In the AI era, cybersecurity has become critically important as intelligent systems increasingly handle sensitive data and automate decision-making across industries. While AI enhances efficiency and innovation, it also introduces new attack surfaces, enabling more sophisticated cyber threats such as deepfakes, automated hacking, and data poisoning. Strong cybersecurity measures are essential to protect personal information, ensure the integrity of AI models, and maintain trust in digital systems. Without robust safeguards, the same technologies designed to improve lives can be exploited, making cybersecurity a foundational pillar of a safe and reliable AI-driven future.

Following the talk, join us for an information session on our specialised Master’s in Cyber Security, where you’ll learn more about the program and curriculum.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants should be able to:

• Understand the growing importance of cybersecurity in the AI era
• Identify emerging AI-driven cyber threats
• Recognise key vulnerabilities in AI systems
• Gain insight into best practices for securing data
• Protect AI models
• Implement effective risk management strategies to ensure safe and trustworthy use of artificial intelligence

Who Should Attend?

• This topic is highly relevant for IT professionals, cybersecurity specialists, AI developers, data scientists, and software engineers who design or manage intelligent systems. It is also valuable for business leaders, policymakers, and risk managers responsible for digital strategy, compliance, and data protection. Students, researchers, and educators in technology-related fields will benefit from understanding emerging threats and safeguards in the AI era. Additionally, students, prospective students, and Bachelor in IT alumni who are interested in the cybersecurity careers.

Agenda

Light bites and drinks will be provided.
