What this session covers

AI is now on both sides of the security equation. Attackers use it to find vulnerabilities, write exploits, and scale campaigns. Defenders use it to hunt threats, review code, and cut incident response from days to minutes. Meanwhile the surface to defend is exploding: more code shipped faster, much of it written by machines. But speed alone is not defense: machines that act in milliseconds can also be wrong in milliseconds, and someone still has to decide what gets automated and what does not. Where AI is genuinely winning for defenders, where it still fails, and what it takes to stay ahead.
