Learn to identify and defend against AI-powered cybersecurity threats in this 33-minute webinar featuring Red Canary security experts Brian Donahue and Caleb Fogleman. Explore how adversaries leverage artificial intelligence in their attack campaigns, including crafting sophisticated phishing messages, writing malicious code, and automating attack processes. Discover how security operations teams can protect enterprise AI infrastructure from compromise while understanding the dual nature of AI as both a defensive tool and potential attack vector. Examine how Red Canary uses AI internally for threat detection and analysis, providing insights into both legitimate and malicious AI applications. Master fundamental defense strategies that remain effective against AI-powered attacks, including defense in depth, proper authentication, least privilege access, and comprehensive monitoring. Understand why AI-powered attacks are often noisier and more detectable than traditional methods, and learn to leverage deception technologies and honey tokens as defensive measures. Gain practical recommendations for securing AI systems, protecting corporate AI tools from adversarial targeting, and maintaining essential human oversight in AI-assisted security operations while recognizing that AI represents an evolution in adversary tooling rather than a complete paradigm shift in cybersecurity defense.
