Name
Tech Talk Series 3 - Turning AI into Actionable Cyber Intelligence Across Critical Sectors
Description

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how security teams detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats. This session explores the spectrum of AI techniques—from behavioural analytics to anomaly detection—and how they transform unstructured data into actionable intelligence across enterprise environments.

Drawing on real-world case studies from UK Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), including healthcare, energy, finance, and telecommunications, we’ll examine how AI-driven insights uncover sophisticated campaigns such as state-linked ShadowPad malware and accelerate human decision-making through tools like Darktrace’s AI Analyst. We’ll also highlight research into pre-CVE anomaly detection and the unique advantages of behavioural AI in identifying emerging threats before they become exploits.
