Humans have been labeled the weakest link for ages. But what about Al?

In this session, Cato CTRL experts reveal how attackers have weaponized Al systems and agents for harm.
They'll walk through real attacks from the wild that show how adversaries use prompt injection and model manipulation to make Al tools perform actions they shouldn't.
This session reframes how you should think about Al risk, and what happens when machines become the ones making mistakes.

Humans Are Not the Weakest Link. Guess who FAIls?

We’ve trained AI agents to automate tasks, connect tools, make decisions, and take actions. But threat actors are now turning that operational power and trust against us. By targeting MCP and A2A protocols, procedures, and servers, attackers can hijack agents to delete files, exfiltrate data, send emails, and compromise systems without any human interaction.

In this Cybersecurity Masterclass, Cato CTRL experts expose how prompt injection, excessive permissions, and insecure third-party tools open the door to fully automated attacks-executed through AI agents. If you’re running agents today, this session will change how you think about them as a security risk.

Living off the AI: Targeting AI Agents

Zero Trust is a strategy that goes beyond access control and continuous verification—it’s about achieving meaningful business outcomes like protecting the brand and aligning with CxO priorities. To move from strategy to execution, organizations need enforcement that’s built into the network and security foundation, not added on top of legacy stacks.

SASE turns Zero Trust from strategy into execution. By converging networking and security into a single, cloud-native platform, it provides the context and control Zero Trust depends on.

SASEfy 2025

This year, we’ve seen familiar threats take on unexpected forms - from supply chain breaches and AI-driven vulnerabilities to the risks and costs caused by security complexity. As we head into 2025, understanding these shifts is essential.  

Join Cato Networks’ Chief Security Strategist and Cato CTRL founding member, Etay Maor, for a Cybersecurity Masterclass unpacking key lessons from 2024’s most significant and unique breaches, and learn what organizations need to know to stay vigilant and protected in the year ahead. 

What’s covered: 

New levels of patience and precision in ‘low and slow’ supply chain attacks: The XZ vulnerability attack showcased a rare strategy: a threat actor embedded themselves in an open-source project for years, waiting for the perfect moment to commit a backdoor. 
Tricking AI with new evasion tactics: Attackers use prompt injections in malware code to mislead AI-based security tools and evade detection, tricking them into marking malicious code as safe. 
Why complexity is the enemy of security: How the biggest threat to organizations may be their security complexity, which is the leading contributor to the cost of a data breach.

From Misuse to Abuse - AI Risks and Attacks (Cyber Security Master Class: Episode 19)

Network teams once managed remote access through legacy solutions like VPNs, designed for an era when a handful of remote employees occasionally connected to applications hosted in physical data centers. 

But with the rise of remote and hybrid work, VPNs became bottlenecks, causing inefficiencies, increased latency, scalability issues, and major security gaps. 

Today, network and security teams must work together to secure a much wider attack surface. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) converges networking and security in a single, cloud-native service, enabling shared responsibility and a collaborative approach to connecting and protecting remote users. 

Join our webinar, hosted by Chris Rudolph, Cato’s Product Marketing Manager, to learn why team unity and collaboration is key for your remote access strategy.  

What you’ll learn:

Why legacy VPNs can’t meet today’s remote access demands.
How a lack of collaboration between network and security teams creates vulnerabilities, reduced visibility, and inefficiencies. 
How SASE, with native ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), supports increased visibility and control via a single management console – sharing insights, unified policy enforcement, and easier management. 
A real-world example of how one organization transformed remote access and improved team collaboration with Cato SASE Cloud.

Why Remote Access should be a collaboration between Network and Security
