Artificial Intelligence is transforming cybersecurity faster than any technology shift before it. Attackers are already using AI to discover vulnerabilities, craft convincing phishing campaigns, automate reconnaissance, and accelerate malware development. At the same time, defenders are leveraging AI to improve detection, automate investigations, reduce response times, and strengthen security operations.

But there is a third battleground that often receives less attention: the software and service supply chain. As organizations increasingly rely on AI-powered tools, cloud platforms, third-party providers, and open-source components, new risks emerge that can impact thousands of organizations simultaneously.

Join moderator Sami Laiho and industry experts Guillermo Fisher, Myron Helgering, Stephen L. Rose, and Tatu Seppälä for a lively discussion on the rapidly evolving AI security landscape. The panel will explore how AI is changing both offensive and defensive security operations, what organizations should realistically expect from AI-driven security tools, how supply-chain attacks continue to evolve, and what practical steps security leaders should take today to prepare for the threats of tomorrow.

Whether you’re a security practitioner, IT leader, architect, or executive, this session will provide real-world insights into the opportunities, risks, and strategic decisions shaping the future of cybersecurity in the age of AI.

Bring your questions—this session is designed to be interactive, opinionated, and forward-looking.
