Cybersecurity and cyber resilience: It's an evolution
Cyber security and cyber resilience are often used interchangeably. While they are related, they’re far from being synonyms, and it’s crucial for everyone to understand the difference. In practical terms, a cyber-resilient organization assumes that at some point it will be successfully attacked. We must adapt to this reality and still enable the business to operate. Stan will get into the distinctions between what we know and how we can evolve to a more resilient state.

Changing Cyber Landscapes: The Battle of Algorithms
Among rapidly evolving technological advancements, the emergence of AI-enhanced malware is making cyber-attacks exponentially more dangerous, and harder to identify. Mounted at speed and scale, AI-powered cyber-attacks will drastically increase yield for cyber-criminals, and may even result in the subtle manipulation or distortion of information or data.
In the face of offensive AI attacks, organizations are turning to defensive cyber AI, which can identify and neutralize emerging malicious activity, no matter when, or where, it strikes.
In this session, learn about:
-Paradigm shifts in the cyber-threat landscape
·Advancements in offensive AI attack techniques
·How defensive AI can fight back
·Real-world examples of emerging threats that were stopped with Cyber AI
