Nicole Carignan, VP, Strategic Cyber AI at Darktrace, will discuss how the advent of AI is changing the threat landscape, evaluating how adversaries are using these tools now and what the future may hold as AI advancements continue to unfold at a rapid pace. As defenders look to stay one step ahead of the rising tide of unknown AI-powered threats, integrating defensive AI approaches in security operations has become critical in being able to proactively harden defenses, identify and respond to threats in machine speed, and uplift stretched teams. Nicole will explore different AI techniques and their unique applications in cybersecurity, emphasizing that not all AI is created equal and that the right types of AI, trained on the right data must be applied to the right security problem. Leveraging Darktrace’s learnings from over a decade of applying AI to the challenge of cybersecurity, Nicole will help to demystify the new AI reality in cyber.
