About the Security Event

This threat briefing focuses on how AI is actually being used in real world cyber attacks, separating exaggerated claims from operational reality. The session explains how threat actors are applying AI to amplify existing malware and disinformation tactics, and how media attention is being leveraged to increase pressure during extortion campaigns.

The discussion highlights current AI malware maturity, its impact on incident response, and recent case examples that show how attackers exploit public narratives. Attendees will gain practical guidance on applying intelligence led threat framing, monitoring AI service abuse, strengthening detections, and responding effectively without overreacting to hype.
