Artificial intelligence has evolved from simple lookup systems to sophisticated neural networks that enable predictive defense strategies. Organizations now face a dual reality: AI strengthens cybersecurity operations while cybercriminals weaponize the same technology through deepfakes and adaptive malware. Success requires integrated approaches spanning vision, workforce development and security architecture.

In this session, Nitin Devanand of ManageEngine will explore:

• How AI transitions IT management from reactive monitoring to predictive threat mitigation;
• The cybersecurity implications of AI weaponization by threat actors and defensive countermeasures;
• Building organizational readiness through strategic vision, skills development and AI-integrated security frameworks.
