Billington Cybersecurity Summit: AI Takes Center Stage
Symantec, Thursday, September 25th, 2025
While adversaries can boost the quality and volume of attacks with AI, defenders will apply AI to counter attacks with predictive and proactive defenses.
Recently, I had the opportunity to share some of my experience and insights at the Billington CyberSecurity Summit in Washington, D.C. Moderated by Chris Townsend, Global Vice President of Public Sector at Elastic, our panel session, 'The Future of Cyber Threat: Anticipating Threat Actors' Next Steps,' explored how threat actors are evolving and what organizations can do now to prepare. Not surprisingly, AI was a hot topic. We also discussed quantum computing, emerging threats, and the cybersecurity staffing shortage.
