Nikesh Arora: Mythos is Real, Analytical SaaS is Dead, and Google can be a $10T company

Nikesh Arora
Show Notes

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora discusses how Claude Mythos uncovered years of vulnerabilities in Palo Alto's code in weeks, signaling a fundamental shift in cybersecurity where AI attackers may be outpacing defenders. He argues that analytical SaaS is becoming commoditized by AI, forcing a reckoning in enterprise software business models. Arora explores where value will flow as AI models become utilities, rates major tech companies (Waymo, Google, OpenAI) as an armchair CEO, and outlines Palo Alto's M&A strategy for reaching $1 trillion in value.
