What to expect

This session provides a deep technical exploration of how AI is reshaping the cybersecurity stack—from the attackers’ acceleration of automation and agentic behaviors to the architectural and operational pressures placed on modern enterprises. Viewers will gain a practitioner‑level understanding of emerging AI‑driven threat patterns, defensive design considerations, and platform‑level innovations from WWT and Fortinet that support secure AI adoption at scale.

o The evolving AI‑powered threat landscape and how attackers are using automation, small models and agentic behaviors to scale attacks at unprecedented rates.
o Top challenges enterprises face, including visibility gaps, data governance risks, skill shortages and growing complexity across AI use cases.
o How Fortinet is responding with advanced AI/ML, deep threat intelligence and platform‑based defenses that protect across the entire security stack.
o Ways to augment strained SOC/NOC teams using gen‑AI and agentic AI to reduce alert noise, automate workflows and accelerate decision‑making.
o Strategies for securing modern and sovereign AI environments, including LLM protection, hybrid architectures and WWT’s ARMOR framework for operational AI resilience.

Goals and Objectives

This session is designed to help viewers understand how rapidly evolving AI‑driven threats are reshaping security requirements and what concrete steps they can take to strengthen their own environments. WWT and Fortinet aim to give teams the insight needed to assess AI‑accelerated attack techniques, improve visibility across networks, cloud, code, and emerging AI workflows, and apply platform‑based controls that reduce fragmentation and risk. Viewers will learn how to integrate AI‑assisted operations to ease SOC/NOC burdens, incorporate security earlier in AI development cycles, and design secure, scalable, and compliant AI or sovereign AI architectures using proven frameworks and validated approaches.
