Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity by acting as both a powerful defensive tool and a potent weapon for cybercriminals. AI accelerates threat detection and automates responses, but it also enables sophisticated attacks like phishing, deepfakes and automated malware.

During this virtual event, attendees: 

• Identified the types of cyber threats your agency is facing and which AI tools are best suited to respond to them
• Delineated which cybersecurity activities can be adapted quickly for AI enablement (e.g. fraud detection through real-time transaction monitoring, or phishing detection by analyzing suspicious email)
• Outlined the steps to implement AI tools in order of priority
• Identified ways to incorporate theater MPEs into one overall solution
• Reviewed the roles played by zero trust and ICAM in protecting operations while maintaining speed of execution
• Outlined the role of AI in identifying and eliminating cyber threats in a battle space environment
• Identified the assets – from supercomputers to dedicated high-speed wireless networks to scientific disciplines – needed to meet the objectives of the Genesis Mission
• Evaluated the role your agency may play in executing a foundational science research project
• Delineated the internal and external resources required to achieve scientific breakthroughs in multiple disciplinary fields and identify overlaps in capabilities and objectives
