Eset | Fast, Accurate, Lightweight: Engineering AI for Threat Detection

AI is changing cybersecurity. But not necessarily in the ways the headlines would have you believe. We are entering an era where artificial intelligence is colliding with everything humans have built over modern history — and cybersecurity sits directly on the fault line. The rush to deploy AI faster and trust increasingly autonomous systems is creating an entirely new attack surface. But while the industry debates AI doomsday scenarios, the real threats are already here. Threat actors are paying attention. In this session, Juraj Janosik, Vice President of AI at ESET, will cut through the hype to look at what the AI threat landscape looks like today, where it is heading, and what it takes to defend against this new reality. Drawing on examples from ESET's own research and development — and hard lessons learned along the way — he will show why the future of cybersecurity belongs neither to AI optimists nor AI doomers.
