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. 

What you will learn:

• How cyber threat actors use AI to automate and scale attacks, including hyper-personalized phishing and sophisticated deepfakes.

• Actionable strategies for mitigating AI-enabled risks, strengthen governance, and enhance incident preparedness.

• How AI-driven tools are transforming threat detection and incident response to help organizations stay ahead of evolving cyber risks.
