Cybersecurity with AI and for AI: a real-world industry perspective
Cybersecurity and AI are deeply interconnected. Advanced AI techniques are increasingly being used to enhance security and privacy solutions, while at the same time, state-of-the-art AI systems themselves need built-in security and privacy safeguards to remain reliable and resilient.
This expert gathering offers an industry-focused look at both sides:
- How AI is strengthening the security capabilities of leading organizations.
- How AI systems themselves must be secured, to protect against misuse, manipulation, and vulnerabilities.
Join our afternoon session and learn from experts as they share real-world experiences, open challenges, and best practices. Whether you stay for the entire session or drop in as your schedule allows, this is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and gain practical insights into one of today’s most urgent topics.
Supported by the Cybersecurity Research Program Flanders.
