Panel Discussion: AI in Cyber Security – Balancing Innovation and Compliance

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising cyber security by enhancing threat detection, automating responses, and predicting potential vulnerabilities. However, this rapid innovation introduces complex regulatory challenges, particularly in aligning with frameworks like the EU AI Act and ISO 27001.

The dual nature of AI—as a tool for both defence and potential exploitation—necessitates a nuanced approach to governance, risk, and compliance.

This panel discussion addresses the critical need to balance technological advancement with stringent compliance standards, ensuring that AI’s integration into cyber security is both effective and responsible.
