这些零日漏洞的。

We're not finding these zero-days because we can log into an app, and now we have access, and we can get to other things.

Speaker 0

我们是完全黑盒,从互联网上直接发现了主要软件公司里的90多个零日漏洞,而他们对此非常感激。

We are black box coming from the internet over 90 zero-days in major software companies, and they're thankful.

Speaker 0

所以大家都觉得,哇,Mythos出来了,能扫描源代码并找出漏洞,还能找到成千上万个。

And so everybody's like, "Wow, Mythos came out, and you can scan source code and find vulnerabilities, and you find thousands of them."

Speaker 0

那都是噪音。

That's noise.

Speaker 2

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

我们从外部发起攻击,然后在48小时内联系首席信息安全官,说:嘿,你们的DMZ里有远程代码执行漏洞。

We're coming from the outside, and then we're calling a CISO, usually within 48 hours, "Hey, we've got remote code execution in your DMZ."

Speaker 0

通常到了这一步,我们就能成功进去了。

And usually from there, we're getting in.

Speaker 0

他们也认可我们的说法。

And they agree with us.

Speaker 0

比较麻烦的是修复环节,难度稍大、耗时也更长,不过这些公司会立刻进入应急响应状态。

And the nice thing is we're going through the fix side's a little bit harder, takes a little bit longer, but those companies go right into incident mode.

Speaker 2

没错。

Yes.

展开剩余字幕(还有 480 条)
Speaker 0

他们的反应就像真的发生了安全事件一样。

They respond as if it's an incident.

Speaker 0

这可不是一次普通的渗透测试。

And that's not a pen test.

Speaker 0

这是真正的对手在向你发起攻击。

That is a real adversary coming at you.

Speaker 0

在我看来,红队演练和渗透测试的区别在于,渗透测试更像是一种基础的安全检查步骤。

And the difference between red teaming and pen testing is pen test, to me, is a hygiene step.

Speaker 0

我觉得随着时间的推移,如果条件允许的话,大家都会一直进行红队演练。

And I think over time, everybody would've red teamed everything all the time if they could.

Speaker 0

之前因为成本太高、人力不足,根本做不到。

It was cost-prohibitive and people-prohibitive.

Speaker 0

现在有了AI和智能体来执行,或者说在我们这个案例里,我们有各种不同类型的智能体各司其职,所以现在完全可以做到这一点。

With AI and an agent doing it, or in our case, we have lots of different types of agents doing different things, you can now do that.

Speaker 0

所以我认为,久而久之,它会取代渗透测试。

So I think it'll replace pen testing over time.

Speaker 0

那只是红队攻击你时会做的一小部分。

That's a small portion of what a red team coming at you would do.

Speaker 2

你之前提到过,显然那是Armadin Red。

So you mentioned earlier, obviously, that's Armadin Red.

Speaker 2

你还提到了Armadin Blue。

You mentioned Armadin Blue.

Speaker 2

说说Armadin Blue吧。

Talk about Armadin Blue.

Speaker 0

Armadin Blue就像,我们不能,David,直接出现然后说:"嘿,你有漏洞。"

The Armadin Blue is like, we can't, David, just show up and say, "Hey, you're vulnerable.

Speaker 0

"回头见。"

See you later."

Speaker 0

而且,每个CISO的终极目标应该是有效的自主响应。

And, hey, the true north for every CISO should be effective autonomous response.

Speaker 0

我们必须建立这个。

We got to build that.

Speaker 0

我们一直都知道,你不能只是说“嘿”。

And we knew all along you can't just say, "Hey."

Speaker 0

我们想成为全球最擅长发现可利用风险的公司。

We want to be the best in the world at finding exploitable risk.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

这是第一个目标。

That's goal number one.

Speaker 0

但第二个目标,就是成为全球最擅长应对这些风险的公司。

But then goal number two, and be the best in the world at doing something about it.

Speaker 0

这就意味着Armadin Blue。

And that means Armadin Blue.

Speaker 0

Armadin Blue会获取关于可利用风险的信息,并与防御层合作,无论是终端EDR还是防火墙,快速创建补偿性控制措施。

And Armadin Blue will be take the information about exploitable risk and work with the defense plane, whether it be endpoint EDR or firewalls, and create compensating controls at speed.

Speaker 2

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

所以如果我们比其他人早五分钟发现攻击,你就已经受到保护了。

So that if we find an attack five minutes before someone else using a model finds an attack, you're already safeguarded.

Speaker 0

这些防护措施一开始可能会比较简单,甚至可能刚推出时就是这样。

And these safeguards are going to be rudimentary, potentially out of the gates-

Speaker 2

对。

Yep

Speaker 0

……在接下来的几个月里。

... over the next few months.

Speaker 0

一年后,它们就会很成熟了。

A year from now, they're just going to be there.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

因为整个网络安全领域发展得太快了,不管好坏,你都得进行自主防御。

Because the whole cyber domain is progressing at a speed where you're going to have to defend autonomously, for better or for worse.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

我宁愿用一个不太完美的补丁挡住坏人,也不愿意被入侵。

I'd rather have a bad patch stopping a bad guy from getting in than have an intrusion.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

所以你得在两害相权中取其轻,而其中一个要好处理得多。

And so you got to take your lesser of two things, and one's much more manageable.

Speaker 0

你绝对不希望一个陌生人随意访问你的网络。

You never want an unknown person with arbitrary access on your network.

Speaker 2

对。

Yes.

Speaker 2

非常——

Very-

Speaker 0

所以你要想尽一切办法去阻止这种情况。

And so you want to prevent that any way you can.

Speaker 0

我觉得第一代产品我们正在和CrowdStrike合作开发,他们也知道这东西必须存在。

And I would say the first generation is we're working with CrowdStrike on it, and they know it has to exist.

Speaker 0

我们正在和Palo Alto Networks合作。

We're working with PAN on it.

Speaker 0

他们很清楚这项技术必须存在。

They know that it has to exist.

Speaker 0

他们也希望能全面迈入AI时代,实现自主防御。

They want to all shift into the AI age with autonomous defense as well.

Speaker 0

所以我们需要给这些防御平台,比如Fortinet和其他厂商提供指导,告诉它们具体该怎么做。

And so we need to inform those defense platforms, the Fortinets and everybody else, "Here's what you can do about it."

Speaker 0

我把它比作战场上的紧急包扎。

And I likened it to field dressing in war.

Speaker 0

有人中枪了,你给他简单处理一下,但这可不是去医院。

Someone gets shot, you patch it up, but that's not the hospital.

Speaker 0

这相当于说:嘿,我们止住血了。

That's a, "Hey, we stopped the bleeding."

Speaker 0

但接下来你可能需要投入更多时间、人力,甚至在未来采用更智能的自动化方式来进一步处理。

But then you got to maybe do something else with more time and humans, potentially, or even agentic approach to it down the road.

