Building the Autonomous Security Platform of Tomorrow

Cyberattacks don't announce themselves - they unfold quietly, and by the time most organizations realize what's happening, the damage is done. Through a real-world ransomware case study, this session examines what stands between a near-miss and a full-scale catastrophe, and why the answer goes far beyond technology alone. With security teams stretched thin, skilled talent scarce, and attackers increasingly leveraging AI to accelerate and automate their campaigns, the pressure on organizations has never been greater. This session presents how ESET is responding to these modern realities — from the persistent challenges of manpower and expertise, to the rise of AI-powered threats — and what the next generation of proactive, automated cybersecurity looks like in practice.
