Managing cyber risk in the era of rapid technological change

Identity Protection in an AI-Driven World

Cybersecurity and IT decision-makers continue to make significant progress in combatting identity-related threats. But they are typically dependent on static manual techniques. As cybercriminals increasingly leverage AI, existing identity controls are struggling to keep up. While cybersecurity criminals still use basic techniques, GenAI is fast becoming used to support attacks and obtain credentials and privileges.

How can organisations respond to ensure their identity management controls are adequate in an increasingly AI-driven world? In this session we will discuss:

  • The threats to identify protection from AI
  • The benefits of using AI to augment identify protection
  • The impact of Generative AI on identity and access management
  • Understanding the ROI of AI in security
