The rapid evolution of AI has unleashed a new wave of cyber threats, with deepfakes, voice cloning, and other sophisticated deception technologies leading the charge. For CISOs, these tools can blur the line between truth and deception, challenging traditional security measures and intensifying the need for innovative defenses.
This session will explore how CISOs are addressing this growing threat landscape, from identifying vulnerabilities to implementing proactive strategies. We will discuss real-world examples of AI-driven deception tactics, discover emerging technologies designed to detect and mitigate these risks and learn how organizations can train their employees and adapt their security frameworks to stay ahead of adversaries.
