Session description

Speaker: Christopher Kunz

Even the greatest sceptics must now admit that AI is transforming IT security at breakneck speed. But what impact does artificial intelligence really have on attackers and defenders?

What is hype, what is clever crisis PR from big tech companies, and where does AI pose a genuine threat? Dr Christopher Kunz, editor at heise security, guides you through a turbulent year in his overview, navigating between agents, models and surprisingly simple truths. Because at the end of the day, the same applies to agent-based attackers: it’s the basics that count.
