    Former U.S. CIO Tony Scott on AI, Cybersecurity & Intrusion (NASDAQ: INTZ) | MoneyTV #1252

    Former U.S. Chief Information Officer Tony Scott joins CJ Melone on MoneyTV to discuss the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and the future of Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ). Scott brings an extraordinary background to the conversation, with leadership experience at Microsoft, VMware, The Walt Disney Company and General Motors before serving as U.S. Federal CIO. During his time in Washington, he helped lead the federal government's response following the massive Office of Personnel Management breach that compromised approximately 21 million identities. In this episode, Tony explains how Intrusion approaches cybersecurity differently by using decades of internet reputation data to identify and track bad actors, including threats that may not yet be actively attacking a network. He also discusses how machine learning and AI are being used to identify patterns and respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Tony and CJ also discuss Intrusion's acquisition of Vigil Agent, an agentic AI managed security provider. According to Scott, the platform uses AI agents to analyze alerts, identify patterns and indicators of compromise, and make recommendations to human cybersecurity analysts at machine speed. IN THIS EPISODE • Why cybersecurity threats are accelerating as the world becomes more connected • How Intrusion identifies and tracks bad actors across the internet • How AI is changing both cyberattacks and cyber defense • Why America's power grid and critical infrastructure remain cybersecurity concerns • Tony's experience responding to major cybersecurity incidents as U.S. Federal CIO • Intrusion's acquisition of Vigil Agent and its agentic AI technology • How the acquisition expands Intrusion's cybersecurity platform and go-to-market strategy • Intrusion's work with government agencies and large institutions • How the company helps map critical infrastructure and network dependencies • Tony's journey from working with Apple II computers to becoming U.S. Federal CIO • The business and investment story behind Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ) Intrusion's newly acquired Vigil Agent business is expected to add approximately $3.5 million in annual recurring revenue, according to Scott, while providing a broader platform through which Intrusion's SHIELD technology can reach customers.
