The two sided race: How AI Reshaped Both the Attack and Defense

Speakers

About this session

We have spent thirty years quietly putting AI to work in security. Spam filters, anomaly detection, malware classifiers. Nobody called it AI back then. What changed isn't that defenders finally got smart tools. It's that the attackers got the exact same ones, at the same time. In this session I'll walk you up the curve I have watched both sides climb, from machine learning to assistant to agent and now to autonomous, and I'll show you where each tool is already being used against you. We'll look at the deepfake video call that moved USD 25 million. We'll look at the malware that writes a fresh payload every time it runs, so your signatures never catch it. And we'll look at the intrusion campaign where the AI did roughly 90 percent of the work on its own. Then I'll flip it, because the defense is climbing just as fast. You'll see attack disruption cut a live attack in minutes. You'll see a portfolio of security agents (Security Copilot) that investigates a serious attack. And you'll see the frontier research that flushed out ten thousand real vulnerabilities in its first weeks. Expect real incidents, learn about both sides (attack perspective and defence perspective) what works and what blows up, demo's and room for questions.
