AI-Enabled Threats to Critical Infrastructure

AI is rapidly shifting the cyber threat landscape, empowering defenders while broadening opportunities for attackers who are faster and more dangerous than ever. Even the pace of that evolution is faster than anything cyber defenders have dealt with before. This is especially true in critical infrastructure attacks, where hackers who never had the combination of skills to take down systems can now do so with AI assistance, while defenders have opportunities to harden their defenses in ways they have wanted for years and AI now makes real. Because of the potential for catastrophe, these issues are not often publicly discussed. Join us at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00am Pacific November 5th as Sponsor Google Cloud and host ISC2 discuss how AI-enabled cyber offense is being applied by threat actors to damage critical infrastructure today, and what might come next. Key takeaways include: * Frontline Threat Intelligence & Case Studies: Gain direct insight into real-world Mandiant frontline observations, detailing how threat actors actively leverage AI-enabled tools to target, probe and compromise critical infrastructure, OT and ICS environments.

* Future Threat Horizons & Offense Trajectories: Understand the strategic evolution of AI-driven offensive cyber capabilities, including high-velocity automated exploit generation, adaptive evasive malware, and hyper-targeted social engineering campaigns.

* Actionable Defensive Protocols: Acquire practical, field-tested guidance on implementing defense-in-depth frameworks, enhancing proactive threat hunting, and deploying defensive AI capabilities to protect critical organizational assets against current and emerging threats.
