“The stone age didn’t end because we ran out of stones. It ended because we found a better way to build.”
— Paraphrased from Sheikh Yamani

Cybersecurity is having its “better-way” moment. When an analyst at our SOC used ChatGPT to craft a perfectly weaponised phishing lure in under 30 seconds, everyone in the room realised two things: AI has already changed the rules, and our careers will either sink or soar depending on how quickly we adapt.

-AI is expected to automate up to 30 percent of repetitive security tasks by 2027. If your skills fall in that category, you're at risk of being replaced.
-Attackers are already using AI-driven red teams to discover zero-day vulnerabilities while defenders are still writing detection rules.
-Cyber leaders are now expected to understand AI risk, model governance, and digital ethics, not in the future but now.

This talk is your go-to guide for navigating cybersecurity in the age of AI. Discover how automation is reshaping roles, which skills will keep you relevant, and why creativity, psychology, and ethics are your biggest career assets. Whether you're just starting out or looking to stay ahead, you'll gain the tools and insights to not just survive but thrive in the future of cyber.
