Cybersecurity: From Cost Center to Competitive Advantage

AI has historically struggled to assist in offensive security due to a critical shortage of real-world training data. This session takes a deep dive into the methodology behind recently published research designed to overcome this limitation through adversarial self-learning. Following up on her popular Security Congress 2025 keynote, researcher Alissa Knight will dissect a novel architecture where an AI teaches itself to hack not by studying past attacks, but by engaging in a continuous, high-stakes war game against itself. Attendees will learn the mechanics of this "survival of the fittest" loop, where two competing agents—one constructing defensive puzzles and the other evolving breaking strategies—force the emergence of increasingly sophisticated API attacks without human intervention. The session will move from research theory to validation with a live demonstration against a banking API using Ares, a prototype implementation of this autonomous framework.

Join Steve Piper, CEO of CyberEdge and Editor-in-Chief of Security Buzz, as he explores AI’s transformative impact on the IT security industry. On the defense side, AI is revolutionizing threat detection, automating incident response, and predicting vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. However, threat actors are also leveraging AI to enhance phishing attacks, create evasive malware, and orchestrate sophisticated social engineering campaigns. 

This webinar provides a balanced view of AI’s dual role in cybersecurity, showcasing both the opportunities and challenges it presents. Gain insights into how IT security teams can adopt AI to stay ahead, while understanding how adversaries may use it to their advantage. With expert commentary and real-world examples, this session equips attendees with the knowledge to navigate AI’s impact on the evolving threat landscape.

From Shield to Spear: How AI is Reshaping Cyber Defense and Offense

We started with a simple question: what do modern attackers do? After analyzing over 700,000 security incidents, one technique was almost universally present: a staggering 84% of major attacks incorporated Living Off The Land (LOTL) tactics, using the same native tools and utilities your administrators use every day. If the tools are the same, how do you tell an attacker from a user? To find out, we turned our focus to legitimate usage data. By comparing this legitimate activity side-by-side with the malicious activity, we found quite a lot of interesting patterns.  

Join the Bitdefender team and ISC2 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific on September 16, 2025 to get actionable insights from real-world attacks to better detect threats hiding in plain sight.
