Bravo 管理合伙人塞斯·博罗表示，只有在适当的网络安全措施到位的情况下，人工智能建设才有可能实现，尤其是在消费者层面。
Bravo Managing Partner Seth Boro said the artificial intelligence buildout will only be possible if proper cybersecurity measures are in place, especially at the consumer level.
“显然，关于所谓的流氓代理，媒体上已经有很多报道，”博罗在周一接受彭博电视采访时表示。”我们认为，随着建设的进行，这种情况不会减少。而在消费者层面，现在确实是时候慢慢来了。”该高管在Thoma Bravo支持的Proofpoint Inc.同意以约63亿美元收购网络安全公司Varonis Systems Inc.的几天前接受了彭博的采访——这相当于Varonis在6月22日收盘价的52%溢价，而在潜在交易的传闻出现之前。
“Obviously, there’s been a lot in the press” about so-called rogue agents, Boro told Bloomberg TV on Monday. “We don’t see that subsiding as buildouts take place. And at the consumer level, it’s definitely a time to tslowly.”The executive spoke to Bloomberg days after Thoma Bravo-backed Proofpoint Inc. agreed to buy cybersecurity company Varonis Systems Inc. for about $6.3 billion — a 52% premium to Varonis’ closing price on June 22, before rumors of a potential deal emerged.
近年来几周来，随着人工智能代理自行结盟的报道增多，人们对科技公司可能失去对技术的控制的担忧加剧，AI安全领域的兴趣激增。
There’s been a surge of interest in AI security in recent weeks after reports of AI agents banding together on their own, raising fears that tech firms may lose control of the technology.
Thoma Bravo的Proofpoint帮助公司阻止诸如网络钓鱼、恶意电子邮件和其他网络安全威胁。Varonis则协助公司监控和管理云系统上的信息访问。周一，博罗表示，Thoma Bravo预计Varonis将继续扩张。
Thoma Bravo’s Proofpoint helps firms block threats such as phishing, malicious emails and other cybersecurity hazards. Varonis assists companies with monitoring and managing access to information on cloud systems. On Monday, Boro said Thoma Bravo expects Varonis to continue expanding.
“我们看到继续创新的大量机会，”他说。“这种AI建设只有在这些基础网络层到位的情况下才有可能实现。”}
“We see a lot of opportunity to continue to innovate,” he said. “This AI buildout is really only possible with this foundational cyber layer.”