Speaker 0

所以你会看到这种情况发生,即使……如果你是CISO,即使你不要求,你也会看到自主防御的出现——

So you're going to see it happen even in... If you're a CISO, you're going to see autonomous defense happen even if you don't ask for it-

Speaker 0

……因为你已经投资了那些防御平台。

... because of the defensive platforms you've already invested in.

Speaker 2

你之前提到过……网络安全内部不同类别之间的界限变得模糊。

You mentioned earlier- ... some of the blurring of the lines of different categories within cyber.

Speaker 0

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 2

我觉得你开玩笑说,你以前的日子,你那30——

And I think you joked that your old days, your 30-

Speaker 2

……年的经验已经过时了,或者没用了,或者类似的话。

... years of experience is out the window or irrelevant or something like that.

Speaker 2

那么SOC的未来是什么,然后——

What is the future of the SOC, and then-

Speaker 0

好的。

Okay

Speaker 2

那网络安全里的各个类别是怎么融合或者变化的呢?

... how do the categories within cyber blend together or change?

Speaker 0

如果我是CISO,我确实相信我的终极目标是有效的自主安全。

If I'm a CISO, I do believe my true north is effective autonomous security.

Speaker 0

你想让你最优秀的人保持投入。

You want to keep your best people engaged.

Speaker 0

你想自动化那些对你的组织有效的流程。

You want to automate the processes that work for your organization.

Speaker 0

但你绝对在问:“在AI时代,什么能存活下来,什么不能?”

But you are absolutely saying, "What survives in the AI age and what doesn't?"

Speaker 0

我觉得我们还在摸索这个过程中。

And I think we're still working through that process.

Speaker 0

我认为SOC里有很多流程会直接消失,而且不管出于什么原因,我们现在正在自动化它们。

I think there's whole processes in the SOC that'll just go away, and for whatever reason, we're automating them right now.

Speaker 0

随着时间的推移,我可以告诉你这一点。

Over time, I can tell you this.

Speaker 0

如果检测和响应环节还靠人来参与,那速度肯定跟不上。

If you have humans in the detect-and-respond loop, you're going to be too slow.

Speaker 2

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吧?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

这样根本行不通。

It's just not going to work well.

Speaker 0

所以有预防、检测和响应这几个环节。

So you have prevent, detect, respond.

Speaker 0

预防会由AI来主导,检测和响应也会由AI来完成。

Prevent's going to be governed by AI, and detect and respond is going to be done by AI.

Speaker 0

网络安全的目标一直都是预防为主。

And the goal in cybersecurity has always been, you want to prevent.

Speaker 2

是的,那当然。

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

你不想去检测和响应。

You don't want to detect and respond.

Speaker 0

所以我看到每个阶段的窗口都在不断缩小,到最后我们真的做不了多少检测和响应,因为那个窗口已经——

So I just see the constant narrowing of the window of every phase to the point where we're really not doing a lot of detection and response because the window to do it-

Speaker 2

一切都发生得太快了。

It all happens too fast

Speaker 0

——几乎……

... is almost...

Speaker 0

你说得对。

You got it.

Speaker 0

确实有点太快了。

It's a little bit too fast.

Speaker 0

但你还是得有一定程度的层层防御,系统之间相互备份,并且假设某个环节会出问题。

But you still got to have that onion peel to some extent of systems backing up systems and assuming failure somewhere.

Speaker 0

就算阿玛丁造出了力场,迟早也会有人绕过它。

Even Armadin creating the force field, sooner or later, somebody's going to get around it.

Speaker 0

总会有人在我们发现之前找到漏洞,不管用什么方式,在某个我们还没评估过的平台或应用上。

Someone's going to create an exploit before we find it, somehow, some way, on a platform or an app that we just haven't assessed yet.

Speaker 0

它还没在客户现场投入生产。

It hasn't been in production at a customer site.

Speaker 0

所以我们还没检查过,结果别人先发现了。

And so we haven't looked at it, and someone else finds it.

Speaker 0

一旦他们这么做了,你就会希望后面有个陷阱,说:'我们检测到了未经授权或非法的系统访问。'

And when they do that, you will want to have a trap behind saying, "We've got unauthorized access or unlawful access to a system."

Speaker 0

这些陷阱是……

Those traps are...

Speaker 0

你不可能靠人工来盯。

You just can't have a human there.

Speaker 0

因为我们在阿玛丁已经这么干过了。

Because we've already done it at Armadin.

Speaker 0

当我们攻进去,并且拥有具备代理感知能力的内部指挥控制时,它的扩散速度快得惊人。

When we break in and have agentic-aware internal command and control, it proliferates at a speed that is shocking.

Speaker 0

我记得作为人类,你在键盘上打字说:“我想用这个口令从这里横向移动到那里。”

I remember as a human, you're typing on your keyboard, "I want to go laterally move with this passphrase from here to here."

Speaker 0

而你动作很慢,一次只能做一件事。

And you're so slow, and you're doing one thing at a time.

Speaker 0

而这东西能同时做一千件事。

This thing just does a thousand things at once.

Speaker 0

它无处不在,你会觉得:“哇,好了,完成了。”

It's just everywhere, and you're like, "Whoa, okay, done.

Speaker 0

应用已经启动了。

Got the app up."

Speaker 2

所以,这个过程每一步——

So, each one of those steps of the process-

Speaker 2

都必须自动化。

... has to be automated.

Speaker 2

不能有人在中间插手。

It can't be a human in the loop.

Speaker 0

情况就是这么糟糕。

It's as bad as this.

Speaker 0

我没什么特别好的比喻。

I don't have great analogies.

Speaker 0

就像气球突然爆了。

It's like the balloon popped.

Speaker 0

有人一进来,就像“噗”的一下,人就不见了。

Someone gets in, it's just like, pff, they're gone.

Speaker 2

没了。

It's gone.

Speaker 0

你整个防御体系一下子就崩了。

Your whole defense apparatus just popped.

Speaker 0

所以你得把预防做好,然后一旦检测到问题,立刻封锁,不管用什么方式应对。

So you got to get prevention right, and then an immediate lockdown on detect and respond, however you want.

Speaker 0

而且这几个阶段之间总是存在模糊地带,因为有人会说,如果你能自动且快速地检测并响应,那就算作预防。

And there's always gray areas between those phases because people say if you detect and respond automatically and fast, that is prevention.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

所以一切都会发生改变。

So all of it's going to change.

Speaker 0

每位首席信息安全官都在审视这一点,每个供应商也在评估自己在向AI转型中的角色。

Every CISO's examining it, every vendor's examining their role in changing into the AI shift.

Speaker 0

所以一切现在都要变了,但我没法确切告诉你具体会怎么变。

And so it's going to all change now, but I can't tell you if anyone's positive on how it changes.

Speaker 0

他们正在审视自己的员工队伍、人员编制和业务流程,也就是说首席信息安全官们也在这么做,他们在问自己:"在新时代,我需要变成什么样?"

They're examining their workforce, they're examining their headcount, they're examining their processes, meaning the CISOs are, and they're saying, "What do I need to look like in the modern era?"

