What's Next in AI Security

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
