As AI becomes a central element for both attackers and defenders, this webinar goes beyond the typical “it’s got AI” hype to investigate what these claims truly entail in practice. We will analyse how AI transforms the threat landscape, particularly when it disrupts security during critical stages, and how it increasingly blurs the line between traditional social engineering and automated attacks.

Although AI is frequently at the forefront of discussions, it primarily serves as a new layer of technological glue, helping existing threats evolve and enabling new ones to arise. Drawing on Trend Micro’s 2026 security predictions, we will explore these evolving dynamics and shed light on the often-overlooked factors that will influence cyber risks in the coming years.
