Navigating AI-Driven Threats in the Cloud Security Landscape in 2025

Navigating AI-Driven Threats in the Cloud Security Landscape in 2025


The rapid adoption of AI technology by adversaries is compounding the already significant challenges faced by overburdened cybersecurity teams. 

As organizations accelerate their digital transformation, security professionals now operate in a world defined by hyper-automation, where the distinction between known and unknown threats is increasingly blurred. The velocity and sophistication of AI-driven attacks continue to rise, overwhelming traditional defenses and demanding a new paradigm in threat detection and response.

This session will explore:

  • The Escalating Threat Landscape: How adversarial AI is amplifying the scale and complexity of cyberattacks, and why security teams must adapt to outpace these evolving threats.
  • Hyper-Automation in Security Operations: Strategies for balancing automated defenses with human oversight, and addressing the challenges of identifying and mitigating both known and unknown risks in real time.
  • Leadership in Crisis: Adversaries are leveraging AI to automate attacks, create convincing deepfakes, and exploit vulnerabilities faster than ever. For cybersecurity teams not investing in AI, the gap between attacker capabilities and defender resources is widening at an alarming rate. What are some practical steps leaders can take to empower their teams?
  • Balancing Security and Business Continuity: The difficult question of leadership tolerance when defensive AI measures inadvertently restrict legitimate business processes, and how to navigate these trade-offs without compromising productivity or security.
  • The “Bot War”: An examination of the ongoing battle between good and bad Agentic AI bots, and what the future holds for automated defenders and attackers in the cloud.

Attendees will gain actionable insights into the evolving dynamics of AI in cybersecurity, and leave equipped with strategies to lead their organizations through the challenges and opportunities of the AI-driven security era.
