AI has made the security arms race move faster than ever. Jesse Friedman sits down with Aaron Campbell, VP of Product at Monarx, to discuss how bad actors now use the same tools as the people defending against them. They explain how AI compresses the time between a vulnerability being disclosed and being exploited in the real world.
The conversation covers why layered security remains the gold standard. Aaron shares how Monarx blocked 8.7 trillion attacks last year, with more than half caught at the runtime layer based on behavior rather than known signatures. This matters because AI systems are finding brand new vulnerabilities and exploiting them immediately.
Jesse and Aaron also talk about WordCamp US in Phoenix and why it still delivers real value for agencies and hosting companies. From building connections to solving hard problems, they make the case for why sharing knowledge in the WordPress community continues to pay off. This episode is a practical look at security, AI, and the future of hosting.
