Title: Leveraging AI for Future Cyber Defence Research in BT

Abstract:
More than 15 billion devices are connected to the internet and that’s almost twice the World’s total Population – 8.1 billion. The increase in devices, advances in technology (software & Hardware), and easy access are not only benefiting humanity but also posing threats, especially due to the exponential growth and influence of AI. For instance, cybercriminals are posing more threats to nations across the globe and leveraging the latest technology, It’s predicted that cybercrime cost the global economy around $7 trillion in 2022. At BT, we continuously evolve to defend and protect the network from cyberattacks by leading and developing worldleading research.
This talk is designed to give you a flavour of the following;
• Future Cyber Defence Research in BT, how we leverage Artificial Intelligence(AI) for automated detection and response to cyberattacks.
• LLM-Fever & cyber landscape
• AI regulation – global & co-ordinated effort!
