Session
AI agents are revolutionizing cybersecurity - but are they friend or foe? These autonomous systems can detect threats faster than human analysts, but they're also being weaponized by attackers for sophisticated social engineering and automated exploitation. This talk examines both sides of the AI agent coin through real-world examples and live demonstrations.
You'll see how AI agents can enhance your security operations, automate incident response, and improve threat hunting. But we'll also explore how adversaries are using AI agents for targeted phishing, automated vulnerability exploitation, and bypassing traditional security controls. We'll cover practical implementation strategies for defensive AI agents and detection techniques for malicious ones.
No theoretical frameworks or vendor pitches - just actionable insights from implementing AI agents in enterprise security programs and defending against AI-powered attacks. You'll leave with practical knowledge to either deploy AI agents in your security operations or better defend against them.
