The New Threat Landscape: Defending Against the AI Powered Adversary

The cybersecurity threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and AI is at the center of that transformation. Adversaries are leveraging AI-assisted tooling and autonomous agentic attack frameworks to orchestrate sophisticated campaigns faster, at greater scale, and with far less human involvement than ever before. This session brings frontline security experts together to examine how these advancements are reshaping the balance between attackers and defenders, and what modern security teams must do to keep pace.

What You'll Learn:

• How AI is lowering the barrier to entry for sophisticated attacks, from AI-generated phishing and deepfake social engineering to automated vulnerability discovery and exploit development
• The rise of agentic threat actors and how autonomous AI agents can chain together reconnaissance, lateral movement, and exfiltration with minimal human oversight
• Emerging defensive strategies and frameworks purpose-built for the AI era, and practical steps security teams can take today to build resilience against tomorrow's threats
