Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

The most important effect of AI on cybercrime may not be a new class of attack, but the compression of time. Activities that once required specialist knowledge and deliberate effort, from vulnerability discovery and validation to targeting and social engineering, can now be performed faster and across more organizations. The underlying anatomy of the attack remains familiar, yet its tempo is beginning to challenge how defenders detect, decide and respond. Drawing on frontline observations, this keynote explores where AI is producing meaningful change, where expectations have moved ahead of reality and what this means for CISOs. The answer is not a new security doctrine, but a renewed focus on resilient technology, sound processes and people able to act under increasing pressure.
