AI and Cybersecurity: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Tuesday, 31 March
09:00 - 10:00 EDT
Intermediate level
This session is part of the Think Tank series. Think Tank sessions are 45-minute breakouts with a 15-minute Q&A where experts in law and consultancy share their expertise on relevant and thought-provoking topics.
This presentation will explore how cyber threat actors are leveraging AI to automate and scale sophisticated attacks — from hyper-personalized phishing campaigns to realistic deepfakes — and the practical steps to take to reduce these risks. They will also examine how organizations are deploying AI-driven tools for threat detection and incident response to stay ahead of these evolving risks.
