Topic: The Future of Pen Testing: How AI Is Reshaping Ethical Hacking
Abstract: With cyberthreats becoming more sophisticated, traditional penetration testing capabilities often fall short in addressing the demands of the evolving threat landscape. The integration of artificial intelligence is set to redefine the boundaries of ethical hacking, with automated exploitation and intelligent risk assessment enabling security teams to manage and mitigate threats more quickly and effectively. This webinar will discuss the role of AI in ethical hacking, from intelligent vulnerability discovery to automated exploitation and real-time risk assessment. It sheds light on how to leverage AI to simulate real-world attack behaviors, prioritize vulnerabilities with context-aware intelligence, and reduce testing cycles without compromising depth or accuracy. Attendees will also gain insights into the benefits, risks, and considerations of using AI in ethical hacking and penetration testing.
Key Takeaways:
- Role of AI in augmenting automation and penetration testing
- Telemetry used in AI-based vulnerability assessment
- Tools and techniques used in AI-driven ethical hacking
- Benefits and limitations of AI-enabled ethical hacking
- Best practices and ethical implications in AI-based pen testing
