When AI Meets Cyber: Evolving Risks, New Defenses and Regulatory Compliance

Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity at an unprecedented speed, introducing new risks, new defensive capabilities and new regulatory challenges. In this session, we bring together leading forensic, legal and regulatory experts to explore how AI is reshaping the cyber risk landscape on both sides of the fight. Featuring experts from Mandiant and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the discussion will spotlight how threat actors are leveraging AI to develop increasingly sophisticated attack techniques. It will cover how companies and institutions can respond by deploying AI to strengthen detection, automate response and embed accountability into breach management, all in a way that complies with privacy principles and regulatory expectations. Panelists will also explore how Canadian privacy regulators are adapting oversight to keep pace with rapid technological change. Attendees will gain practical insight into integrating AI into incident preparedness and response programs, understanding evolving regulatory expectations, and developing strategies that align privacy, security and governance in the AI era.

What you will learn: 

• How threat actors are using artificial intelligence to enhance the speed, scale and sophistication of cyberattacks.
• How companies and institutions can strategically leverage AI to strengthen detection, automate response and build resilient, privacy-aligned cybersecurity practices and programs.
• How to leverage AI tools and combat AI threats in a manner that complies with privacy principles and regulatory expectations.
