Artificial intelligence is transforming the threat landscape, enabling sophisticated attacks that exploit both IT and operational technology vulnerabilities with unprecedented speed and scale. As adversaries leverage AI for ransomware-as-a-service and geopolitically motivated campaigns, critical infrastructure operators must develop adaptive defense strategies that anticipate and counter these evolving threats.

This session, led by Milton Guerrero, CISO at Hunt Oil, will explore:

• Technical adaptations required to defend against AI-powered attacks targeting converged IT/OT environments;
• Emerging AI-based threat vectors and their potential impact on OT systems;
• Strategic frameworks for building resilience against AI-enabled threats across the region.
