AI is Becoming the Terrain of Cybersecurity: From Ground Infrastructure to Space
AI-Sana Programme, Kazakhstan · Hosted by Yelena Sedykh

Summary
Pradeep Menon joined Yelena Sedykh for a podcast for the AI-Sana Programme, a nationwide initiative by Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education focused on integrating AI into higher education and scientific research.\n\nThe conversation explored how AI is reshaping cybersecurity on both sides: enabling more adaptive and scalable attacks while driving faster, more predictive defence. Grounded in a telecom service provider context, the discussion extended from terrestrial networks to emerging risks involving low Earth orbit satellite channels, alongside practical lessons from AI-led cybersecurity transformation.
Selected insights
- AI is no longer just a tool in cybersecurity. It is becoming the terrain — from ground to space.
- Telecom networks can act as sensors to track the movement of drones, vehicles or people without relying on cameras.
- The conversation explored emerging threats involving LEO satellite channels and terrestrial core networks, and where organisations need to exercise caution.
