Cybersecurity challenges and AWS solutions in the AI era
As the technology world has grown more complicated through an explosion in artificial intelligence use cases, it has also led to challenges for cybersecurity professionals. Generative AI applications must be secured, the infrastructure around AI needs to be protected, and there is a constant worry about new threats driven by AI-powered tools.
AWS’ Rohan Karmarkar talks with theCUBEs John Furrier about cybersecurity.
For major cloud practitioners such as Amazon Web Services Inc., this reality requires close coordination with its partners to ensure that these factors are properly managed.
“We’re definitely seeing an increase in the velocity of attacks, so obviously security partners have to cater to that, AWS has to cater to that,” said Rohan Karmarkar (pictured), director of APO technology for AWS Partner SA. “These partners are making sure that they build capability to defend against AI-powered attacks and also build capability to make the security engineers and security operations center more productive, more automated. Those are the two things that we’re working with our partners on to build those capabilities using the secure foundation that we have.”
Karmarkar spoke with theCUBE’s John Furrier at the AWS Mid-Year Leadership Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how partners are using AWS tools to mitigate threats and build a more secure environment.
Building cybersecurity on AWS
For partners, a key approach for managing security initiatives in the AI world is to build on the AWS platform. This includes leveraging many of the cloud provider’s intelligence tools, according to Karmarkar.
“PagerDuty, one of our key partners, uses Amazon Q Business, Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker to improve the incident response automation with AI,” Karmarkar said. “There are other partners like Trellix who has a Trellix-wide security assistant, which is built on Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker. Typically, security engineers get overwhelmed with these incidents, so bringing the right context and helping them analyze and getting them more productive is something that security partners are doing.”
Something else that security partners are doing is building agents. AWS is seeing its partners explore innovation in agentic AI to address a wide range of factors, including cost, accuracy and specialized domain management.
“There are a couple of partners like PantherAI and Securonix who have launched various agents that help in security engineering aspects, security operations,” Karmarkar said. “We are seeing a lot of agentic kinds of workflows and applications being built now. They’re starting with simple agents, but we are also seeing trends where agent-to-agent communication and multi-agent kinds of workflows are there.”
Adoption of AI agents and new ways to leverage autonomous technology for improving security have forced many AWS partners and customers to re-evaluate their applications. App modernization has become a key ingredient in building a secure IT environment.
“There’s a lot of conversation around app modernization,” Karmarkar explained. “We definitely are talking about application modernization because application and data modernization is the foundation to have a strong AI. How do we get apps to use the latest technologies, provide interfaces or databases to be vector enabled? It’s an interesting time to be in tech.”

AI Promptly Hired unveils a subscription-based model that delivers top AI and machine learning talent to businesses in 72 hours or less.
— Transforming Staffing for the AI Era
Ava C. Ivy, the founder and CEO of AI Promptly Hired, has turned decades of leadership experience into a disruptive force in the world of staffing. With more than 30 years in human resources, including distinguished service in the U.S. military, Ivy’s journey to entrepreneurship was driven by a vision to bridge the talent gap in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). By launching AI Promptly Hired, Ivy is challenging traditional recruitment practices and positioning her company at the intersection of human potential and cutting-edge technology.
The Shift to AI: Why Speed and Precision Matter
AI Promptly Hired operates on a subscription-based model that offers businesses, startups, and scaling companies access to top-tier AI and machine learning professionals in as little as 72 hours. This approach stands in stark contrast to traditional staffing models, where roles can take weeks or even months to fill. Ivy’s company is dedicated to speed, precision, and flexibility, ensuring that clients do not miss out on the opportunity to leverage highly qualified talent at the right moment.
“We’re not just offering staffing solutions—we’re empowering companies to innovate and scale faster,” said Ivy. “The future of work won’t wait, and neither should the companies trying to build it.”
A Vision Rooted in Leadership and Resilience
Ivy’s transition from military leadership to entrepreneurship wasn’t simply a career shift; it was a testament to her ability to adapt and innovate. After years of strategic leadership in the military and corporate sectors, she pivoted to founding AI Promptly Hired, bringing together her expertise in human resources with her forward-thinking vision for the future of AI.
“I’ve lived transformation—military service, corporate leadership, entrepreneurship. Reinvention isn’t just my story; it’s the foundation of my business,” she shared. Ivy’s background in human resources allows her to not only understand hiring but also to grasp the human element behind the technology that is transforming industries.
A Movement, Not Just a Staffing Firm
AI Promptly Hired’s business model is revolutionary. By focusing on high-demand AI and machine learning professionals, Ivy has positioned her firm to meet the technological needs of today’s businesses without the long waiting periods and inflated recruiting costs associated with traditional firms.
“Most firms take weeks or months to fill critical AI roles. At AI Promptly Hired, we do it in 72 hours or less,” said Ivy. With AI Promptly Hired’s agile model, organizations can swiftly secure the talent necessary to stay ahead of the competition in a tech-driven world.
A Published Author with a Vision for the Future
In addition to her leadership in staffing, Ivy is also an author. Her books, The AI Gold Rush: How Regular People Are Building Million-Dollar Apps in Their Pajamas and The Last Job on Earth (a speculative thriller about society’s uneasy surrender to artificial intelligence), highlight her deep engagement with the possibilities and challenges of an AI-powered future.
“I didn’t just start a staffing company—I built a bridge between human potential and the future of artificial intelligence,” Ivy explained. Her thought leadership extends beyond her company, aiming to inspire and challenge audiences to think critically about the changing nature of work and the role of AI in that transformation.
