Automating Cybersecurity: Understanding the AI Attack Surface

The SANS CTI Survey 2025 reported a growing influence of geopolitics on cyber threats. Traditionally, physical intelligence has been collected and processed separately from strategic and geopolitical intelligence, while cyber intelligence also has its own silo. Yet, there is a good chance that a threat actor’s motivations and capabilities could originate from entirely different domains, outside cyber itself. This makes it vitally important that your cyber threat intelligence encompasses data sources from all these silos – including geopolitical and physical – in order to produce the most accurate and timely reports possible. This presentation will provide real-world examples that demonstrate the strength of applying a geopolitical lens alongside pure cyber threat intelligence.

The report also highlighted the ongoing challenge of demonstrating the value of CTI. While progress is being made here, many organisations still struggle to communicate CTI’s impact. This presentation will explore how staying ahead of the the news and information cycle can serve as a compelling way to demonstrate CTI’s value, particularly to hard-to-convince stakeholders. 

This webcast of the survey results explore:

▪️How CTI can help prepare organizations for unpredictable events with severe consequences
▪️How methodologies and enhanced analysis tools are shaping CTI practices
▪️How automation and engineering are supporting cyber threat intelligence operations
▪️The dual role of AI in cybersecurity, from threats to defensive measures
▪️How CTI teams assess their maturity and plan their CTI programs

SANS 2025 Survey Highlights: Navigating uncertainty in todays threat landscape

The geopolitical instability of the past few years has had a dramatic effect on business continuity, with spillover effects observed across supply chains, critical infrastructure, as well as direct cyber threats. 

Brands are targeted due to their real or perceived association with global events, operation in particular countries, or suffer impacts from third parties through no fault of their own. 

In this webinar, Lukas Vaivuckas, Solutions Consultant at Silobreaker, will explore current examples of geopolitical instability and its relation to cyber incidents and brand-related risks. He will discuss how real-time open-source intelligence (OSINT) can be used for horizon scanning to provide crucial indicators for situational awareness, incident response planning and geopolitical risk reduction.

Join us to learn:
