Register
Abstract: As cyberattackers incorporate advanced technologies for their hacking efforts, security strategies must evolve from reactive to proactive to keep pace. With current cybersecurity capabilities struggling to defend against sophisticated attack vectors, AI-driven proactive security offers a viable path to advance security capabilities. This fourth session of the CEH webinar series will explore how AI-driven strategies elevate ethical hacking from reactive to proactive—empowering ethical hackers to identify, detect, and mitigate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. The webinar will also focus on the role of AI-driven ethical hacking techniques in uncovering hidden risks, improving accuracy in penetration testing, and enabling adaptation against dynamic threats. Attendees will also learn about the latest advancements in AI-driven threat detection, vulnerability scanning, and attack surface management.
Key takeaways:
- Challenges of reactive security approaches
- Role of AI-driven tools in streamlining vulnerability assessments
- Role of AI in identifying potential threats in real-time
- Best practices for integrating AI into ethical hacking workflows
