AI-Driven Threats & Defences: What Security Leaders Must Do Next

How can organisations secure generative AI in a Zero Trust world?

 

Generative AI is rapidly redefining the cyber-threat landscape. As GenAI tools become embedded in organisations across development, productivity and customer-facing workflows, they introduce new risks in data leakage, model abuse and deliberate AI-enabled attacks that move faster and evade traditional controls.

 

With research showing a sharp rise in AI-driven malware, the burden on the security office has never been higher. Attackers are exploiting GenAI to automate malware creation, personalise whaling campaigns and bypass legacy detection methods. At the same time, well-intentioned employees may unknowingly expose confidential information to public models or insecure plugins.

 

Security leaders now face a dual challenge: supporting the innovation and efficiency gains that spring from AI while maintaining visibility of and control over sensitive data, identities and IP. Managing these new risks requires a shift in organisational approaches to security. Playbooks must be rewritten and security teams must focus on isolation, real-time interception of threats and policy-driven controls designed for AI-era usage. This discussion will explore how security teams can adapt their strategies to protect data, users, and enterprises without slowing AI adoption.

 

Join us to network with your peers and gain practical insights into the importance of securing generative AI. This is an exclusive event and seat numbers are very limited, so apply for your place now.

 

The topics we will explore

 

During the meeting, we will focus on questions such as:

• How does sensitive and confidential data accidentally leak into AI models?
• What are latest malware vectors targeting UK enterprises? How is GenAI changing the attacker’s toolkit, and where are traditional defences failing?
• How can organisations enable GenAI safely without blocking productivity?
• How should security architectures evolve to address AI-generated malware and phishing?
• What practical steps can UK enterprises take today to reduce GenAI risk exposure?

 

Who is invited?

 

This sponsored breakfast discussion is designed for senior decision makers across industry who wish to discuss securing generative AI. Delegates will be employed as information security professionals in large organisations (500+ employees) across the private sector.
