The Future of Hacking – or How Hackers Are Losing Their Jobs to AI
When AI becomes the attacker, who is left to defend us?
Hacking is entering a new era. For decades, cyber attacks were carried out by humans typing commands into terminals. Today, artificial intelligence is beginning to automate the attacker's playbook – discovering vulnerabilities, crafting exploits, generating convincing phishing campaigns, and adapting in real time.
In this keynote, Menny Barzilay explores how the rise of AI, autonomous systems, and massive cybercrime ecosystems is transforming the nature of cyber attacks. What happens when malware can adapt and choose its next step on its own? When deepfakes can impersonate executives in real time? When offensive AI agents continuously scan the internet looking for weaknesses?
The key question is no longer "Who is attacking us?" It becomes "What is attacking us?"
