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 analysing 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.
