Abstract

AI is no longer just a tool—it’s becoming an essential teammate in cybersecurity. But how real is this transformation? And what does it mean for security teams? In this presentation, we’ll cut through the hype to explore AI’s tangible impact today—how it accelerates threat detection, automates responses, and augments human defenders. We’ll also look at what’s next: the rise of autonomous AI security agents capable of hunting threats, patching vulnerabilities, and defending systems in real-time—without human intervention. Imagine a future where cybersecurity is no longer a reactive process but a self-healing, AI-driven ecosystem. How will this reshape security operations? What new skills will engineers need? Join us as we explore how AI is revolutionising cybersecurity and redefining the future of digital defense.

Presented at STACKx Cybersecurity 2025, organized by GovTech Singapore, on 15 April 2025.
