Closing Keynote Presentation – AI and the New Frontlines of Threat Detection

Abdullah Muhammad, Cyber Defence Manager, Bupa

As cyber threats grow in complexity, speed, and volume, traditional detection methods are no longer sufficient. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are now essential components in modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs), helping teams identify and respond to threats faster than ever before.

This session delves into how AI is being deployed across leading enterprises in Australia to power anomaly detection, behavioural analytics, and automated triage. We’ll also examine how to balance AI decision-making with human oversight, reduce false positives, and establish trust in these intelligent systems.

Learn from real-world implementations and understand how to scale AI initiatives responsibly within your cyber infrastructure.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to implement AI/ML in your threat detection and response strategy
  • Managing AI model bias and drift in security use cases
  • Real-world examples of AI-powered SOC transformation
  • The risks of over-reliance on AI and maintaining human oversight