Speaker 0

但现在下结论还为时过早。

But it's too soon to tell where it lands.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 2

所以现在说他们长什么样、他们的防御体系什么样,还为时过早。

So too soon to tell what they look like, what their defense-

Speaker 2

……防御体系长什么样。

... apparatus looks like.

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 2

所以你有一批财富500强的客户。

So you have a bunch of Fortune 500 customers.

Speaker 2

你和其他很多公司关系密切——

You're close with a bunch of others-

Speaker 2

……那些不是客户的公司。

... that are not customers.

Speaker 2

他们现在的漏洞状况如何?

What is the state of their vulnerability today?

Speaker 0

正在迅速缩小。

Rapidly shrinking.

Speaker 0

每个人都很担心。

Everybody's worried.

Speaker 0

顺便说一句,现在双方都有一种紧迫感。

There's a desperation in the moment in both directions, by the way.

Speaker 0

如果你在伊朗或俄罗斯处于进攻方,你会急于趁现在赶紧行动。

If you're on offense in Iran or Russia, you have a desperation in a moment of get in now.

Speaker 2

对,趁现在赶紧——

Yeah, get it before-

Speaker 0

趁现在赶紧,趁你——

Get in now while you-

Speaker 2

趁安全措施还在的时候

... the security is in place

Speaker 0

还能行动的时候。

... can.

Speaker 0

你说得对。

You got it.

Speaker 0

然后如果你是防守方,你会急着去修补每一个漏洞。

And then if you're on defense, you're desperate to patch every window.

Speaker 0

公平地说,双方的这种紧迫感都是有道理的。

And in fairness, both sides are accurate in their desperation.

Speaker 0

因为在AI时代,短期内进攻方确实占优势。

Because we have near-term pain in the AI age that it advantages offense.

Speaker 2

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

所以这没问题。

So that's fine.

Speaker 0

这就是它的本质。

That's just the nature of it.

Speaker 0

但双方都明白这是为了长远的利益。

But both sides recognize it's for long-term gain.

Speaker 2

是的。

Yep.

Speaker 0

也就是说,由攻击方AI训练、具备自主能力的防御型AI,在检测数据包方面会比人工盯屏幕做得好得多,也细致得多。

Meaning AI on defense, being trained by AI on offense, and being autonomous, is going to do a far better, more diligent job than humans peering at packets.

Speaker 0

所以我们现在正处在一段所谓的‘暴露窗口期’,大家都面临风险,都在拼命补救。

And so we're just going through the window of exposure, let's call it, where everyone's at risk on defense, and they're all hustling.

Speaker 0

我亲眼看到每家公司都在投入极其强大的努力,而且据我所知,没有哪家大型A轮企业不在实时扫描漏洞并采取措施应对。

I've seen incredibly powerful efforts at every company right now, and I'm not aware of any large 1A enterprise not actively scanning for exposure and doing something about it in real-time.

Speaker 0

有意思的是,David,这简直成了团队作战。

And what's interesting, David, is it's team ball everywhere.

Speaker 0

首席信息官、首席信息安全官、产品团队和业务线都像是发现了什么大事,整个公司就像进入了战时指挥状态。

The CIO, the CISO, the product teams, the business lines are all like, "Okay, we found something," and it's almost war roomed.

Speaker 0

大家都觉得必须赶紧把这个漏洞补上。

Like, "We got to go fix this."

Speaker 0

参与进来的团队范围其实挺广的。

And the composite of those teams are pretty broad.

Speaker 0

所以接下来这一年恐怕都不会太平静。

So there's no way to make the next year pretty.

Speaker 0

这么说最贴切了。

That's the best way to say it.

Speaker 2

对,没错。

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 0

你懂我的意思吧?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

现在外面就像个派对,数字派对,大家都在拼命往前冲。

It's a cocktail party out there right now, digital cocktail party, and everybody's in a race.

Speaker 2

是的。

Yep.

Speaker 2

我们最厉害的一家公司告诉我们,他们抽调了很大一部分工程师和研发人员,专门用来加固自己的防线。

One of our most sophisticated companies told us they took a large percentage of their engineers and research organizations and just devoted it toward fortifying their own walls.

Speaker 2

那感觉就像全员上阵。

Which it was like an all hands on deck.

Speaker 0

是的。

Yep.

Speaker 2

而且最近警钟才开始敲响。

And the alarm bells started ringing very recently.

Speaker 2

这是——

This is-

Speaker 2

……就在最近几个月,对吧?

... within the last few months, right?

Speaker 0

我觉得Mythos是最大的那个。

I think Mythos was the biggest.

Speaker 0

我们在Mythos之前很久就预见到了,但从营销角度来看,Mythos这个时刻让所有人都意识到:“好吧,威胁变了。”

We saw it coming long before Mythos, but the Mythos moment, from a marketing standpoint, got everybody to go, "Okay, threat's changed."

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

很多人说,Mythos出来之后,要找出我们自己软件里的漏洞,如果你在做软件安全认证,你就必须这么做。

And a lot of people said, Mythos came out, find vulnerabilities in our own software, and you have to do that if you're doing software security attestation.

Speaker 2

当然。

Of course.

Speaker 0

所以所有供应商都赶紧去做了这件事。

So all the vendors ran out and did that.

Speaker 0

但我对Mythos的回应是,它让AI攻击这件事变得广为人知。

But the way I respond to Mythos is that just made it very well known about AI on offense coming at you.

Speaker 0

我觉得这就是加速的原因。

And I think that's what accelerated it.

Speaker 0

那基本上算是板上钉钉了。

That was pretty much a firm stamp.

Speaker 0

它要来了。

It's coming.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 2

那Hugging Face事件呢?

What about the Hugging Face incident?

Speaker 2

我想请你谈谈那个——

I'd love for you to talk about the-

Speaker 0

你知道——

You know-

Speaker 2

……从中学到的教训

... learnings from that

Speaker 0

……

...

Speaker 0

这个问题我想了很多。

I've given that a lot of thought.

Speaker 0

我敢肯定在OpenAI,他们会说:“哦,我们本来在常规水平。”

I'm certain at OpenAI, they're like, "Oh, we're at a regular."

Speaker 0

他们会说:“哦,我们本来可以这样做那样做,就不会发生了。”

They were like, "Oh, we could've done this and this, and it wouldn't have happened."

Speaker 0

你懂我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

所以他们已经想明白了。

So they've already figured it out.

Speaker 0

根据我的经验,在每一次技术模式转变中,我们都低估了对手的能力,而这次我们低估了模型的能力,因为当你事后仔细阅读时,啊,他们本可以阻止那件事的。

It's been my experience, in every technical modality shift, we underestimate the adversary's capability, and in this case, we underestimated the model's capability because when you really read it post-facto, ah, they could've stopped that.

Speaker 0

他们本可以加上护栏,一些确定性的措施,我觉得他们现在意识到了这一点。

And they could've put guardrails on it, some deterministic things, and I think they realize that now.

