Cyber Governance in the Age of AI: A Look into the Crystal Ball

AI is not just another cybersecurity tool - it is reshaping risk, defense, and trust. This forward-looking talk explores what happens when both attackers and defenders are machine-accelerated, creating faster, more adaptive threats alongside powerful new defenses. It challenges traditional ideas of control, accountability, and “defense in depth” in a world where AI itself is part of the attack surface. Attendees will gain a clearer mental model of emerging risks and practical ideas for preparing today for tomorrow’s realities.
