Artificial intelligence has become increasingly ubiquitous, and its capabilities are being exploited not only for innovation and efficiency but also by threat actors aiming to refine their methods and probe vulnerabilities.

Nathan Swain, CISO, Binance; Max Kington, CISO, Global Markets, BNP Paribas; and Surinder Lall, senior vice president, global information security risk management, Paramount, will provide insights on how cybercriminals are leveraging AI to conduct sophisticated attacks, such as automated phishing, deepfake generation and AI-driven malware. They will examine these real-world cases, discuss their implications for U.K. organizations and provide strategies for mitigating these advanced threats.

In this session, you will learn:

• How AI is being utilized by cybercriminals to execute more sophisticated and harder-to-detect attacks, including phishing and malware
• Real-world examples of AI-driven cyberattacks, such as the AI-powered spear-phishing attack on Metro Bank and the deepfake fraud case targeting RWE
• Effective strategies and best practices for defending against AI-powered threats, such as enhancing threat detection capabilities and improving incident response protocols
