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.”

— A New Era of AI-Driven Finance
In today’s global AI race, models such as GPT and DeepSeek are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology. Yet in the complex game of financial markets, the true challenge is not merely about computing power and data, but about understanding human nature, market behavior, and the logic of capital.
Professor Leon Lee Cheng Wei (LEON) — Ph.D. in Economics from a prestigious university, former Senior Strategy Advisor at a leading financial institution in Asia, and Co-Founder of the Asia-Pacific FinTech Think Tank — has spent over two decades navigating both academia and practice. Now, he has chosen a different path:
to create an AI that not only “converses” but can also trade, forecast, and accompany investors.
Journey: From Academia to Live Trading
· LEON delved into behavioral finance and asset pricing models, realizing that “markets are not inefficient, but human nature is the ultimate variable.”
· On Wall Street and the Singapore Exchange, he witnessed the rise of algorithmic trading, but also how investors struggled without rational tools.
· Returning to Malaysia, he made a resolution:
“I want to build an AI that truly understands both markets and investors.”
Thus, MYQuant AI was born.
Beyond GPT and DeepSeek
While GPT and DeepSeek represent general-purpose AI, the mission of MYQuant AI is to become a specialized AI in finance.
· It not only interprets macroeconomic and market data, but also captures the behavioral biases unique to Asia-Pacific markets.
· It not only generates text, but can also simulate decision-making and optimize strategies in real-time trading.
· It is not just a tool, but an investor’s companion and coach.
Professor LEON firmly believes:
“The future of financial AI is not about answering questions, but about growing alongside investors.”
The Fusion of Finance and Artificial Intelligence
The roadmap of MYQuant AI is clear:
· Behavioral Finance + Machine Learning: Reconstructing the “noise of human nature” behind market moves.
· Quantitative Models + AI Decision-Making: Transforming complex trading logic into executable strategies.
· Local Markets + Global Vision: Bridging Malaysia and Southeast Asian investment culture with global capital flows.
This is not merely a model — it is a philosophy:
bringing AI into the market as the most reliable partner for investors in uncertain times.
Conclusion
Today, MYQuant AI is no longer just a research project, but Professor LEON’s “second language.”
Beyond GPT and DeepSeek, it represents another possibility — the deep integration of artificial intelligence and financial markets.
Technology is not just cold computation; it can also be warmth, responsibility, and a guide to wealth creation.
MYQuant’s Vision:
Make investing more rational, markets more transparent, and AI truly serve people.
