AI As The New Hacker Frontier

This talk gives insight into the intersection of AI and cyber security from a hacker's perspective and what we need to prepare for when it comes to emerging threats that use AI. While the business world debates the size of their AI investments and the extent of the latest AI trends, cyber attackers are already harnessing AI for malicious purposes to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their attacks. All while cyber defenders are at a disadvantage and have to wait until products and services receive the same level of features and capabilities.

The keynote further addresses the future AI cyber security threat picture and what decisions business leaders need to take to be better prepared for a future that includes AI as part of a comprehensive cyber security strategy.
