Live from Bloomberg in London, our CSO Rinki Sethi, joined the studio with Francine Lacqua to discuss how AI is reshaping both the threat landscape and the way security teams need to operate. She made one thing clear: AI isn’t just a risk, it’s an equalizer. Attackers are already using AI to move faster. Security teams need to do the same, not just to keep up, but to scale beyond human capacity. That’s where runtime security becomes critical. “You've got to be where the attacks are happening, and so the future of security is all going to be at runtime,” Rinki explained. “You can’t do security right if you’re not at runtime.” We're proud to have Rinki leading the way, not just for Upwind, but as a voice driving the conversation globally around how AI is changing security, and why runtime needs to be at the center of it. 💙 Up & Upwind! 🏄‍♂️ Greylock Partners, Craft Ventures, TCV

Rinki Sethi, Chief Security & Strategy Officer at Upwind Security on automated decisions, weaponized trust paths, static cloud security, and AI risks.

Many security leaders still rely on static frameworks—audits, closed vulnerabilities, and compliance—that were designed for a more predictable threat landscape and no longer reflect real-time risk. CISOs must shift to runtime visibility, comprehensive identity inventory, least-privilege enforcement, AI-driven alert triage, and realistic incident rehearsals to close the widening gap between measured and actual risk. #Anthropic #ClaudeMythosPreview #Mythos #UpwindSecurity #RinkiSethi
