Four years after the public debut of ChatGPT, the cybersecurity landscape has entered a new phase—where AI is no longer just a tool, but a battleground.
The 2026 SANS AI Research Survey explores this unprecedented duality: the same generative AI technologies empowering defenders are equally leveraged by attackers. Security teams are now tasked with using AI to secure systems while simultaneously defending against AI-driven threats.
In this exclusive event, we reveal key findings from the latest SANS research, diving into the real-world tactics, struggles, and successes organizations face as they draw from this shared AI wellspring.
