Everyone is selling AI, but far fewer are shipping anything that works. This panel cuts through the marketing noise to examine where AI is genuinely shifting the balance in cyber security, for defenders and attackers alike and where the hype still outpaces reality. Our panelists share what they are seeing in real engagements, what is working in production versus what remains , and where the genuine edge lies once you strip away the vendor theatre. Expect a candid conversation on the practical wins and uncomfortable limitations: how AI is reshaping detection, response, and offensive tradecraft today, where it is quietly failing, and what practitioners actually need to prepare for over the next twelve months. Less keynote, more war stories the kind of discussion you would have with peers over coffee, on stage.
