Malicious vs. Defensive — Winning the AI Arms Race
Hosted by Abnormal AI
AI is the critical differentiator in the evolving battle between hackers and defenders. As attackers use AI more effectively, CIOs and CISOs are tasked with defending against AI-powered cyberattacks that humans can't always easily identify. And the only way to win this war is with the same technology — utilizing AI to detect and stop attacks at superhuman speeds.
Join this session to discuss:
- The rise of AI-powered threats and how attackers are using AI today
- How AI can be used defensively for better detection and automated monitoring
- Why organizations must step into the future to stay safe in the new AI era