Speaker 0

但我觉得当你处于竞赛中时,这几乎就像一场登月竞赛,对吧?

But I think when you're in a race, it's almost like a lunar landing race, right?

Speaker 0

人工智能竞赛。

The AI race.

Speaker 0

你有研发人员,他们在努力创造模型,以至于连那些CEO都说:“我们不能放慢速度。

And you have R&D people, and they're doing the work to create models in a way where even those CEOs are like, "We can't slow it.

Speaker 0

让政府帮我们放慢速度吧。”

Let's get the government to help us slow it."

Speaker 0

这意味着你甚至无法控制自己的创新,对吧?

That means you can't even control your own innovation, right?

Speaker 2

我对此有看法,但我们——

I have views on that, but we-

Speaker 2

……可以改天再聊。

... could take it another time.

Speaker 0

这个我理解。

And I get that.

Speaker 0

研发人员都在追求创新,很难把他们和有经验的安全人员搭配在一起,让后者有能力去控制那个东西。

R&D people are chasing that innovation, and it's really hard to package them within experienced security people that have the skill sets to cage that thing.

Speaker 0

而且这两类人很难配合,因为安全人员对AI了解不够,而AI人员又没意识到……我们在自己的模型里做的一件事,毫不夸张地说,Armadin已经造出了我们大家都担心的那个怪物。

And it's hard to marry those two up because the security people don't understand the AI as well, and the AI people don't realize... One of the things that we did in our model, make no mistake, Armadin has made the beast that we're all worried about.

Speaker 0

我们造出了一个会攻击的模型。

We've made a model that attacks.

Speaker 0

我们造了很多个。

We made many of them.

Speaker 0

我们有一个系统,能攻击生产网络,而且成功率很高。

We have a system that attacks production networks and is highly successful breaking in.

Speaker 0

那,它安全吗?

Well, is it safe?

Speaker 0

我们的人本能地知道,显然,我们得有一个安全的,我们得有一个虚拟机监视器。

Well, our guys instinctively knew we got to have, obviously, a secure, we got to have a hypervisor.

Speaker 0

我们得把这个东西保护好。

We got to secure this thing.

Speaker 0

我们得在主机层面把它锁死。

We got to lock it down host-based.

Speaker 0

我们得有一个代理。

We have to have a proxy.

Speaker 0

它知道代理。

It knows the proxy.

Speaker 0

它支持代理。

It's proxy-aware.

Speaker 0

那没问题。

That's fine.

Speaker 0

但后来我们的人做了一件事,连我都觉得,干得漂亮。

But then our guys did something, and even I was like, "Nice job."

Speaker 0

他们会被动地、偷偷地查看每一个完成的提示。

They passively, surreptitiously look at every single prompt done.

Speaker 0

我们喜欢吗?

Do we like it?

Speaker 0

我们不喜欢吗?

Do we not like it?

Speaker 0

而且大多数情况下,如果我们终止一个代理,很可能跟安全无关。

And the majority of the time, if we kill an agent, it's probably nothing to do with safety.

Speaker 0

而是因为那个代理在浪费钱。

It's that the agent's wasting money.

Speaker 0

你懂我的意思吧?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 2

对,有道理。

Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 0

那就终止它。

So kill it.

Speaker 0

它跑去干我们早就做过或者根本不想做的事了。

It's off on a goose chase we've already done or don't want to do.

Speaker 0

但当时有很多层验证,确保代理在做正确的事。

But there were so many layers of validation that the agent was doing the right thing.

Speaker 0

另外一点是——假设你的每一层安全措施都会失效,你必须要有确定性的规则来排除某些活动。

And the other thing was- Assume every layer of your security will fail, and you have to have deterministic rules that eliminate certain activities.

Speaker 0

但我从那些事件中学到的是,要保护在特定领域运行的代理,确实需要领域专业知识。

But what I did learn, reading those incidents, it does take domain expertise to secure agents behaving in certain domains.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 2

是的,这很棒——

Yeah, it's a great-

Speaker 0

所以我理解这一点。

So I get that.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

所以,如果没有一个——

So, without a-

Speaker 2

这很有验证性。

It's validating.

Speaker 2

显然很有验证性。

Obviously validating

Speaker 0

……网络安全的背景,我理解你怎么会去测试某个东西,然后发现“哦,没想到这一点。”

... cyber background, I get how you're going to test something and go, "Oh, didn't think of that."

Speaker 2

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

而且你得有一个经验丰富的团队来审视这些评估,然后说:“你知道吗?

And you would've had to have an experienced team look at what the evals looked like to say, "You know what?

Speaker 0

它会做这个,还会做那个。”

It's going to do this, and it's going to do that."

Speaker 0

所以这就是为什么在Armadin,我们把漏洞利用专家和红队成员与AI人员结合起来,因为我们的评估大多数时候是由红队成员制定的。

So that's why at Armadin, we combine the exploit developer types and red teamers with the AI folks because our evals, most of the time, are made by the red teamers.

Speaker 0

你懂我的意思吧?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

他们才是真正懂这些的人。

They're the ones that understand this stuff.

Speaker 0

我们在Armadin创建了20条完整的攻击链,这些都是在真实世界中人类已经实施过的,而且我们的资深操作员在测试网络时也实际执行过。

And we created 20 full kill chains at Armadin that humans have done in the real world, period, at different victim sites and our experienced operators have done when testing networks.

Speaker 0

结果没有哪个模型能完整走完超过八条攻击链。

And we had no model go through the entire kill chains of more than eight.

Speaker 0

所以这就是……

So that's where-

Speaker 0

20条里只有8条。

It was eight out of 20.

Speaker 2

这很安全,对。

This is safe, yeah.

Speaker 0

顺便说,奇怪的地方在这里。

And here is what's weird, by the way.

Speaker 0

我们测试了开源模型和最先进的闭源模型,它们都找到了八个。

We tested the open-weight ones and the most advanced closed models, and they all found eight.

Speaker 2

真的吗?

Really?

Speaker 0

是的,所以关键就在于速度和成本。

Yeah, so it was all about just speed and cost.

Speaker 2

对,当然,是的。

Yeah, of course, yeah.

Speaker 0

闭源模型在发现可利用风险方面更快,但差距正在缩小。

And the closed models were faster to finding exploitable risk, but that's coming down.

Speaker 0

但我们让开源模型运行更长时间,它们也达到了同样的结果。

But we let the open models run longer, and they got to the same place.

Speaker 2

这很有意思。

That's interesting.

Speaker 0

所以,在网络领域,闭源和开源之间的差异可能没有其他领域那么大。

So, in the cyber world, the differentiation between closed and open is not as great as in other domains, probably.

Speaker 2

而且它被压缩了,是的。

And it's compressed, yeah.

Speaker 2

我觉得这在一定程度上是一致的——

I would say that's somewhat consistent-

Speaker 2

……至少在能力差距上有所缩小。

... in terms of the capability gap at least closing a little bit.

