Conference Overview

As we kick off 2024, guess what's stealing the spotlight in the cybersecurity space? Yes, it's AI. Forty-eight percent of CISOs are bracing for generative AI to shake up their strategies within the next five years. Across the globe, countries are crafting their own AI rulebooks to ensure responsible AI behavior. Think of the EU's AI Act as the GDPR for AI, setting the bar globally. With cyber threats on the rise and rules in flux, government, business leaders, CISOs, and security teams find themselves in the hot seat.

Deep fakes, IP violations, and malicious actors are leveraging AI for sophisticated malware creation, executing scams through impersonation, and poisoning AI training data. Increased utilization of AI for automating phishing, malware proliferation, and credential stuffing operations. Adding to the complexity is quantum computing, which, when intertwined with AI, poses even greater risks. It's scary that this landscape of challenges is constantly expanding and evolving.
