This interactive discussion on AI-Augmented Threat Detection and Response in Zero Trust explores how artificial intelligence revolutionizes cybersecurity by enhancing zero trust frameworks. With AI’s ability to process vast amounts of data, detect anomalies, and automate responses, organizations can proactively address sophisticated threats in real time. Participants will examine how AI strengthens the “never trust, always verify” principle, enabling continuous monitoring, adaptive authentication, and swift mitigation of risks. Through case studies, real-world scenarios, and collaborative brainstorming, this session will highlight AI's transformative role in securing networks and data while addressing challenges like privacy concerns and implementation complexities.
