Embracing GenAI cybersecurity – Learn how attackers use GenAI

Generative AI is rapidly transforming the cybersecurity landscape—empowering defenders, but also giving attackers powerful new tools. Embracing GenAI Cybersecurity is a hands-on workshop designed to help participants understand how cybercriminals are leveraging Generative AI to launch more advanced, scalable, and convincing attacks.

In this session, participants will explore real-world examples of how GenAI is used in phishing, social engineering, malware development, deepfake-based fraud, and automated reconnaissance. By stepping into the attacker’s mindset, you will learn how these AI-driven techniques work, why they are difficult to detect, and how traditional security measures are being challenged.

The workshop bridges theory and practical awareness, offering insights into emerging attack patterns, threat modeling in the age of AI, and the defensive strategies organizations must adopt to stay ahead. Ethical considerations, responsible AI use, and the evolving role of cybersecurity professionals in a GenAI-powered world will also be discussed.

Whether you are a student, IT professional, security practitioner, or technology leader, this workshop will equip you with critical knowledge to recognize AI-driven threats, strengthen security posture, and confidently navigate the future of cybersecurity—where understanding the attacker is key to effective defense.
