Navigating our future battlefield: Exploring the Intersection of Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

In today's digital landscape, the convergence of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI) presents both unprecedented opportunities and daunting challenges. As AI technologies rapidly evolve, they are increasingly integrated into cybersecurity systems to detect, prevent, and respond to complex threats. This panel delves into the dynamic intersection of cybersecurity and AI within the context of future market structure and trends. It will shed light on key areas of innovation vs those that may be overhyped. We will also discuss how organs can get their dev teams to shift left and incorporate more proactive security measures in the development process.
