How AI Is Reinventing Cybersecurity - with Eric Foster

AI is changing every industry—but most companies are simply adding AI onto old processes instead of rethinking how work gets done. In this episode, Steph and Kathryn sit down with Eric Foster, CEO and founder of TENEX.AI, to discuss what it really means to build an AI-native company. After decades in cybersecurity leadership and building one of the industry's largest managed security businesses, Eric set out to create TENEX.AI from the ground up with artificial intelligence at its core rather than as an add-on. He has spoken extensively about the difference between "AI-native" and "AI-bolted-on" organizations, the future of cybersecurity, and how AI is reshaping enterprise operations. Unbuttoned Up truths: ✔ AI isn't just another technology—it's a new operating model. ✔ Companies that redesign work around AI will outperform those that simply automate old processes. ✔ Organizations that start learning today will have a significant competitive advantage.
