AI is changing the game in cybersecurity - and not just for defenders. Threat actors are harnessing AI to craft smarter, faster, and harder-to-detect attacks. In this session, we’ll break down a real-world phishing case, show how traditional defences were bypassed, and explore how automation and AI can turn the tide. Most importantly, we’ll look at how to build a security culture where humans and machines work together to stay ahead of attackers.
