Travis Farral, VP and CISO at Archaea Energy, joins hosts Nate Burke and Lior Div to explore how AI can reclaim our time from cybersecurity’s tedious tasks—and what we’d do with that time instead. From data sifting and incident response to managing swarms of AI agents, the conversation dives into how the nature of human work is evolving and what defenders should expect next.

This episode kicks off "Do Human Work" with real talk about reclaiming creativity, the inevitability of AI-human collaboration, and why the arms race between attackers and defenders just leveled up.
