Cybersecurity and AI: What You Need to Know
Join host Shreyas Damera for a conversation on Cybersecurity and AI. Together we will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the security landscape from both the defensive and offensive sides. As AI tools become widely adopted, they create new opportunities to automate response and strengthen threat detection, while also introducing risks that organizations cannot ignore.
Guided by the course he developed, this session will move from fundamentals of security to what it actually means, and it will answer questions that matter most today: how large language models change the rules attackers and defenders relied on, why AI now uncovers thousands of vulnerabilities that can be exploited, and what responsible adoption looks like in business decisions and national policy. Whether you are working directly in security, leading decisions, or trying to understand the implications of AI for risk and protection, you will leave with timely insights and a stronger gasp of challenges ahead.
What you'll walk away with:
A clear definition of what security really protects
Why AI systems break the rules classical security relies on
How prompt injection and autonomous agents create risks traditional tools miss
How AI is the strongest new defense and a powerful new weapon
A mental model for thinking about AI risk
