“Invisible Threats: When the AI Agent Becomes the Attack Vector” is a virtual webinar dedicated to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats driven by artificial intelligence. This session is designed for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, and decision-makers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to understand and address the unique risks posed by AI-enabled attacks.
Understanding AI-Driven Cyber Attacks
The webinar provides a comprehensive overview of how attackers are leveraging AI agents to conduct sophisticated cyber attacks. Unlike traditional threats, these AI-driven attacks often blend seamlessly into legitimate activity, making them difficult to detect with conventional security tools. Attendees will learn about the structural differences between AI-based threats and more familiar attack vectors, gaining insight into why existing detection models may fall short.
Challenges with Endpoint Detection and Shadow AI
One of the core topics addressed is the inadequacy of traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions when faced with AI-powered threats. The session delves into the concept of shadow AI—unauthorized or unmanaged AI tools operating within organizations—which creates significant blind spots for security teams. Understanding these challenges is essential for developing effective defense strategies.
Actionable Insights for SMEs
Participants will receive practical guidance on assessing and mitigating risks in environments where AI tools are present. The webinar emphasizes the importance of clarity and actionable intelligence, aligning with the message that businesses of all sizes deserve access to world-class cybersecurity.
