The Cybersecurity Poverty Line: how AI is redefining the balance for everyone
In the context of the “Cybersecurity Poverty Line”, many organizations lack the resources and expertise needed to adequately defend themselves, while threats continue to evolve through AI. To address this challenge, an AI-native security platform is required — one that combines advanced automation with human expertise. In this way, even companies with limited resources can access advanced protection capabilities and reduce the cybersecurity gap.

From defense to prediction: the future of cybersecurity
Cyber threats evolve at an unprecedented pace, and security strategies must anticipate them, not simply react. As new working models redefine the boundaries of the enterprise, organizations need smarter tools and a fundamentally different approach to protection: one that is dynamic, automated, and predictive.
This session explores how AI, automation, and threat intelligence work together to help organizations detect risks before they materialize, defend infrastructure in real time, and ensure operational continuity in a perimeter-less world.
