Session: Defending critical networks against AI-fuelled cybercrime
AI is accelerating cybercrime. Attackers now run coordinated campaigns against the systems that keep society running, automating reconnaissance, personalizing scams, and unleashing DDoS storms that can cripple telecom, energy, and transport networks in minutes.
Their new playbook is invisibility. 63% of network operators were hit by stealthy “living-off-the-land” campaigns last year, with attackers hijacking trusted tools and blending into routine admin tasks. They hide in lawful interception paths and subscriber databases, making breaches look like business as usual… until the damage is done.
Ransomware, AI-driven phishing, and supply chain attacks are engineered to disrupt the infrastructure we depend on. With global cybercrime costs set to top $10.5 trillion, defense demands rapid detection, instant response, and the ability to spot threats hiding in plain sight.
This session explores what it takes to keep critical infrastructure resilient when cybercrime goes industrial and AI is the engine behind the threat.
