Abstract: With AI showing promising outcomes for a wide range of digital processes, threat actors find it lucrative to adopt AI technologies to enhance their cyber attack operations. AI-generated attack vectors are a concern, as they leverage AI’s capabilities to craft sophisticated and adaptive threats that can bypass traditional security measures. AI-generated attack vectors include a range of techniques, from machine learning-powered phishing attacks to automated malware creation and evasion strategies. One concerning aspect is the ability of AI to analyze vast datasets and identify vulnerabilities in systems or networks, allowing attackers to exploit weaknesses more efficiently. In this rapidly evolving landscape, staying ahead of the curve is essential to safeguarding digital assets and privacy in an AI-driven world. The current webinar explores AI-generated attack vectors, as understanding these evolving threats is the first step in developing effective countermeasures. This webinar also discusses approaches to advancing AI-driven security solutions that are capable of detecting and mitigating AI-generated attacks while also fostering responsible AI development to mitigate potential misuse.

Key takeaways:

• Understanding the role of AI in the security and threat landscape
• AI-driven attack vector development
• Understanding AI-driven human and system hacking
• Identifying and mitigating AI-driven attacks
• Developing counterintelligence: AI-driven security
