Among the top technology leaders and speakers who will join the global conversation will be Mariana Pereira, Director of Email Security Products at Darktrace. As a Director at Darktrace, she works closely with the development, analyst, and marketing teams to advise technical and non-technical audiences about bolstering their organizations' cyber resilience with leading AI technology.
"We are delighted to join the World Cyber Security Summit as official cyber security partner, to discuss how organizations around the world can address their security challenges with cutting-edge innovation. Against the backdrop of a global shift in the way that companies operate, demand for Autonomous Cyber AI solutions has soared. We look forward to showing our the power of artificial intelligence in fighting sophisticated email threats at the summit. Our AI innovations protect the workforce and data of over 4,700 organizations globally from sophisticated attackers, by detecting, investigating and responding to cyber-threats in real time -- wherever they strike," stated Mariana Pereira.
In her session at World Cyber Security Summit she will be sharing her insights on the topic 'Faking It: Stopping Impersonation Attacks with Cyber AI' and will further aim to explore how today, 94 per cent of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. Impersonation attacks are on the rise, as AI is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or "digital fakes", that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues. Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own - businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with an autonomous response. In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, 'immune system' technology takes action in seconds - stopping cyber-threats before damage is done.
According to Mithun Shetty, CEO of Trescon, the summit will essentially explore how African enterprises and governments are leading an increased effort to strengthen the internet infrastructure and improve the solutions and aid provided by the software industry in a bid to protect its citizens from cyber attacks in the future. He said, "We are extremely honoured to feature Darktrace as the Official AI Cyber Security Partner for the event. Darktrace is vehemently modernizing its marketing technology and customer experience. We are enthusiastic to learn more about how their solutions can drive the future of African cyberspace at World Cyber Security Summit." He further added, "The summit will feature regional and international use-case scenarios, keynotes, panel discussions, tech talks and more from leading technology stakeholders converging from key sectors like Government think-tanks, Healthcare, Banking and Finance; to name a few."