Speaker 2

但有趣的是,它们的表现基本上是一样的。

But that's interesting that their performance is basically the same.

Speaker 0

从我的角度来看,看到团队提供的图表,所有的线最终都汇聚到了同一个位置。

From my perspective, seeing the charts from the team, all the lines ended up in the same place.

Speaker 0

当你观察时,主要就是时间、成本,然后可以说是效果或创造力。

And when you're looking at, it was immediately time, cost, and then call it effectiveness or creativity.

Speaker 0

在它们所有操作结束时,当它们达到收益递减点时,它们最终都到了同一个位置。

They all ended up, at the end of all their operations, where they hit diminishing returns, they ended up in the same place.

Speaker 0

不过成本方面不是这样。

Not on cost, though.

Speaker 2

对,成本不是这样。

Yeah, not on cost.

Speaker 2

对,有道理。

Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 0

对,有道理。

Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 2

所以这正好可以聊聊你们在用哪些模型,然后——

So it's a decent segue maybe to talk about what kind of models you guys are using, and then-

Speaker 2

你觉得实验室公司未来会扮演什么角色?

... what role do you think the lab companies play in the future?

Speaker 0

嗯,其实我都不确定我有没有回答完你上一个问题,除了说安全领域的专业知识得跟搞AI的人合作,因为我确实读了那篇meter的论文,我当时就想,这些人虽然是搞AI的,但我不确定他们做过多少调查工作。

Well, and I don't even know if I finished answering your last question other than domain expertise on security is going to have to work with the AI folks because I did read the meter publication, and I was like, well, these guys are AI people, but I'm not sure they've done a lot of investigations.

Speaker 2

他们缺乏领域专业知识。

They don't have the domain expertise.

Speaker 0

这种情况肯定会发生。

And that's going to happen.

Speaker 0

再说回模式转变,因为这里就有一个例子。

Again, the modality shift, because here's one.

Speaker 0

当云刚开始兴起的时候,我正在处理一堆安全事件。

When cloud started emerging, I was running a bunch of incidents.

Speaker 0

我们在Mandiant靠应对数据泄露为生,我们不得不学习云泄露是什么样的。

We were responding to breaches for a living at Mandiant, and we had to learn what's a cloud breach look like.

Speaker 0

现在我们得学习AI泄露是什么样的。

We now have to learn what's an AI breach look like.

Speaker 0

Anthropic或者那些被用来发动攻击的模型公司,他们手里有多少数据?

How much data is at Anthropic or the model companies that are being leveraged to do the attacks?

Speaker 0

你希望他们记录什么,以及他们如何改变行为,以便有更好的审计追踪和取证能力。

What do you wish they logged, and how they will change behavior as well to have better audit trails, better forensic capability.

Speaker 0

所以这项技术还处于早期阶段,我们都必须逐渐成熟起来,当这些系统出问题时,我们要能承担责任。

So it's early onset to the technology, and we all clearly have to mature into it in a way where we have the accountability when these things go rogue.

Speaker 0

你可以说:“发生了什么,什么时候发生的。”

You can say, "Here's what happened and when."

Speaker 0

不应该花两周时间做取证才能搞清楚。

And it shouldn't be two weeks of forensics to figure it out.

Speaker 0

我不想这么说。

I hate to say it.

Speaker 0

我们记录了每一个——

We log every single-

Speaker 2

是时候了。

It's just time for that

Speaker 0

我们代理做的每一件事,源IP地址、时间和日期,以及它做了什么。

... thing our agent does, source IP address, time and date, and what it did.

Speaker 0

所以你得回溯并重放这些事件。

So you got to go backwards and replay these things.

Speaker 0

我觉得他们吃了不少苦头才学到教训,现在可能比三个月前好多了,不管是OpenAI还是Anthropic,在测试方面——

And I think they've learned lessons the hard way, and they're probably way better today than they were even three months ago at OpenAI and Anthropic and testing-

Speaker 0

这些方面。

... these things.

Speaker 0

那些有正规实验室的人看到这个,就会说:‘好吧,我们得在这里收紧一点了。’

And whoever had a regular lab, they're looking at this going, "Okay, we got to tighten up a little bit here."

Speaker 0

我理解他们很惊讶,因为他们低估了它。

And I get they were surprised because they underestimated it.

Speaker 0

我们对付人类对手时也是这么做的。

And we've done the same with human adversaries.

Speaker 0

这真是最奇怪的事情。

It is the weirdest thing.

Speaker 0

我整个职业生涯中,每个人都低估了你所面对的最顶尖的对手。

My whole career, everybody underestimates the top tier of what you're up against.

Speaker 0

因为你不需要每天都看到它。

Because you don't have to see it every day.

Speaker 0

而且你不想害怕所谓的床底下的妖怪,所以不想有恐惧、不确定和怀疑,但你仍然要尊重你正在创造的技术,并以一种有意义的防护方式去测试它们。

And you don't want to fear the bogeyman, as they say, under the bed, so you don't want to have FUD, but you still want to respect the technologies that you're creating and test them in a way that is meaningfully guarded.

Speaker 0

大卫,我们手里有只笼中的野兽。

Got a caged beast, David.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2

笼中之兽。

Caged beast.

Speaker 0

你明白的。

You do.

Speaker 2

我喜欢这个说法。

Love it.

Speaker 0

但我觉得,你把它关得太紧了,稍微放开一点。

And I would argue, you cage it too much, release a little bit.

Speaker 0

找到那个平衡点,因为如果你做得过于确定,这里就是安全运行AI的艺术,至少在网络攻击方面,你想要利用前沿实验室的智能去做事,但不要做错事。

Find the line because if you do overly deterministic, here's the art form to safety running AI, at least in cyber on offense, is you want to leverage the intelligence of the frontier labs to do stuff but not do the wrong stuff.

Speaker 0

所以你需要分类器。

So you need classifiers.

Speaker 0

你需要一个模型来检查所有外发和所有进来的内容。

You need a model that looks at everything going outbound, everything coming inbound.

Speaker 0

我们是通过人来做的,大家点赞或点踩。

We've created that with people and humans going thumbs up, thumbs down.

Speaker 0

这个好,那个不好。

That's good, that's bad.

Speaker 0

你得训练它,分类,然后观察它。

You got to train it, classify, and look at it.

Speaker 0

但如果太死板,限制太多,可能就发挥不出它的创造力了。

But if you get too deterministic and disallow too much, you're probably not leveraging the creativity of it.

Speaker 0

你得适当放开一些,所以这是个灰色地带。

You let it out some, so it is a gray area.

Speaker 0

而灰色地带的问题就在于,这就是为什么没人敢说“我们百分之百确定能得到我们预期的结果。”

And that's the problem with that gray area, is that's why no one would ever say, "We're 100% certain we're going to get what we expect."

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

就是这样。

Period.

Speaker 0

我们确实面临这样的挑战,但还没出过问题,因为我们能把人加进流程里,或者用分类器来提示:"这事儿得让人来决定。"

It's a battle we even have, but we have yet to have an issue because we can put a human in the loop, or we have classifiers that say, "A human needs to decide this.

