Cybersecurity in the Age of GenAI

Introduction:

A high-value session exploring how GenAI is transforming cyber threats AND cyber defense. Participants learn how attackers use AI to craft phishing, deepfakes, and malware — and how defenders can use AI-powered tools to strengthen detection and response. Covers risks, compliance gaps, real-world examples, and immediate actions security teams must take.
