GLOBSEC and United Europe have the pleasure of inviting you to a hybrid event 

on the topic:

Al in cybersecurity - a double-edged sword?

15 November 2021 (Monday)

16:00 – 18:00 CET

at Permanent Representation of Lithuania to the European Union

(Rue Belliard 41/43, 1040 Brussel) 

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cyberattacks has increased dramatically.  With data security compromised more than ever, more and more companies are turning to AI for digital protection.

A new wave of AI-powered solutions can keep malicious actors on their toes while giving IT teams much needed relief. However, AI is far from being an invincible solution for all security-related incidents in the digital space. This is due to the inherent limitations of AI at the current stage, as well as the fact that malicious actors are increasingly using AI themselves to carry out attacks.