Speaker 0

我们根本搞不清楚刚才到底发生了什么。"

We don't know what the hell just happened."

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吧?

Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 0

所以,如果你要审查所有发出去的提示词、所有返回的结果,一旦发现有什么东西回来但我们完全摸不着头脑,那就先暂停,上报,然后由人来判断。

So if you're inspecting everything that's come, every prompt to the labs, everything coming back, and something comes back and we don't know what the hell it is, pause, escalate, judge.

Speaker 2

在 Armadin 内部,那些顶尖的安全运营人员是什么样的?

What do those great security operators look like inside Armadin?

Speaker 0

靠的是丰富的经验。

A lot of experience.

Speaker 0

十五年的攻击方经验,还有十五年的红队演练经验。

Fifteen years on offense, 15 years of red teaming.

Speaker 0

我觉得在我们职业生涯中,几乎把财富百强里的99家都做过红队测试了。

I think we've red teamed literally 99 of the Fortune 100 throughout our careers.

Speaker 2

哇。

Wow.

Speaker 0

我们没拿下那一家,我知道是谁,他们从来没雇过我,但我很喜欢他们的产品。

We didn't get one, and I know who it is, and they've never hired me, and I love their products.

Speaker 0

所以说不定有一天,他们会雇我。

So one day, maybe I'll get hired by them.

Speaker 2

那我们去搞定他们吧。

Let's go get those guys.

Speaker 0

我们经常和他们聊。

Talk to them all the time.

Speaker 0

但一直没谈成。

Never landed them.

Speaker 0

没关系。

That's all right.

Speaker 0

他们可能确实不错。

They might be good.

Speaker 0

不过他们经验非常丰富。我看了一下我们那90多个零日漏洞,大部分都是由人工发现的。

But they are very experienced, and when I look at our 90-plus zero-days, the majority have been found by human.

Speaker 0

之所以靠人工发现,是因为我们用AI搞定了90%以上那些枯燥的工作,比如渗透测试,都已经自动化了。

But they're found by humans because we're leveraging AI to do 90-plus percent of the tedious work, which is pen testing, done, automated.

Speaker 0

Web应用的渗透测试,那种需要创意和表达力的环节,对于顶尖水平的团队来说也已经自动化了,但我们还是让人工参与其中。

Web app pen testing in creative, articulate way done, automated for the 98th, 99th percentile, but we're still putting humans on it.

Speaker 0

不过有意思的地方来了,David。

But here's where it gets interesting, David.

Speaker 0

最近几个零日漏洞,嘿,技术团队发现了。

The last few zero-days, hmm, tech found it.

Speaker 2

真的吗?

Really?

Speaker 2

哦,哇。

Oh, wow.

Speaker 0

所以我们已经扭转了局面。

So we've made the turn.

Speaker 0

而且大多数人已经转向了。

And most people already have made the turn.

Speaker 0

他们就是技术。

They're tech.

Speaker 0

如果你在进攻端利用AI,你的AI代理就能发现零日漏洞。

If you're on offense leveraging AI, your AI agents are finding zero-days.

Speaker 2

我想现在换个话题,聊聊你建立公司的理念和心态。

I want to shift gears now to your philosophies and mindset in building a company.

Speaker 0

你知道,这些都不一样。

You know, they're different.

Speaker 0

对,这里有几件事。

Yeah, so couple things there.

Speaker 0

我第一次创办公司是在2004年,那时候我不会说自己是个企业家。

The first time I built a company was 2004, and I wouldn't have said I was an entrepreneur.

Speaker 0

我在04年2月创办了Mandiant,当时是自筹资金并且盈利的。

I started Mandiant in '04, February, and it was self-funded and profitable.

Speaker 0

我们之所以成功,是因为事后回想起来,当时几乎学不到什么,但回头看时,你会说:‘哦,我当时确实学到了’,通常是因为经历了痛苦。

And we were successful because in hindsight, it's like you almost learn nothing at the time, and then you look back and go, "Oh, I did learn right then and there," because of the pain usually.

Speaker 0

但现在回头看Mandiant,

But I look back on Mandiant now.

Speaker 0

我们当时有一个没人相信的前提,因为我们的第一个网站写着‘安全漏洞不可避免’,没人相信。

We had a premise nobody actually believed in '04 because our first website said, "Security breaches are inevitable," and nobody believed it.

Speaker 0

我自己都不知道我有多相信。

And I don't even know how much I believed it.

Speaker 0

而且——

And-

Speaker 2

这个标语挺不错的。

It's a pretty good tagline

Speaker 0

……顺便说一句,我有点偏离了。

... by the way, I'm slightly off.

Speaker 0

我们的第一个标题是‘你不能只依赖预防措施’,那太无聊了,但和‘安全漏洞不可避免’是一个意思。

Our first headline was, "You cannot solely rely on preventive measures," and that was so boring, but that's the same as security breaches are inevitable.

Speaker 0

你知道吗?

You know?

Speaker 0

不能只靠防御。

Can't rely on defense.

Speaker 2

这个对你来说更好。

Better ring on this for you.

Speaker 0

对,我搞错了,因为我不是搞营销的。

Yeah, I got it wrong because I'm not a marketing guy.

Speaker 0

但不管怎样,安全漏洞是不可避免的,我们的前提是,让我们应对每一个重要的漏洞,这样我们就能掌握第一手情报,知道如何防止它再次发生。

But anyway, so security breaches are inevitable, and the premise was that let's respond to every breach that matters so we have first-mover intelligence on how to prevent it happening again.

Speaker 0

所以,网络安全中第一个情报模型就是杀毒软件。

And so the first model of intel in all of cybersecurity was antivirus.

Speaker 0

就像我们寻找恶意软件一样。

It was like we look for malware.

Speaker 0

我们有它的签名,如果我们漏掉了,David George 就得找到恶意软件并提交给我们,这样我们才能改进。

We have signatures for it, and if we miss, David George has to find the malware and submit it to us so we get better.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

这个模式不好。

That's a bad model.

Speaker 0

我妈妈不会在她笔记本电脑上找恶意软件的。

My mother's not finding malware on her laptop.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

它只会把她的笔记本电脑搞坏。

It's just going to eat her laptop alive.

Speaker 0

所以那个模式不好,我们决定换一个更好的模式,因为我处理过安全漏洞,而我处理它们的原因是杀毒软件很容易被绕过。

So that model was bad, so we decided a better model because I had responded to breaches, and the reason I was responding to them is AV was easily evaded.

Speaker 0

所以我们想,既然杀毒软件不行,那就再加一层防护吧。

And so we were like, "Well, let's second layer AV because it stinks."

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

这就是乔治现在拥有的东西。

And that's what George now owns.

Speaker 2

哦,当然。

Oh, of course.

Speaker 2

是的。

Yep.

Speaker 0

那我们就加一层杀毒软件。

So let's second layer AV.

