When Attackers Weaponize AI and Defenders Fight Back with Smarter Remediation

Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity, and not always for the better. Attackers are now weaponizing AI to speed up reconnaissance, create exploit code, and bypass traditional defenses. Security teams can’t afford to rely on outdated vulnerability management practices.

In this webinar, Scott Kuffer (COO, Nucleus Security) and Corey Brunkow (Director of Federal Operations, Horizon3.ai) break down how AI is changing the threat landscape and what defenders can do to stay ahead.

You’ll learn:

• How attackers are leveraging AI to develop and scale cyberattacks
• Why risk-based vulnerability management is critical in an AI-driven world
• Practical strategies for smarter remediation that prioritize business context
• Real-world examples of applying AI-aware remediation in enterprise environments
• Actionable recommendations for vulnerability and remediation teams

This session is designed for CISOs, vulnerability managers, remediation leads, and frontline security practitioners who want to strengthen their defenses against AI-powered threats.
