Event Details
AI is helping companies move faster; but it’s also giving attackers new superpowers. Criminals can now use AI to imitate real employees, break into systems without leaving a trace, and steal valuable data in minutes. This session explains, how AI is changing the nature of cyberattacks and what organizations can do to protect themselves.

Why This Matters
Recent industry research from firms like McKinsey and Gartner shows that AI-driven attacks may soon make up one third of all security incidents. These attacks move too quickly and too quietly for traditional tools or human teams to catch. Every organization, technical or not, needs to understand this shift, because the risks now touch every department that relies on digital systems.

What You’ll Learn
•⁠ ⁠What AI-powered attacks look like (with simple, relatable examples)
•⁠ ⁠How attackers use AI to trick people, mimic identities, or break into systems
•⁠ ⁠Why older security methods are no longer enough
•⁠ ⁠How AI can also be used for defense, acting like a smart, constantly learning security guard

Outcome
You’ll walk away with a simple, confident understanding of what AI threats are, why they matter, and what steps your organization can take to stay safe. No security background needed—just curiosity and a desire to stay ahead of rapidly evolving digital risks.