Speaker 0

不过,你还是得有杀毒软件。

You still have to have AV, though.

Speaker 0

我虽然批评它,但现实是,你还是需要它,或者用别的东西替代它。

I beat it up, but the reality is, is you still need it or something that replaces it.

Speaker 0

所以第二层防御是必须的。

So the second layer of defense was required.

Speaker 0

所以杀毒软件是想象中的防线,然后你再用能学习和思考的东西来延伸这条防线。

So AV was imaginal line to here, then you extend the imaginal line with something that can learn and think.

Speaker 0

所以我们当时就想这么做。

And so we wanted to do that.

Speaker 0

其实我把Armadin看作是情报的第三波,为什么非要等受害者出现然后从中学习呢?

And I actually look at Armadin as just the third wave of intel, like why are we waiting for a victim and learn from that?

Speaker 0

这太荒谬了。

That's ridiculous.

Speaker 0

你得先自己发现问题。

You've got to find your own problems first.

Speaker 0

不要等着某个国防承包商被攻破,然后赶紧分享信息,确保这种事不再发生。

Don't wait for defense contractor A to be compromised and then quickly share the information to make sure it never happens again.

Speaker 0

那种模式还是需要的,因为总有些东西能突破防线,让你措手不及。

And that model still needs to exist for the things that somehow get there, that beat you.

Speaker 0

但我们现在已经有了那种模式,只是还不够好。

But we got that model now, and it's just not good enough.

Speaker 0

回到你的问题,Mandiant是自筹资金的。

So back to your question, Mandiant was self-funded.

Speaker 0

大卫,现在哪有公司能靠自己资金撑起来的。

I don't know of self-funded companies these days, David.

Speaker 2

嗯,速度——

Well, the speed-

Speaker 2

……要求——

... requires that-

Speaker 0

这就是变化。

That's the change

Speaker 2

……你必须得快。

... you've got to be fast.

Speaker 2

这就是区别。

That's the difference.

Speaker 0

我们创立Armadin时,理念已经不同了。而我创立Mandiant时,想法是:“嘿,这就是我们谋生的方式。

We started Armadin, the philosophies were different, and when I started Mandiant, it was, "Hey, this is what we do for a living.

Speaker 0

让我们赚够钱,好继续做这行。”

Let's make enough money to do it for a living."

Speaker 0

就是这样。

That's it.

Speaker 0

所以我们雇了最优秀的人,我们的理念是:“我们会比竞争对手付给你更多的钱,但你要更努力地工作。”

So we hired the best people, and we had a philosophy of, "We're going to pay you more than our competition, but you're going to work harder."

Speaker 0

所以我们一直觉得,我们人更少,但工作更努力。

So we always felt like we had less people working harder.

Speaker 2

但人更好。

But better people.

Speaker 0

我觉得我们以拥有优秀人才而闻名,这些人才也一直很出色。

I think we were known for having great talent, and that talent has prevailed.

Speaker 0

大约一年前,有人给我发了条短信,说:“恭喜,RSA主舞台的主题演讲中,43%的演讲者是Mandiant的校友。”

There was a time about a year ago, somebody sent me a text, and they said, "Congratulations, 43% of the RSA main stage keynotes are Mandiant alumni."

Speaker 2

真的假的。

Come on.

Speaker 0

这就是我收到的短信。

And that's the text I got.

Speaker 0

我从来没核实过,但那个人说得挺准的。

I never verified it, but the guy's pretty accurate.

Speaker 0

如果那是真的,我就接受这个数据,而且我觉得很可能就是真的。

I'll take that stat if that's true, and I think it probably was.

Speaker 0

我们长期以来吸引了很多人才,影响力也很大。

We've got a lot of reach over time with a lot of talent.

Speaker 0

再看看Foundstone。

And look at Foundstone.

Speaker 0

看看George Kurtz。

Look at George Kurtz.

Speaker 0

2000年的时候,我和他在Foundstone一起工作过。

He and I worked together at Foundstone in 2000.

Speaker 0

从Foundstone出来,很多人创办了成功的公司,也培养了很多成功人士。

From Foundstone, you've spawned a lot of successful companies and people.

Speaker 0

Mandiant也是一样,但区别在于这些方面。

So same thing with Mandiant, but the differences are this.

Speaker 0

第一,必须有资金支持。

A, got to be funded.

Speaker 2

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

第二,要依靠增长速度,现在就要抓住市场。

B, owe your growth rate, get the market now.

Speaker 0

我看Armadin的机会,感觉我们就像顺风每小时80英里,但我们没有销售团队。

I look at Armadin's opportunity, I feel like we have an 80 mile an hour tailwind, but we don't have a sales force.

Speaker 0

我们没有市场推广。

We don't have a go-to-market.

Speaker 0

我们还没有国际化。

We're not international.

Speaker 0

所有这些都必须实现,而在当今经济中,要想击败大公司,唯一的办法就是把市场推广做好,在正确的时间用正确的技术,而且你最好已经准备好了你的第二步。

All that just has to happen, and the only way to thread the needle in today's economy to beat the bigs is get this go-to-market in place with exactly the right tech at the right time, and you better already have your act two ready.

Speaker 2

是的,准备好了。

Yeah, ready.

Speaker 2

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

而且你的第三步计划也得提前准备好,因为你不想把自己逼到死角。

And your act three behind that ready because you don't want to get boxed into a corner.

Speaker 0

所以Armadin有第二步计划,我们的第三步计划也已经规划好了,但我们正在建设市场推广体系,这需要资金,而且你必须提前建设。

So Armadin's got an act two, we have our act three planned, but we're in the process of building go-to-market, which requires the funding, and you have to build it ahead of time.

Speaker 0

消费级AI公司创造了如此惊人的收入增长。

The consumer AI companies created such meteoric rises in revenue.

Speaker 0

我认为在企业安全销售领域,这种增长是无法复制的。

I don't think they can be replicated in enterprise security sales.

Speaker 0

但你刚刚看到了那种压缩效应。

But you just saw the compression.

Speaker 0

Wiz从首次发布到年经常性收入超过1亿美元,只用了18个月,对吧?

Wiz got to over 100 million in AR in 18 months from their first release, right?

Speaker 0

我们要努力超越这个成绩,这就是你必须做的,尤其是在你被需要、必不可少、必须存在的时候,而这并不容易做到。

We're going to try to beat that, and that's what you have to do, especially when you're needed, necessary, and you have to exist, and that's not easy to do.

Speaker 0

所以你得拿到资金。

So you got to get the funding.

Speaker 0

你得不断思考,怎么快速成长?

You got to constantly think, how do you rapidly grow?

Speaker 0

你不能让车轮晃来晃去,意思是,怎么在高速前进的同时保持流程稳定?

You can't let the wheels on the bus get wobbly, meaning how do you go that fast and maintain process?

