Learn how AI impacts cyber risk, and how to bolster your security in response!
AI-powered cyberattacks are evolving at an unprecedented pace, outpacing traditional defenses and exploiting human vulnerabilities. South African and global organisations are facing a surge in AI-driven phishing, deepfake social engineering, automated disinformation, and self-learning malware. How prepared are we to defend against these next-gen threats?
In this session, Anna Collard, SVP of Content Strategy & Evangelist at KnowBe4 Africa, Ambassador at the Global Forum of Responsible AI, and a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council for Cybersecurity, will unpack key insights from KnowBe4’s African Security Awareness Report 2025, the World Economic Forum’s AI & Cybersecurity Report, and PwC’s Digital Trust Insights Survey 2025.
We’ll explore the latest attack techniques, the growing role of AI in cybercrime, and what this means for security leaders.
Discover how cybercriminals are leveraging AI to craft hyper-personalised and automated attacks, find out what the biggest human cyber risk factors are facing African organisations today, and get actionable strategies to fortify your human firewall and build a culture of cyber resilience.
To close the session, we’ll introduce KnowBe4 AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Defense Agents) — an AI-driven security awareness platform designed to dynamically adapt training based on real-world attack patterns and user behaviour.
Join us for practical, data-driven insights, sharpen your defense strategies, and discover how AI can be leveraged not just as a threat — but as a force multiplier for cybersecurity resilience.
