AI Agents in Action: Protecting Against Synthetic Media and Human Risk Exploits | James McQuiggan

Описание: AI Agents in Action: Protecting Against Synthetic Media and Human Risk Exploits
Presenter: James McQuiggan

AI agents and Agentic AI are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, creating a new era where artificial intelligence can act, adapt, and make decisions at machine speed. This talk explores the dual nature of AI agents: powerful tools for defenders and potent weapons for attackers. Cybercriminals are already using agentic systems, deepfakes, and synthetic media to launch highly targeted social engineering attacks that bypass traditional safeguards and exploit human weaknesses.

We’ll break down how these systems work, how they’re being abused, and what risks they introduce to modern organizations. You’ll learn how to detect and mitigate Agentic AI threats, identify early indicators of misuse, and understand the new attack patterns emerging from autonomous and semi-autonomous AI models.

On the defensive side, the session covers how security teams can harness AI agents to enhance threat detection, automate response workflows, improve monitoring, and stay ahead of evolving adversarial tactics. By adopting proactive strategies and integrating AI agents into your cybersecurity framework, you can strengthen your organization’s resilience against both human and machine-driven threats.
