Good AI, Bad AI:
Your Cyber Defence Playbook
-
23 October 2025 | 4PM - 5PM BST
AI is changing the rules of cybersecurity. Attackers are scaling phishing and fraud, while defenders are using AI to detect, investigate, and respond faster.
Join Smarttech247 and Splunk to learn how to make AI work for you, NOT against you.

AI is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity and not always in your favour. Attackers are using it to scale phishing, fraud, and identity theft, while defenders are under pressure to keep pace with new regulations and evolving threats.
In this webinar, experts from Smarttech247 and Splunk will cut through the hype and show how to apply the right controls across identity, data, and model use, prove compliance with the EU AI Act without slowing your teams, and learn from real-world wins and pitfalls in the field.
You’ll also see how Splunk and VisionX accelerate analyst workflows, turning alerts into faster investigations and responses, and walk away with a practical 90-day roadmap to scale AI securely with the right people, process, and technology.
This is a practical, expert-led session designed for CISOs, SOC leaders, compliance officers, and security professionals who want to understand both the risks and the opportunities of AI.
Don’t miss your chance to strengthen your cyber defence playbook. Register today!
