AI Will Break Email

The AI revolution isn't coming—it's already here, and it's systematically breaking legacy email security as we know it. In this episode of Born in Silicon Valley, Alan LeFort, Co-Founder and CEO of StrongestLayer, reveals exactly why pattern-matching defenses are failing against AI-generated attacks and how his team is engineering reasoning-based detection to secure the future of enterprise communication. Alan brings over 25 years of experience scaling products at tech giants like Proofpoint, McAfee, and Intel. We dive into the critical pivot from large corporate life to startup innovation, exploring why true disruption requires a 10X leap in performance, not just incremental improvement. We also unpack the reality of the cybersecurity landscape: what hackers are really after, why AI is the ultimate double-edged sword, and how StrongestLayer is building the third generation of email security specifically for the AI era.
