AI, Cybersecurity and the human factor: Building resilience in the age of intelligent threats

Описание: Artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity, both as a powerful tool for defenders and a potent weapon for attackers; this webinar will explore the critical intersection of AI, cyber threats, and the human element in building cyber resilience.

In this GÉANT Cybersecurity webinar Dr. Maria Bada, a leading behavioural scientist and Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, explores how AI is being weaponised by malicious actors to automate attacks, bypass defences, and exploit human psychology. But AI is also playing a transformative role in helping organisations detect threats faster, respond more intelligently, and build more resilient security systems.

This session also explores pressing ethical questions around AI deployment, governance challenges, and the role of human decision-making in the face of intelligent, adaptive threats.

What you’ll learn:
How AI is being used to enhance and automate cyber attacks
Defensive applications of AI in threat detection and incident response
The psychological impact of cyber threats on individuals and organisations
How to build resilience through behavioural insight and human-centric design
Key ethical considerations and governance strategies for AI in cybersecurity
