In the years to come, artificial intelligence will be playing a key role in cybersecurity-related operations and procedures. While a holistic approach to cybersecurity is necessary, it is simply too extensive to be handled by humans alone. For that reason, AI is becoming crucial in detecting and fighting against advanced threats, and the widespread use of machine learning capabilities seems to be the inevitable future. A powerful tool for cyber defenders, in the hands of hackers AI can become a dangerous weapon, significantly increasing their scope and efficiency. From the rapid creation of advanced malware to the unsettling world of facial and vocal impersonation, we’ll explore the evolving threats posed by AI in today’s digital landscape.

You will learn about phishing attacks, biometric manipulation, and the automation of vulnerability discovery, all reshaping the cybersecurity arena. New opportunities for criminals to exploit AI are being discovered every day, so understanding its two-sided application in the context of cyber security is a key issue today. During this session, cybersecurity expert Paula Januszkiewicz will discuss both the potential and the risks of using AI in cybersecurity. Real stories of recent attacks and live demonstrations of hacking techniques will be presented. Join Paula to get the full picture and prepare for the upcoming challenges.
