The SANS AI Cybersecurity Summit brings together many of today's most influential voices in AI and cybersecurity to explore how AI is being applied across the security community. From using AI to strengthen security operations to understanding AI-powered attacks, you'll hear practical perspectives from practitioners who are testing, building, and defending with these technologies every day.
Join us in Arlington, VA, to connect with cybersecurity professionals, AI and machine learning experts, and peers who are sharing real-world experiences, innovative approaches, and lessons learned. Through keynotes, technical sessions, lightning talks, and hands-on workshops, you'll discover practical ways to evaluate, adopt, and apply AI in your own environment.
Whether you're leading an AI strategy, evaluating new capabilities for your organization, or putting AI to work in day-to-day security operations, you'll leave with practical insights you can apply right away, along with new connections to a community helping shape what's next.
"The Summit was incredibly insightful, bridging the gap between theoretical AI and practical cybersecurity execution. The focus on both offensive and defensive AI capabilities is exactly what the industry needs right now." - Khaled Ahmed Mossad
This is a critical information-sharing and educational experience, and certainly among the best that SANS hosts. I’d recommend this summit for anyone involved with AI.
The workshop I selected was excellent, with a strong focus on practical labs, and I walked away feeling much more equipped to handle upcoming challenges in machine learning security.
We can always rely on SANS for excellent educational data straight from the trenches.
Wide array of relevant topics of concern for AI use and risk considerations. One of the best virtual events I've attended.
Gain deeper understanding of how to deploy AI and Machine Learning across your cybersecurity strategy and operations while securing rapid AI transformation in every business unit.

You’ll have the chance to engage with Summit Chairs, speakers, and your peers in the community for deep-dive discussions, and casual chats over breaks, meals, and evening receptions.

The days will be filled with the latest in AI cybersecurity, but the fun goes up a notch at night for those joining us in Arlington.

Explore the latest tools and solutions in AI cybersecurity.