Speaker 0

在Mandiant那种节奏下,我们是自筹资金、盈利的,而且没有竞争对手,因为没人相信这个前提——

At Mandiant's pace of we were self-funded and profitable with no competition because nobody believed the premise-

Speaker 0

……我们并没有手忙脚乱。

... we didn't get that wobbly.

Speaker 0

我们只是有出色的领导和纪律,所以我们能做到。

We just had great leadership and discipline, and we could do it.

Speaker 0

要这么快成长,你得马上招到能规模化发展的领导者,他们得懂制度化流程。

Growing this fast, you have to hire scalable leaders right away that understand institutionalized process.

Speaker 0

光靠拼劲、直觉和胆量是赢不了的。

You can't win with grit, gut, and moxie.

Speaker 0

你实际上得把Armadin的方式流程化,甚至工业化。

You actually have to proceduralize, almost industrialize, the Armadin way.

Speaker 2

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

你明白我的意思吗?

You know what I mean?

Speaker 0

这正是我在琢磨的事情。

And that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Speaker 0

就是怎么做到这一点,同时还能觉得自在。

It's how do we do that and feel comfortable doing it?

Speaker 2

是的。

Yep.

Speaker 0

这里有几个复杂的地方,咱们开始吧。

And here's complications, so let's do it.

Speaker 0

第一,你得快速成长。

A, you got to grow fast.

Speaker 0

第二点,在人工智能时代,以前的发展速度是,你在1月份的销售启动会上培训销售团队,然后这一年就搞定了。

B, in the AI age, it used to be- Development was at a speed where you train sales at the sales kickoff in January, and you're good.

Speaker 1

对,没错。

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 0

所以我在想,等等,我们现在每两周就变一次。

And so I'm trying to figure out, wait a minute, we're different every two weeks.

Speaker 1

变化太快了。

It's changing too fast.

Speaker 1

对,确实。

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 0

那现在怎么让销售团队保持最新状态呢?

What is the modality now of having a sales corps that is right up to date?

Speaker 0

这是我想到的一个挑战。

And here's the challenge that I thought.

Speaker 0

我聊过的每个CEO都在问:人工智能怎么改变我们的业务?

Every CEO I've talked to is like: How does AI change our business?

Speaker 0

我们都在解决这个问题。

And we all sort that out.

Speaker 0

但它如何改变我们的人力呢?

But how does it change our manpower?

Speaker 0

当我看到AI对销售的影响时,在企业安全销售领域,现实是人们仍然从人那里购买。

When I look at AI's influence on sales, the reality in enterprise security sales is people still buy from people.

Speaker 1

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

目前你仍然需要同样的市场推广结构。

You still need the same damn go-to-market structure for now.

Speaker 0

实际上,这更加坚定了,因为技术变化太快,你不能把责任推给客户去弄清楚你们是怎么变化的。

And in fact, it's even more emboldened because the tech's changing so fast, you can't put that onus on the customer to figure out, how did you change?

Speaker 0

它在哪里?

Where is it at?

Speaker 0

所以我们必须建立一个制度化的流程,让销售每周都接受培训。

So we have got to create a process, institutionalized, where sales is trained every week.

Speaker 0

我们现在进展到哪一步了?

Where are we at?

Speaker 1

对。

Yep.

Speaker 0

我们做得怎么样?

How are we doing?

Speaker 0

这些流程能帮你赢得胜利。

And these are processes that will get you to win.

Speaker 0

你想想看——

You think about-

Speaker 1

对,再加上在安全领域的信誉,对吧?

Yeah, paired with the credibility on the security side, right?

Speaker 0

对,没错。

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 0

顺便说一句,在我参与的任何公司里,这都无可替代。

And by the way, there is no replacement for any company I'm involved in.

Speaker 0

我们从来不想着‘咱们就在自己的领域里当个老二吧’。

We are not ever aiming to be, "Let's be number two in our space.

Speaker 0

那听起来挺有意思的。"

That sounds fun."

Speaker 0

而是要在你所做的事情上做到全球第一。

It is be the best in the world at what you do.

Speaker 0

说到招聘,我记得曾经有人问过我一个问题。

And when we hire people, I remember getting a question once.

Speaker 0

有人问,"那你怎么知道自己是最厉害的呢?"

Somebody asked, "Well, how do you know when you're the best?"

Speaker 0

我的回答是,"当你真的做到最顶尖的时候,你自己心里有数。"

And I'm like, "When you are the best, you know it."

Speaker 0

你得在自己做的事情上做到世界第一。

You have to be the best in the world at what you do.

Speaker 1

如果你还得去问这个问题,那你大概率还不是最厉害的,对吧。

If you have to ask the question, you're probably not, yeah.

Speaker 0

你说得对。

You got it.

Speaker 0

我敢肯定,勒布朗·詹姆斯职业生涯中有一段时间,他清楚自己必须更加努力才能保持最佳状态。

I'm pretty sure there was a time in LeBron James' career where he knew, "I'm going to have to work harder to stay the best."

Speaker 1

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

这就是我希望我们在Armadin感受到的。

And that's how I want us to feel at Armadin.

Speaker 0

体育的比喻都挺贴切的。

The sports analogies all work.

Speaker 0

汤姆·布雷迪上场时从来不会想:“好吧,我是这里第二好的四分卫。”

Tom Brady never walked on the field going, "Well, I'm the second-best quarterback out here."

Speaker 1

没错,他一直都是。

No, always.

Speaker 0

但这需要更努力的工作、更优秀的人才,而且你必须不断检验:我们是不是最好的?

But it requires harder work, better people, and you have to constantly test, are we the best?

Speaker 0

我们是不是最好的?

Are we the best?

Speaker 0

而且你会很快从客户那里知道,如果你需要做得更好。

And you learn very quickly from your customers if you got to do better.

Speaker 0

所以,这个反馈循环,客户直接到工程师,也非常关键。

So, that feedback loop, customer straight in to the engineers, is critical as well.

Speaker 0

所以长话短说,速度已经变了。

So long story made short, speed has changed.

Speaker 0

必须进行资本募集。

Got to do a capital raise.

Speaker 0

必须扩展流程,并且不断测试这些流程。

Got to scale processes and test those processes all the time.

Speaker 0

我无法忍受的是混乱。

What I can't stand is chaos.

Speaker 0

CEO的工作就是绝对要把公司里的混乱对员工隐藏起来。

A CEO's job is to absolutely hide chaos at a company from the employees.

Speaker 0

就是这样。

Period.

Speaker 0

你得确保他们不会觉得,"我们太随意了。

You've got to make sure they're not like, "We're so loose.

Speaker 0

我们完全没头绪。"

We have no idea."

Speaker 0

那就错了。

Wrong.

Speaker 0

你得直接说,"这是流程。

You have to just say, "Here's the process.

Speaker 0

如果流程太多你学不过来,那就去找那个人。"

If process is too much for you to study, that's the person you go to."

Speaker 0

你只需要知道一个人的名字。

All you need to know is a guy or a person's name.

Speaker 0

我就是这么看的。

And that's how I look at it.
