From FBI Cyber to the AI Frontline
M.K. Palmore led the FBI San Francisco cyber team that investigated the Yahoo breach — the first cyber case to reveal nation-state activity operating alongside a criminal hacker for hire. After 22 years at the FBI and executive roles at Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud, Palmore is now founder of Apogee Global RMS.
In this interview, he breaks down:
The Yahoo breach — how it became the first case where national security and criminal intent overlapped in a single cyberattack
A real story — watching a job candidate secretly read AI-generated answers off a screen during a live interview
The number that matters — cyber-enabled fraud costs businesses hundreds of billions of dollars every year
The gap — why most organizations adopt AI first and secure it second
Palmore's take: "AI is a double-edged sword." The environment is as risky as it's ever been.
